]]> 9947 1 28 Tip If your project was knitted with purl stitches, continue knitting with the purl stitch to cast off.

]]> 9948 2 34 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/410/34.jpg Knit second stitch Knit the second stitch, just like you were continuing another row. Now STOP; this is where the cast off – or “bind off” – happens.

]]> 9949 3 44 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/410/44.jpg Insert needle Insert your left needle into the first stitch—the one on the bottom of your right needle.

]]> 9950 4 54 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/410/54.jpg Leap frog stitch Your needles, with the left one on top, are now making an “X” held together by a loop of yarn. Slide the loop up and over the tip of the right needle, so it “leap frogs” the second stitch.

]]> 9951 5 65 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/410/65.jpg Withdraw left needle Withdraw the left needle from that stitch. Now there’s one stitch left on your right needle.

]]> 9952 6 72 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/410/72.jpg Knit another stitch Knit another stitch so that once again there are two stitches on your right needle.

]]> 9953 7 79 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/410/79.jpg Repeats steps Repeat Steps 2 through 4 until you have cast off all stitches. Only 1 stitch should remains on your right hand needle.

]]> 9954 8 88 Tip Remember, you’re repeating a pattern where you have 2 regular knit stitches on your right needle, you get rid of 1, replace it with another, get rid of 1, replace it with another, and so on. 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1. . .

]]> 9955 9 102 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/410/102.jpg Cut off yarn Cut off the yarn, leaving about 6 inches extra.

]]> 9956 10 107 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/410/107.jpg Knot & slide out needle Pull the right end through the loop remaining on the needle, tighten it against the needle, then slide the needle out. Push the knot tightly against the completed project.

]]> 9957 11 121 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/410/121.jpg Use yarn needle Use a yarn needle to weave the loose yarn into the edge stitches, cut off any excess, and you’re done!

]]> 9958 12 131 Fact The world record for speed knitting by hand is 118 stitches per minute—a home knitting machine averages 600 to 1200 stitches per minute.
