Italian bind off – Knit 2 / Purl 2

Keywords: circular needle, english rib, good to know, hat, kant, rib,

In this DROPS video we show how to do an Italian bind off in a piece work with Knit 2 Purl 2. Before starting the bind off, work 1 round where 2 knit - 2 purl becomes 1 knit - 1 purl. Cut yarn long enough for your bind off, approx 4 times the length of the edge you are binding off. 1) Insert the needle into the 1st stitch (knit stitch) as if to knit and slip the stitch of needle. 2) Insert needle into 2nd stitch (knit stitch) as if to purl. 3) Insert needle into 1st stitch (purl stitch) as if to purl, lift the stitch off (the thread is now at the back of the work). From the back, insert the needle between 1st and 2nd stitches. 4) From the front, insert the needle into the purl stitch (2nd stitch). Repeat from the beginning. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern where you can use this technique by clicking on the picture below.

I am not an experienced knitter. Have good tension. Ihave to ask for help when the wording doesn't make sense to me. Do you have some patterns that look difficult but actually easy. This is for new born twins. Years ago I had such a pattern on loan to me, the look of the difficult pattern was a ;raised shell; It looked impressive, but it was not hard to follow. If you could send something like that please. Thank uou. Jeannette '
