This is a great beginner way to cast on stitches.
- Begin your Cast Off row by knitting two stitches.
- Take the point of your Left Knitting Needle and lift the first stitch up and over the second stitch, then off the end of the Right Needle. You have now cast off one stitch.
- Next, knit the next stitch in your row and repeat the bind-off process detailed above.
- Continue knitting one stitch, then binding it off until only one stitch remains.
- Once you have just one stitch remaining on your needle, cut your yarn. Make sure your yarn tail is at least 3 inches long, or longer, so you have enough to thread through your tapestry needle.
- Carefully remove your knitting needlefrom the last stitch.
- With your tapestry needle, you will pull the yarn tail through your last stitch. This last little step is called “Finishing Off.”
