Kitchener bun

Okay kiddo, so a Kitchener bun is actually something called a Kitchener stitch. It's not a type of bread! When you knit something, you usually have two separate pieces that you want to join together, like the top and bottom of a sock or mitten. That's where the Kitchener stitch comes in.

It's a special way of weaving the two pieces together so that it looks seamless and smooth. First, you put the two pieces of knitting next to each other, with the live stitches still on your needles. Then, you thread a yarn needle with some extra yarn that matches your knitting.

Next, you follow a special pattern of steps that involves threading the yarn back and forth between the live stitches on both pieces of knitting. It might seem a little tricky at first, but if you take it one step at a time, you'll end up with a neat and tidy seam that looks like it's just one continuous piece of knitting.

So, a Kitchener bun is actually a special technique that lets you seamlessly join two pieces of knitting together. Now you know!
