    This is a brilliant technique for grafting toe stitches together on socks. It is
    worked as follows:
    SET UP: Before starting you
    need to prepare the stitches on
    the needle. Hold the two needles
    with the remaining stitches
    parallel. The loose end of yarn
    should be coming from the back
    needle and lying to the right of
    the work.

    Thread yarn end onto a tapestry
    needle and insert it purlwise into
    the irst stitch on the needle closest
    to you. Pull the yarn through but
    leave the stitch on the needle.
