    How to bind off from the right side (RS)


    In this DROPS video we show how you can bind off your work from the right side.

    You bind off to lock stitches that no longer will be worked to stop them from running. You also bind off stitches to shape arm holes, neck and shoulders. The bind off should neither be too firm or too hard, e.g. you need to be able to get the sweater over your head.
    To prevent binding off to firm you can use a larger needle then what you have used during your knitting.
    Binding off with knit stitches, you knit the stitches and then keep passing the next to last knitted stitch over the last knitted stitch. When 1 stitch remains, cut the thread, and pull yarn through last stitch.
