Knitting made easier lesson 3: CASTING OFF

CASTING OFF OR BINDING OFF - BO

this is the final stitch in the project. To take it off your needle you need to Bind off the stitches.

Step 1:

Knit two stitches. Insert the top of the left needle into the first stitch on the right needle. Lift the stitch over the last stitch you knit and over the top of the right needle.


STEP 2:


One stitch remains on the right needle. Knit another stitch. Lift that stitch over the stitch just knit.








STEP 3:

Continue in this way until one loop remains. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of 4 or 5 inches and draw the end through the last stitch.

Knitting made easier project 1. Garter stitch hat

DEAR Ilites,

Here we Go for the first Knitting project

SKILL LEVEL: Beginner​

Materials:

Colour A : 1 Ball
Colour B : 1 Ball

Knitting Needle Sizes : 13 or 9 mm.
EYE BLUNT needle for sewing in the end or any crochet needle size 11 will do.

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

GAUGE:

14 sts and 28 rows = 6 inches [15 cm] over garter stitch (k every row) using size 13 [9 mm] needles.

NOTES:

Hats as shown feature contrasting ties; 2 balls of yarn are required. Purchasing a single ball of yarn will result in the tie being the same color as the hat.
