I do almost anything not to seam a knitted item, but for my new grandchild, I bit the bullet and made something that had to be seamed. I used your technique and OMG, it looks beautiful. I want to cry. You are brilliant Roxanne. I love you videos and am a devoted follower.

The best camera work and speed for a total understanding

An oldie video, but the best explanation ever!

This is what I was doing, except that I didn't know the pieces needed to be on the same side! *facepalm* I faced the ends together. I always come to your videos for instruction when I am stuck and I'm never disappointed. Thank you! I recommend that everyone studies how to create duplicate stitch with a needle. I use it as embroidery over my knitting, fix mistakes, and even sewn in my ends. It took my knitting to a whole new level and I see that it's exactly what you're doing here too.

Love this video. So glad you talk about how it looks on the wrong side.

Thanks again🌷

Another video to save for future reference. Thanks. Can hardly wait for Friday.

Love your analytical, but straightforward style. So helpful!

Just as I was finishing up a garter stitch cowl, up pops your Technique Tuesday for how to join the two ends invisible and flat!! Many thanks for making this seem easy and do-able.

Great resource and always appreciate the detailed clear instructions

Thank you for this video I've been looking for a flat seam for garter stitch so I can seam up a pair of slippers and now I've found one.

What a great result you got! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for your video. I knit a Telluride shawl and the pattern called for a slipped first stitch on the sides of the shawl...so lots of bumps to seam...thank you again..your video is easy to follow.

love all your videos Roxanne, Thank you.

Amazing technique and explanations. I like that you use the same colour to seam.

Thank you. It was just what I was searching for to finish my project.

Very clear instructions and just what I needed.

Hi Rox. I really like the look of that seam.

I'm planning out and drafting a mobius cowl, and working it in the round wouldn't have given me the right number of twists. I was really hoping that someone out there knew how to join garter stitch in a way that would be reversible, not very visible from either side. I tested it and it turned out amazing. Thank you for the incredibly clear description and for all the little details you pointed out to make sure it goes smoothly.

Fabulous. Thanks!

Thank you so much Roxanne, super as always :-)

Thank you!!

Your instructions are always so clear! I like the look of this seam very much.

Thanks!

Thank you.

Wonderful demo! I appreciated the closeups and excellent contrast.

Thanks

Great video, thank you. I’m making a blanket from squares (first big project) but don’t have very long tails from cast on or bind off. Can this still work with a separate length of wool? Would I need to somehow loop it into the corner where the tail would have been first? (Sorry, I’m not down with the lingo)

Thank you so very much for this amazingly helpful video! Just one small question, is it a strong enough seam for a cardigan or sweater?

Thank you so much for your excellent how to videos. But as usual Mine has to be different so I am again lost. The garment I have to finish up has all three of the different textures, the plain stockinette, reverse stockinette and garter. There is a cable yoke piece, then you pick up stitches along the long side of that cable yoke piece and there is the reverse stockinette, then you pick up stitches again off the long the edge of the yoke and you do garter stitch till you reach the neck and you bind off. So nothing you are are doing matches mine. There is no cast on row, just picked up stitches, and where you start is my bind off. I hope you can help me because I am ready to through it away and it is a shame to do that with just the joining is all that's left. I am thanking you in advance for helping me.

I am planning on making a striped afghan. Is this technique the right one to securely piece the Afghan together? Some strips will be 70 inches.

Great video and instructions! just one question - do you work from the right side or the wrong side?

I do have a blanket to sew together, but first, have to rip out the blanket stitch I started with. I lost the pattern but it needs an edge to this blanket and I am wondering how to make the corners look good, This is thick yarn and I will have probably 5 rows of garter edge around it. Do you have any suggestions for the edge corners? This is thick chunky yarn. Thank you!

What about joining two different colors? Something to play around with 😆

Thank you for your great work - so appreciated as an intermediate- beginner! Ive knitted a toddlers sideways Shepherds cardi in stocking stitch with garter ridges and I need to lengthen the base as he has grown since I started it (as I jumped to another project). I need to knit a new piece and graft it, or seam it, on or Join As I Go with a set of live stitches (do you have a video for JAYG as I cant see one) . Which would be the best strategy in terms of durablity? Hes going to be pullling it on and off with vigour :( I want a good looking connection with no high ridges in the join. I note you said this garter version is a Mattress Stitch - do you have suggestions or a video for working stitches of pearl and plain. I'd appreciate your advice very much . Thank you.

Hi Roxanne hope all's well with you. I am ready to sew the shoulder step seams in my garter stich cardigan and I was wondering if you have a video for this. I have looked but can only find the stocking stitch one. I'm guessing it will be the same process but would be keen to see it done by you if this is at all possible. Regards Katy

Suggestion; if you used lighter colored yarn's it would be much easier to see exactly what you're doing!

Hello great video! Beginner here, would this stitch be strong enough for a garter stitch jumper seams? Or would mattress stitch be better?

I’m knitting a sleeve of a baby jacket. Would the same instructions still apply because I’m putting the right and left side of the sleeve together?

Hi Roxanne, this looks so easy when the two pieces being joined are nice and flat! I want to use this method to seam a sweater sleeve. My edges are curled and the edges are not pretty! 😢. Also, this project was purled on the right side and knitted on the wrong side, so maybe this isn’t a true garter stitch, but the right side looks like the garter stitch. Can you tell I’m a novice knitter! 😉 Any advice would be most helpful. Thank you. Debbie

When I'm knitting my garter stitch item, do I knit regular edge , i.e. knit 1st stitch ? I don't work an alternative selvedge edge, correct ?

Mine looks lovely on the right side, however on the back side, its very bumpy :(

I'm doing a blanket, will this be okay when having to sew cast on edges together etc??

What if you have flat piece with CO edge at bottom and BO at top, and you fold over sides to join- are those two edges in position like you say about at start of video? I can’t picture it to know if edges for seaming will look the same or not?

Out of 8 mins we get 2 mins of actual explanation of this tricky stitch!
