How to Bind off Items Knitted in the Round

Binding off with circular knitting is the same as knitting bind-offs in straight knitting.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Knitting that's already on the needles (circular needles that is)
• Yarn

1. There are many, many types of bind-offs that can be applied here- but we're just gonna stick with the normal, simple everyday bind-off. Knit the first stitch.
2. You can use any bind-off technique at this point Knit the second stitch and drop the first stitch over the second with the left needle.
3. Repeat until you get to the last stich. Before you you pull the yarn end through the last loop, loop it under the first stitch in the round- this connects them, but it is not essential. Now you pull the yarn end through the last loop and weave in your ends as usual! Viola!

Tips & Warnings

• Look online at different bind-off techniques, because they're so many- each serves a particular purpose.
• This is just a general bind-off technique-probably the most commonly used.
• Knitting can be very addictive ;)
