Kitchener stitch is a method of grafting two sets of live stitches together. With this technique, you are able to seam unbound stitches together invisibly: the seam you create with your sewing needle actually creates a row of stitches. Make sure that the two pieces you are grafting together each have the same number of stitches.
Although this technique is not rocket science, it does involve your concentration. Until you are proficient, ensure that there are no distractions while you are seaming together two pieces using Kitchener Stitch, because it is easy to lose your place and forget where you are in the process.
This tutorial shows grafting together two pieces of stockinette work, however, the same instructions will apply to grafting garter stitch. Because this technique will simulate a row of knit stitches, it may not be the right choice for grafting patterned stitches unless your intent is to break the pattern.
You will be using a tapestry needle to do Kitchener Stitch. The tapestry needle will be passed through the stitches in a manner similar to the direction in which a knitting needle is inserted within a stitch: purlwise or knitwise.
I find it useful to think of Kitchener Stitch as comprising of 3 distinct phases: First 2 Stitches, Repeating Stitch Pattern, Last 2 Stitches.
