How to Seam Garter Stitch with a Vertical Seam

Moc An Knits

Finishing your knitting can sometimes feel like the trickiest part - but it doesn't have to be.

If you're joining two garter stitch edges together, this Vertical Seam is one of my favorite methods. It creates a clean, flat seam that blends beautifully into the garter ridges, making the join almost disappear.

In this short tutorial, I'll walk you through the process step by step and share a few little tips that help keep the seam even and tidy. It's a simple technique that's perfect for hoods, scarves, cardigans, bags, blankets, and any project knit in garter stitch.

A neat seam can make such a difference to the finished look of your project, and luckily this one is both beginner-friendly and satisfying to work.

Happy Knitting!
