Kitchener stich

#1

I am finishing up knitting a purse so I can felt it. This is something new for me. At the end of the strap, the pattern is telling me to graft the 5 stiches on my needle to the 5 stiches on my stitch holder. The Kitchener stitch is recommended. I have never heard of this before. Help!! Thanks.

it is a VERY complicated stitch until you see it work
I have read at least 4 different descriptions of how to do it
when I saw the Video on THIS site, it all fell into place

now I can do it almost without reading the directions
