Step 1: You will need

Step 2: Preparation

Place the edges next to each other, rows matching each other, row for row.

Use pins to hold your knitted piece together.

Find the seams you will be joining and pin the seams together to hold them in place.

Measure enough yarn, roughly three times the length of the edge of the seam you wish to sew.

Step 3: Sewing the seams together

Starting at one end, sew in a zigzag fashion through the knot of each row, alternating from edge to edge.

At the end of the seam, pull the work together so that it is firmly held but not too tight.

Finally, weave in all your ends to create a perfect finished piece.

    I love knitting and this helped me a lot. I knitted this CUTE baby hat with little animal ears, and I needed help sewing the seams together. This is my favorite video for just sewing your knitted fabric.

    This video might be great as a refresher for pro-knitters, but I am a new knitter and this video was MORE confusing than trying to interpret still photos on seaming at another web site.
