Grafting (knitting)

In knitting, grafting is the joining of two knitted fabrics using yarn and a needle in one of three types of seams: The Kitchener stitch is a common method for the third type of seam.

The yarn follows the route of a row of ordinary knitting.

This is often done when closing off a knitted sock at the toe.

The technique is named after Horatio Herbert Kitchener, though the technique was practiced long before.
