Video: Braided Rib Bind-Off


Characteristics: decorative, firm, flat
Difficulty: Easy

This is a very easy bind-off.

It's fast and firm and it does not roll, especially if you block it.

The thick braid gives it a simple but decorative look. It would be really nice on the edge of something like a potholder or a dishcloth where you don't need a stretchy edge and you’d prefer the bind-off to lay flat.

Extra Materials Needed: Extra strand of yarn about 3x the width of the stitches to be bound off

Instructions

  1. Hold a second strand of yarn with your working yarn. Leave a 6-inch tail hanging down.
  2. P1.
  3. P1.
  4. BO 1.
  5. Repeat steps 3-4 across.
  6. Cut yarn and pull through last st.
