To cast off step by step you: 1. Stitch two stitches. Move the left-hand needle towards your right-hand needle. 2. Insert the left-hand needle into the opening stitch that you made using the right-hand needle. 3. Use the left needle to lift the first stitch up and move it over the second stitch. Drop the stitch from the right-hand needle. You have successfully cast off the first stitch. 4. Repeat this process until no stitches remain on the left-hand needle, and just one stitch remains on the right-hand needle. 5. Cut the yarn attached to the ball, leaving at least 6 inches on the thread. 6. Gently pull the last stitch with your hand to make it slightly bigger. Pull the loose end of the yarn all the way through this loop and take your right needle out. Tug the thread tightly, and you’re done.
