Thus far, things have been pretty simple: If you’re grafting in stocking stitch, you follow the basic knitted grafting instructions, and if you’re grafting in ribbing you substitute grafted purl stitch instructions wherever you need a purl stitch in the ribbing.
If you want to get even fancier and graft in a specific texture or colour pattern, things get more complicated, but we’re still going to be working our grafts with knitting techniques and tools rather than sewing!
Note that this article will refer to the instructions from the two previous articles in this series: “How to Knit Your Grafts” for basic knitted grafts and “How to Knit Your Grafts: Ribbing” for basic purled grafts. Keep these articles handy for reference as you read through the instructions here.
