Knitwise Bind Off
Jen LucasDescription
In this short video clip, learn how to do the basic knitwise bind off. Follow these steps to work this knitwise basic bind off:
1. Knit 2 stitches (2 stitches on right needle)
2. Insert the left needle into the first stitch (the right-most stitch) on the right needle
3. Pass the first stitch over the second stitch (1 stitch remains on right needle)
4. Knit 1 stitch (2 stitches on right needle)
Repeat steps 2 – 4, ending with step 3 with one stitch remaining on the right needle. Cut the yarn, leaving an approximately 6-inch tail. Fasten off by pulling the yarn through the final loop.
Let's take a look at how to do a knitwise bind off. To do this bind off, we're simply going to knit two stitches. And once we have two stitches on the right needle, we're going to pass the first stitch over the second stitch to bind off one stitch. Then you're just gonna continue by knitting a stitch, passing the first over the second, knitting a stitch, passing the first over the second. You would just continue in this manner until you have one stitch remaining.
And at that point, you can cut your yarn and draw your tail through that final loop, and you've completed the knitwise bind off.
