Instructions
CASTING OFF PURLWISE
For all purl stitches, cast off purlwise:
- Bring your yarn to the front and purl the first purl stitch, then pass the first stitch over that second.
- For the next purl stitch, cast off purlwise again.
- With your yarn in the front, purl the stitch then pass the first stitch over that second.
_____
CONTINUE CASTING OFF
- Once you have just one stitch remaining on your needle, cut your yarn.
- Make sure your yarn tail is at least 3 inches long, or longer, so you have enough to thread through your tapestry needle.
- Carefully remove your knitting needle from the last stitch.
- With your Tapestry Needle, you will pull the yarn tail through your last stitch. This last step is called “Finishing Off.”
Notes
Pro-Tip: Cast Off your stitches somewhat loosely so that your edge is not too tight. You may use a larger knitting needle to bind off, if desired.
