How to Bind Off

     Binding off (abbreviated BO--awesome right?), is almost exactly the same as decreasing. The only difference is you don't slip the stitch, you knit it (or purl, depending on what side of the work you're binding off).

     Knit the first stitch on your left-hand needle. Do the same with the second stitch.


     Both of the stitches are now on your right-hand needle.


     Pull the bottom stitch over the top stitch (you should only have one stitch now).


     Repeat (until the end of the row) with one minor change: only knit one stitch onto the right-hand needle before pulling the bottom stitch over the top stitch.
