If you are talking about labelled graphs (distinguishable vertices) then the fact that these are graphs is irrelevant. 

So you are really asking if there is a Hamilton path through all the subsets$k$-subsets of an arbitrary $\binom{N}{2}$ set where each move adds or removes an elementtwo sets are adjacent if their symmetric difference has size two.

This is just aThese are many such Hamilton path in the $\binom{N}{2}$-cube which certainly exists and is wellpaths, even Hamilton cycles, known under the general term "combinatorial Gray code".

Look up “Gray code” for detailsCarla Savage's survey of combinatorial Gray codes.
