Bind-Offs for Shawls
Whether your knitting a lacy neckpiece for spring or heavy-wrap for winter, it’s good to have a few bind-offs in your skill arsenal to bring your project to finishing success. This week on Ask Me Monday I show 3 great bind-offs for shawls and shawlettes: the Yarn-Over Bund-Off, Stretchy K2tog tbl Bind-Off, and the Picot Bind-off. Let’s get to it!

Step 2: Insert right-hand needle, from left to right, into the stitch on the left-hand needle; YO; lift the stitch over the YO and let it drop off of the needle.
Step 3: K1, slip 2nd stitch on right-hand needle over the 1st one, and let it drop off.
Repeat Steps 2-3 until all sts are bound off.
