I am knitting a pair of longies for DD on straight needles and have no idea how they "sew" the seams together with a needle. They didnt go into details on the pattern.

Good luck!

mattress stitch is the name of what you are looking for.

It's a squared off zig zag- if you were sewing a seam from bottom to top you would go straight up- straight over- straight up on the other side- straight over... nibbling your way up one row of stitches at a time.

If you ever find a direction to "graft" stitches then you would need the kitchner stitch- that works the live knit loops at the top edge rather than the row edges.

Thank you so much! I was able to search for that stitch!
