I understand all the terminoly but what exactly does it mean? Does it
mean every second row? I was also wondering how do you graft stitches?

Hi twit01,

OK... this is the explanation from a person I know at a Michael's
craft store near where I live.

Decrease in this way at each end of 2 rows, following 4th rows (do it
again at end of 4th row).  Right side means the knitting side, so
decrease the next 2 knitting side rows.

Kitchener stitch... a.k.a. grafting

=========

The kitchener stitch is a nearly invisible way to graft together your
knitting. It's often used for places where you want to minimize a
seam, such as the underarm of a sweater or the toe of a sock.
