Finessed Three-Needle Bind Off // Technique Tuesday

This video demonstrates two alternative methods of joining stitches while working the three-needle bind off (3NBO) that are different than the standard method. One method produces a ridge on the knit side of stockinette that mirrors the ridge produced by the standard method. The other produces a ridgeless BO chain that lies flat on the surface of the fabric, regardless of the fabric's stitch pattern.
