pick up the stitches on the bottom end of your project and put them onto a spare needle – then – holding both needles with the stitches on together knit 2sts together ( 1 from each needle) – as you work your way across the row cast off (bind off) as usual
As described in the message above, You put the other side back on a needle trying to match the same number of stitches. When knitting two together it is sometimes called the ‘Kitchener’ stitch. It is used to finish the toe of a sock. They do use a plastic yarn needle to accomplish this though. There are videos on U-tube on how to do this technique,and you can Google ‘Kitchener stitch’ for instructions.
You can start with what is known as a provisional cast on and knit from there. Then you can remove the provisional yarn and put the open loops on another needle (no, it won’t ravel, it can’t ravel up) and either graft the ends together with Kitchener Stitch or, using a third needle, do a three needle bind off. Both of these techniques make a much neater join than sewing the ends together. Even if you sew them with mattress stitch you should, usually, use the yarn you knit the piece with, not regular sewing thread.
