NEW! Kitchener Stitch for Stocking Stitch
This tutorial demonstrates how to work the most common method of grafting, kitchener stitch for stocking stitch. Step by step photos guide you through the process, and a few handy tips are also included to help ensure an even graft.
Kitchener Stitch Analysis
This tutorial demonstrates the differences between stocking stitch, reverse stocking stitch and garter stitch graftings. You will need my other kitchener tutorial (listed above) to cover the St.St aspect. Tips for grafting other stitches are included.



Kitchener Analysis
Elastic Bind-off
This tutorial shows you a fantastic method for casting off that keeps the stretchy factor of rib based fabrics. Perfect for top-down Hats where a comfortable and stretchy brim is important.
Picot Bind-off
This tutorial demonstrates one of the many ways to create a picot cast-off. Ideal for any place that doesn't require a stretchy or sturdy finish, and where a decorative edge would be ideal.
3 Needle Bind-off
This tutorial demonstrates how to work a 3 needle bind-off, which is a strong, structured seam. This technique is another option for joining live stitches, and can offer a decorative finish. Instructions are included for dealing with short row wraps.
Crochet Bind-off
This tutorial demonstrates how to work a crochet bind-off which is the recommended finish for both the Tri-Peak Hat and Jester Hat, found on the Free Pattern page. This is a great decorative bind off and a good alternative to a 3-needle bind-off!
