Tutorial: 3-needle BO

The 3-Needle Bind Off is a finishing technique for joining two pieces of knitting that are still on the needles. It makes a very sturdy seam and is often made from the wrong side of the work.

Hold the needles parallel and with a third needle *k2tog the stitch on the front needle together with the stitch on the back needle* repeat between *-* and pass the stitch over as you would to do a regular bind off. Repeat until all stitches are bind off.

The video below shows both English and continental style.
