Bind off in rib

Video thumbnail for Bind off in rib
When there is a rib edge we usually say in the pattern to bind off in rib. It may be a single ribbing K1/P1, or double K2/P2, the later is what we are showing in this video. First continental style and towards the end off 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 worked over the last st worked.

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.

Bind off the last stitch

When you bind off your knitting the very last stitch tend to get loose and ugly. In this DROPS Video we show a trick to avoid this.

Bind off with yo

To avoid the bind off edge being too tight make a yo periodically at the same time you bind off. Bind off yo as sts.

Bind/cast off from wrong side (WS)

On the wrong side you bind off the same way as from the right side, but the stitches are purled before they are passed over each other. When 1 stitch remains, cut the thread, and pull yarn through last stitch.

Bind/cast off from RS

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.

How to turn 1 strand into 3 from the same ball of yarn

In this DROPS video we how to make 3 strands out of 1 single strand from a ball of yarn. 1. Make a simple loop (like the loop worked when you begin any crochet project) and pull it to approx. 2-3 cm = ¾"-1⅛" in length. 2. Thread the strand from the skein through this loop, creating a new loop of approx. 40-50 cm = 15¾"-19¾". 3. Lay this loop alongside the working strand, so 1 strand becomes 3 strands. 4. Knit or crochet using these 3 strands until there is approx. 2 cm = ¾" left. Repeat points 2 to 4.
