Sound scary??
It’s actually a piece of cake, let me walk you through it
you need to set up your yarn and then start to roll in your darning needles in and out in two fun easy steps in a certain way, sounds easy RIGHT!!
follow the directions below carefully for a neat Kitchener Stitch finish
Directions
Cut your yarn for the right length to your project and thread it to a darning needle, hold your knitting needles with the yarn coming from the back needle of the work, then set up your yarn so it is coming from the right direction to start the next steps
Set Up
Insert your darning needle purlwise in first stitch from the front knitting needle, pull yarn
Insert your darning needle knitlwise in first stitch from the back knitting needle, pull yarn
Note: try to keep a good tension while pulling the yarn so that the stitch will be exactly similar to your other stitches
Now you have simply finished your set up and ready for a little fun with repeating next two steps
Step 1
working in two stitches from the front needle, insert your darning needle knitlwise in first stitch and drop it of, and purlwise in second stitch, pull yarn
Step 2
working in two stitches from the back needle, insert your darning needle purllwise in first stitch and drop it of, and knitlwise in second stitch, pull yarn
Repeat step 1 and 2 to last two stitches
Finishing
Insert your darning needle knitwise in last stitch from the front knitting needle, drop stitch
Insert your darning needle purltwise in last stitch from the front knitting needle, drop stitch
pull yarn and weave your ends
that’s it you got it
