In this DROPS video we show how to bind off with a picot on a rib. Knit 1, * insert right needle between the next 2 stitches (not through the stitches), make 1 yarn over, pull the yarn over between the stitches and place on left needle *, work from *-* 2 more times (= 3 yarn overs on left needle), knit and cast off 7 stitches (= 1 stitch + 3 yarn overs + 3 stitches). Work from *-* and bind off 7 stitches in the same way along the whole edge. When there are not enough stitches to work another picot, bind off the remaining stitches as usual. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You’ll find patterns using this technique by clicking on the pictures below.
