Place the two cast off edges together right side of knitting facing out.
Make sure the rows and stitches are aligned, especially if there is a pattern
Pin in place with straight sewing pins every 2 inches (5 cm)
Holding the work in your left hand and wool & needle in the right (reverse if left-handed) pick up the outer edge of the cast off stitches on each piece & knit them together to form a new stitch.
Repeat on the next 2 cast off edges to form a stitch.
Lift the first stitch over the second
Continue until all the stitches are joined to form a flat seam
