I am a left-handed knitter who knits in the right-handed way :-) Just follow the steps that I demonstrate in this video, and you'll form a beautiful seam that looks like a chain of stitches. Happy knitting!
Thank you for this lovely tutorial. I have been using a three needle bind off for shoulders. This technique looks decorative, firm, and not nearly as bulky. I love learning a new skill and your tutorials are so comfortable to follow.
Beautiful! And so well explained, as always. I used to do similar with strips for afghans, but the edges were finished. With live stitches, this is a GREAT method for shoulder seams and I can't wait to try it : ) Thank you !
Great, thank you. I like the visible chain stitch. Would also like to try it on the reverse side and see how it looks on the right side. I can also see the potential for NOT pulling it thru the last stitch, but keepingvthe stitches on the hook, which would leave you with a nice join but live stitches you could carry on knitting with... interesting but can't quite see the application for that, but I think it would work!
Yes, it could be a bit thick for finishing the toe part of a sock, especially if it is a sock that you plan to wear inside a shoe. In this case, it is better to use the alternative to Kitchener stitch described in this video tutorial - ua-cam.com/video/BDcffy9mMwE/v-deo.html But if you are after an invisible seam, Kitchener stitch is the best option. Happy knitting!
Looks great! Wish there was a version for us left-handed folks!
Follow the same steps, but start from the left side of the fabric. Happy knitting :-)
Thanks for another great one! Not sure if it’s because I’m a lefty, but I’ve never been able to master Kitchener stitch, so thank you!❤
Hi Maryna. What a cool technique! Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely weekend.🩷
Thank you, Thea :-) You too, have a great weekend 🌞
Thank you so much, Maryna! ❤
You are most welcome, Gail :-) Happy knitting!
you knocked it our of the park once again!
Thank you, Johnnie. You are very kind :-)
Thanks so much! Love your tutorials!
Thank you, Catherine 🙏
It will be interesting trying to make this work for a left-hander who knits in the right-handed way.

I like this a lot. I’d really like to see what it looks like when done with your actual working yarn instead of the contrasting color.
The chain of stitches looks exactly the same, but the colour doesn't stand out. You'll see it when you give it a try. Happy knitting, my friend!
Looks much easier than the Kitchener stitch. Can't wait to give it a try. Thank you.

Yes, I wondered how it would look with the chain on the inside too!
That's a great idea! This lovely chain would look gorgeous on reverse stockinette. Thank you, my friend!
Would this be too thick for a sock.
