Kitchener Stitch Written Tutorial

The Kitchener stitch is used to close knitted seams from ‘live’ stitches, that is stitches that are still on the needle such as closing the toe of a knitted sock.

The Provisional Cast-on Method

A provisional cast on uses a crochet hook to form loose, temporary stitches into which you can begin to knit. The loose, crocheted chain can then be removed to reveal live stitches. This technique is used with double brim hats such as my Aran Double Brim Hat Pattern.

The Long Tail Cast-On Method

The long tail cast on method using a length of yarn double over and held in the left hand. The needle held in the right hand is then used to pick up stitches from the two strands in the left hand. This method makes for a neat, stretchy cast-on edge which works well for blankets and ribbed edges.
