Grafting Sock Toes with Kitchener Stitch

Grafting Sock Toes with Kitchener Stitch

To achieve a perfectly rounded sock toe without “ears”, simply graft the toes with Kitchener stitch as follows:


STEP 1:

Insert the tapestry needle knit-wise through the first stitch on the front needle & slip that stitch off the needle.

Repeat STEPS 1-2-3-4 until 1 st is left of each needle. Slip these sts off the needles & pull yarn to tighten up the loops. Weave in the end on WS.
