Three-Needle Bind-Off

Place the stitches to be joined onto two separate needles. Hold them with the right sides of the knitting facing together and the wrong sides facing out (Figure 1). Insert a third needle into the first stitch on each of the other two needles and knit them together (Figure 2). *Knit the next stitch on each needle together in the same way—two stitches are on the right needle. Pass the second stitch on the right needle over the first stitch (Figure 3). Repeat from * until no stitches remain on the first two needles. Fasten off the last stitch.

Three-Needle Bind-Off (Ridge Version)

Place the stitches to be joined onto two separate needles. Hold the needles parallel with the wrong sides of the knitting facing together and the right sides facing out (Figure 1). Work as for regular three-needle bind-off as follows: Insert a third needle into the first stitch on each of the other two needles and knit them together. *Knit the next stitch on each needle the same way. Pass the second stitch from the tip of the right needle over the first stitch. Repeat from the * until one stitch remains on the third needle (and the other two needles are empty). Cut the yarn and pull the tail through the last stitch. The ridge will appear on the right side of the work (Figure 2).
