After you have completed a piece of knitting, one of the last steps is to finish the edge by binding off the stitches. This way you can remove the knitting needles without the work unravelling.\u00a0 There are several bind off methods, but we will start with the simplest: a basic knit bind-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are you new to knitting?<\/strong>\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/tincanknits\/emails\" target=\"_blank\">Join our email community!<\/a> We\u2019ll let you know when new patterns or tutorials are released and share our helpful tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 easy steps to bind off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Knit 1 stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knit another stitch.

This is 1 stitch bound off. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continue working steps 2-3 until all only 1 stitch remains on the right hand needle. Break the working yarn, leaving a tail to be woven in later, and draw the tail through the final stitch, then pull tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tincanknits.com\/images\/SC-tut-bindoff-01.jpg?resize=600%2C338\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tincanknits.com\/images\/SC-tut-bindoff-02.jpg?w=1165\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tincanknits.com\/images\/SC-tut-bindoff-03.jpg?w=1165\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tincanknits.com\/images\/SC-tut-bindoff-04.jpg?w=1165\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bind off video: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1165\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QKrqY2yAovg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s next? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve bound off you will need to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.tincanknits.com\/2013\/06\/14\/weaving-in-ends\/\" target=\"_blank\">weave in your ends<\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tincanknits.com\/2013\/06\/14\/blocking-basics\/\" target=\"_blank\">block your finished knit<\/a>. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tincanknits.com\/category\/techniques\/finishing-and-knit-care\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for more tutorials on finishing and knit care click here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tutorial covers the basic knit bind off, but you might want to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tincanknits.com\/tag\/bind-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more bind off options here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Great simple knits from Tin Can Knits:<\/h2>\n\n\n<!-- wp:themify-builder\/canvas \/-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After you have completed a piece of knitting the edge must be finished so the whole thing doesn&#8217;t unravel.
