To cast off you will be doing one last row at the same time.
|
Step 1.
Knit two stitches onto your right needle.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Step 2.
With your fingers, take hold of the first stitch or "loop" that you made and lift it up and over the second stitch or "loop" and off of the needle completely.
|
Step 3.
Knit one more stitch onto your right needle so that there are two stitches or "loops" on the right needle again.

Continue
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you have only one "loop" left on the right needle.
|
Finish
Slide the last "loop" off of the needle, cut the end of the yarn about 1 inch from the loop. Then insert the 1 inch end of the yarn through the last "loop" and pull to tighten. Trim the yarn end as desired.
