caption_attribution_description: English: Knitted grafting stitches
context_page_description: In knitting, grafting is the joining of two knitted fabrics using yarn and a needle in one of three types of seams:
  selvage-to-selvage seam,
  selvage-to-end seam, or
  end-to-end seam.
  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.
