Dislike the Kitchener Stitch? Try the Finchley Graft! A hey BrownBerry #knitting #tutorial

Wonderful, thank you!

Thank you very much, someone did show me this method but did not know what it was called

Thanknyou! That is awesome. I am new to knitting socks and always have a hard time with closing the toe!

Thank you! I have just tried it on a sock that was waiting to be finished, and the result is beautiful! I didn't like top-down socks, this may change :-) Thanks again!

Think I might try this on my next sock 😊 I usually use a three needle bind-off from the wrong side.

I just worked that right along with you. I'm glad I decided to learn something new. How can I ever go back to Kitchener now?!

thanks for a great tutorial on a 'new to me' technique! The darning needle is also beautiful. Time for me to go hunting for something similar as a birthday gift suggestion for my husband!

Thank you, I will definitely try that method!

Your tutorials are the best

Like the pattern where can I find it please

Wow that looks so good, Marce! I don’t mind the Kitchener stitch at all, but this is definitely simpler! So cool. Probably the only hard part will be turning my sock inside out on the needles. :)

This has become my go-to sock graft. I airways struggled to remember the kitchener stitch

What a great finish. I'll definitely use this grafting method from now on. Thank you for sharing.

I finally tried this closure, omg! So much easier. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for EVERYTHING

So cool! Almost done with my first sock and am ready to start the toe! 🤗🤗🤗

Never heard of the Finchley Graft before. I like it and will try it. I like your darning needle too.

Just completed my second Finchley!! Pure genius! 🤗🤗🧦🧦🤗🤗🧶

I have now done it four times! 100% success and I think it is now memorized. Thank you again for about the third or fourth time for this wonderful tutorial! I will never Kitchener again. LOL! 🤗🧦🤗

Wow! That is great. Thank you.

Wow, such great videos, and have been a fan of yours since showing how to to Y/O increases which replace Make Ones (right or left). So a great graft for toes and heels.

More reason to like top down. I find it much more labor intensive to do Jenny's Stretchy Bind-off than to do a long tail or crocheted cast on then do my ribbing.

Sometimes I like to knit one sock in a pattern top down then the next one toe up, just for grins to show myself it doesn't matter when you wear it, the fit can be just as nice.

Absolutely fabulous! I used this graft to finish a cowl today, and I can’t see where it was joined. Thank you so much!

Revolutionary! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Thank you so much! I was able to do this technique ❤🧶🧦👣

😀🙌🏿🙏🏿Thank you for showing this method of closing the toe. Can’t wait to try as I really cannot grasp the Kitchener method💞

Thanks for this, I've never heard of the Finchley Graft but it worked like a charm!

Thank you so much. I just couldn't figure out the Kitchener stitch. This is Soo easy.

Thank you! This stitch is new to me, but you explained so completely I think I’ll give it a try! God Bless!

You had me at no Kitchener! Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you! I hate Kitchener stitch, but your method is so easy. Love it ❤️

Thank you, I'll try that on my next pair. Was that a cotton blend?

Thank you for this. I just finished a lovely sock & as usual messed up the kitchener graft. I can't stand that thing. What you showed us today looks easier. I will definately try it on my second sock.

Do you have a different way to turn a heel?

Loved knitting the socks but I use DPNS and they are extremely hard to run inside-out!

I followed along with you and my sock turned out great and my tension looks nice & even. Thanks .. I am a happy new subscriber to your channel 💜

Thank you for introducing me to this graft. It is so much easier than Kitchener stitch!

What a revelation ! So much more straightforward.
Other method scrambles my brain trying to remember 🙂👍

I cant even tell you how many times I've done the kitchener, and it looks terrible every time. I just tried this one and it looks fantastic! Even stitches and no ears!

I just wanted to say thank you for the tutorial. I keep coming back to it because it's a great technique and you're tutorial is easy to follow.

Oh where is that yarn from?

Thank you so much, I am just plain bad at Kitchener, and this is so easy. You have relieved my anxiety level on sock knitting.

Great understandable teaching of this graft. I was wondering if after doing knitwise, if it would be possible to turn the work around and instead of doing purlwise to do knitwise?!

Awesome. Found you thanks to Denise, earthtones Girl

Absolutely beautiful tutorial, thank you so much for you time, energy and effort to make this. Never looking back, love this graft! :)

Oh thank you so much for this tutorial. This is way easier than the Kitchener stitch for closing the toe. ❤❤❤❤

Phew, at last a toe that I'm really satisfied with. Thank you so much 🎉

Thanks for this tutorial , very clear instructions .

I'm sitting here shaking my head in amazement. You make this look SO easy. What a great teacher you are!

Very nice graft! I’m going to try it.

I get it... This is the same Kitchener but instead of starting with the stitch off you end with the stitch off. Knitting is so awesome... Whatever allows for simpler memorisation is a win for me! 💪🏾
