How to Knit – Binding Off

Posted on July 9th, 2009 by admin

This video will show you how to bind off your knitting project. Follow along and see how easy it is to actually do! Anyone can learn to knit and it’s a great craft to know if you want to give handmade gifts!

Question: What if you were doing a rib knit? or a seed stitch? Or a stockinette stitch? How would you bind that off?

Answer: I continue to knit the stitches just as I would have if I were knitting another row. I simply bind them off (slip one over the other, as described in this video) rather than keep them on the needle.
