How to cast off in rib

In this DROPS video we show how to cast off in rib.

When there is a rib edge we usually say in the pattern to cast off in rib. It may be a single ribbing K1/P1, or double K2/P2, this last is what we are showing in this video. First we show the continental style and towards the end off the row we switch to US style.
K the K sts, and P the P sts as you bind off by passing next to last st knitted over the last st knitted.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Hola Ascensión. Tu pregunta no esta relacionada con ningún patrón en concreto sino con el video y no me es posible saber de que capa se trata.

How to bind off an elastic edge with yarn over

In this DROPS video we show one way to bind off with yarn over so that you get an elastic edge. We show both how we bind off over knit stitch and purl stitch. Knit the 1st stitch, make a yarn over, but an opposite yarn over (from back to front), knit the next stitch = 2 stitches + 1 yarn over on the right needle. With the left needle lift the yarn over and the 1st worked stitch over the last stitch = 1 stitch on the right needle. The next stitch is a purl stitch and work as follows: Make an ordinary yarn over, purl 1. Lift the yarn over and the 1st worked stitch over the last stitch = 1 stitch on the right needle. Make a new ordinary yarn over, purl 1. Lift the yarn over and the 1st worked stitch over the last stitch = 1 stitch on the right needle. Repeat the description above the entire row, with opposite yarn over when knitting and ordinary yarn over when purling. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.

How to bind off from the right side (RS)

In this DROPS video we show how you can bind off your work from the right side. You bind off to lock stitches that no longer will be worked to stop them from running. You also bind off stitches to shape arm holes, neck and shoulders. The bind off should neither be too firm or too hard, e.g. you need to be able to get the sweater over your head. To prevent binding off to firm you can use a larger needle then what you have used during your knitting. Binding off with knit stitches, you knit the stitches and then keep passing the next to last knitted stitch over the last knitted stitch. When 1 stitch remains, cut the thread, and pull yarn through last stitch. You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

How to increase 2 stitches to 4 stitches – back and forth

In this DROPS video we show how to increase 2 stitches to 4 stitches. We show the increases twice and how the increases stitches are worked in the next row. Knit 2 together but do not slip the stitches from the left needle, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 through the back loop of each of the same 2 stitches on the left needle, then slip the stitches off the left needle = 2 stitches have become 4 stitches (yarn over is purled twisted on next row to avoid a hole). We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. This technique is used in several patterns - you can find patterns by clicking on the pictures below:
