How to knit binding off in pattern. For this tutorial you will need a set of knitting needles and a ball of yarn. Step 1. Knit your first stitch as normal. Then depending on what your next stitch is, you are going to knit or purl that stitch the way that it is. We are going to be following the pattern. Here we have a 1 by 1 rib. We knit one and then purl one. For this one I will bring the yarn in front and purl one. Say you had a 2 by 2 rib where it was knit, knit, purl, purl. Then you would knit the second stitch and purl the stitches that were purl. We will bring the yarn in back for step 3. You are going to slip the first stitch over the second stitch. Just like that. Step 4. Step 5. Slip the first stitch over the second stitch. Step 6. purl one. Bring the yarn in the back. Step 7. Slip the second stitch over the first stitch. Okay. We will continue repeating steps 4 through 7. You are going to be knitting or purling based on what stitches done the row before. Then you will do that and you have one stitch left on your needle. When you have one stitch left on your needle, you are going to want to break or cut your yarn. Then you are just going to pull that stitch right through the hole and tighten it down.
