And finally... How to cast of!

Casting off is the final process you will need to learn in knitting.

  • Knit two stitches onto your right needle.
  • With your fingers, take hold of the first stitch that you made and lift it up and over the second stitch and off of the needle completely.
  • Knit one more stitch onto your right needle so that there are two stitches on the right needle again.
  • Repeat these steps until you have only one stich left on the right needle.
  • To finish, slide the last stich off of the needle, cut the end of the yarn about 1 inch from the loop. Then insert the 1 inch end of the yarn through the last loop and pull to tighten. Trim the yarn end as desired.
