You have your stitches on the circular needle or DPN’s. You have started the first row. What is the best method to join the two ends together so there is no gap where the two ends butt together? Thanks
before I join, i carefully pop the last stitch and first stitch off the needles and switch them around…then i knit as normal.
i have also cast on one extra stitch and moved the last one to the beginning of the round and stitched them together.
i found that the first method seems to do a better job of tightening that gap.
and then when i am done, i use the tail to close up any gap that is left.
:woohoo:
Wow! I never thought about doing that. I’m so glad I saw this post. That’s an awesome tip. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks to Lighting57 for asking!
I do the extra stitch and knit it with the first stitch too. Helps loads!

Now this is information that you don’t find in the “How To” books. Atleast, I haven’t ran across it. Thanks so much. 
This may be what brendajos was talking about, but when I do circular knitting, I knit the first 3 or so stitches with both the working yarn and the cast-on tail. This eliminates the gap!
I do the same thing brendajos does: I slip the last stitch on one needle over the first on the other. Makes a very sturdy join. Never have a problem with gaping.
