How to sew invisible grafting / kitchener stitch in the cast off edge from wrong side

In this DROPS video we show how to sew an invisible seam in the cast off edge from wrong side (same technique can also be used when sewing cast on and cast off edge together).
Put the pieces with the wrong side together, edge to edge. Fasten the thread by sewing the two corners together twice. Put the needle in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch on the first piece (down and up), then sew in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch on the second piece (down and up), continue sewing every other part, down and up.

We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.

DROPS Design :

Dear May, if the straps have been worked in reversed stocking stitch you can use this technique, but if you worked the straps have been worked in stocking stitch, you can use this technique instead. Happy knitting!

Olisiko apua, kuinka kiinnittää hiha, jossa on reunimmaisena nurjaa neuletta ja myös vartalokappaleessa on reunassa nurja neule. Eli vastaava ohje nurjalla neuolottuun (ainaoikein), joka teillä on videona hihan kiinnittäminen sileäneuleiseen puseroon?
