Grafting/Kitchener stitch from two DPNs

My instructions for grafting a seam from two DPNs: 

Hold wrong sides together. The principle is that each stitch on the needles needs a catch st and a throw off stitch. Catch sts match the stitch they go into, throw sts are the reverse and then you throw/drop the stitch from the needle.

Working from right to left if you are right handed, sew through the front needle stitch knitwise and the back needle stitch purlwise. 

Then,  * sew through the front stitch purlwise and drop it from the needle. Sew through the next front stitch knitwise and then the back stitch knitwise and throw it off. Sew through the next back needle stitch purlwise. Repeat from * until all stitches are sewn off.
