Craftsy - Free Knitting Class

When you want to bring separate pieces of fabric together in an invisible way, grafting is the answer. Join lifelong knitter, Anne Hanson, for her free, online Craftsy class, Ins & Outs of Grafting, and learn to seamlessly join pieces of any knit fabric for an elegant final result!

Grafting is a wonderful, valuable technique to add to your knitting repertoire. A grafted join connects two separate pieces of fabric seamlessly with an imitation of a knitted row. This allows for a stretchy, flat join that has the same drape as the rest of the fabric and appears continuous.

In your first lesson, Anne will walk you step-by-step through grafting in plain stockinette, tensioning your stitches, and finishing the graft. Next, Anne will show you how to graft textured fabric in garter stitch, in seed stitch, and in ribbing. In the following lesson, you'll see how to graft lace. Anne will also teach you match lace motifs by editing patterns for optimum, seamless results.

Anne Hanson is a lifelong knitter, and the owner, designer, and writer at Knitspot. She loves to share her expertise, and empower knitters to tackle new techniques with confidence. Sign up for Anne's free class, and finish any grafted project invisibly and professionally.
