Binding off on the Double Bed

Hi ,

The Goal of this challenge

Most knitters will avoid binding (or casting off) when knitting with the ribber. The results are often not the best.

For example, knitting a sleeve from the top down and adding ribbing for the cuff creates the dilemma of how to finish that ribbing.

Here are 2 ribber bind off methods for you to try plus a work-around that may appeal to you.

With a little planning and practice you CAN end your knitting with a bind off edge
In this challenge you will knit at least 3 swatches. Each exercise will use different skills that may be new to you.

  • Easy Ribber Bind Off

  • Kitchener Bind Off

  • Kitchener Work-Around

If you plan to do more than welts and cuffs on the ribber it's essential that you discover a bind off method that works for you.
