Three-Needle Bind Off (3NBO) Basics // Technique Tuesday

This video demonstrates how to do the basic three-needle bind off (3NBO), in order to produce a horizontal seam. The 3NBO exactly matches stitch patterns at the seam line, and can be done on the RS or WS of the work, for different effects.

The demonstration is done using stockinette swatches, but examples are also shown for ribbed fabric, and as a substitute for Kitchener/grafting. Advantages/Disadvantages are discussed, and challenges that certain stitch patterns or situations can cause are also explained.
