Learn How to Work the Three-Needle Bind-Off

Kelley shares tips on how to complete a 3 needle bind-off. This bind-off can be used to seam the top of your shoulders on a sweater or to seam two ends of a knitted flat piece together. It is often used to seam the ends of cowl together. The 3 needle bind off adds more structure to a seam than a kitchener bind-off however it leaves a bold line where you bound off.

For this reason, it is good to bind off on the inside of your work using this knitting technique.
