Bind-off edge with picot

In this DROPS video we show you have to cast off with a picot edge. In the video we work like this: K 1, (* insert right needle in between the first 2 sts on left needle (i.e. between sts on needle, not through sts), make 1 YO on right needle, pull YO forwards between sts and slip YO on left needle *, repeat from *-* 2 more times (= 3 new sts on left needle). ** K first st on left needle, pass first st on right needle over last st worked **), repeat from **-** 5 times in total and repeat from (-) along the entire row until 1 st remains. Cut the yarn and pull it through last st. To see a pattern with a picot edge, go to: DROPS 168-14 To see a pattern with a similar picot edge, go to: DROPS 169-8

How to bind off with a picot edge on a rib

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.

How to bind off with picot

In this DROPS video we show to increase and at the same time bind off to a picot. We have already worked a rib ((knit 1 twisted/purl 1) and start the video with binding off like this: Knit 1 twisted, * insert right needle between the first 2 stitches on left needle, make 1 yarn over on right needle, pull yarn over forward between the stitches and slip yarn over on to left needle *, work from *-* 2 times in total, knit and bind off at the same time off 5 stitches (= 1st stitch on right needle + 2 yarn overs+ 2 stitches). Continue to work from *-* and bind off 5 stitches the same way along the entire bind-off edge until there are no stitches left to make a new picot. Bind off the remaining stitches. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern with this bind off technique to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern by clicking on the pictures below.
