Grafting
We have a fabulous collection of articles and tutorials for you here on grafting, thanks to Interweave Senior Project Editor, Joni Coniglio. She has multiple articles (and videos) with in-depth instructions and detailed illustrations on every grafting topic. Joni’s experience and knowledge covers a wide range of instruction including the fundamentals, kitchener stitch, grafting lace charts, lace edgings, two-sided lace, and grafting brioche stitch
If you’re still a little apprehensive about starting out, read this great article by Lindsay Smith, or this one by Allison Korleski!

We’re certain that you’ll love these articles and will want to check out our other great knitting resources in the Interweave shop, including knitting videos, kits, books, ebooks, and magazines!
