How to Cast Off

You have reached the last step in your knitting pattern. It is time to cast off. We are going to show you how right here.

Video tip! Click on “Settings” (the little gear under the video ⚙) to change the language of the subtitles. You can also adjust the speed if you need to rewatch the technique at a slower pace.

You blinked, and now you have suddenly reached the last step in your knitting pattern. It is time to finish your project. Watch how to cast off in the video above.

How to

  1. Knit two.
  2. Pull the right stitch over the left stitch so that you only have one stitch left on your right needle.
  3. Knit the next stitch and pull the right stitch over the new stitch. Repeat until you have knit all the stitches on your left needle and have one stitch left on your right needle.
  4. Break the yarn and pull the yarn tail through the last stitch.

The very last thing to do is weave in your yarn tails with a needle.
