Wikipedia

  1. bind off

    In knitting, binding off, or casting off, is a family of techniques for ending a column (a wale) of stitches. Binding off is typically used to define the final (usually upper, taking the cast on edge as the lower) edge of a knitted fabric, although it may also be used in other contexts, e.g., in making button holes. In principle, binding off is the opposite of casting on, but the techniques are generally not mirror images of one another. Sometimes, however, they can produce a mirror image appearance.

  1. bind off

    Bind off, also known as casting off, is a knitting term referring to the method of closing off the stitches in a completed knitting project to remove them from the knitting needles securely, so the project will not unravel. This involves manipulating the yarn in a way that each stitch passes over the next to create a finished edge.
