length of the bind-off edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the next phase, stitches are worked in pairs. Two knit stitches are a pair and two purl stitches are a pair. When you work with the purl stitches the yarn is in the back of the work and if you work with the knit stitches the yarn is in front of the work. You work one pair at a time with the following steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The first stitch of the pair always sets the direction.<\/strong> If it&#8217;s a knit stitch you go through it knitwise and if it&#8217;s a purl stitch you go through it purlwise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drop the first stitch of the pair.<\/strong> However, the very first knit stitch and purl stitch you move to the right-hand needle instead of dropping them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go through the second stitch of the pair in the opposite direction <\/strong>meaning that if it was a knit stitch go through the second knit stitch purlwise. Note that you skip the purl stitch that is between the knit stitches. Similarly, if the first stitch is a purl stitch you go through the second purl stitch knitwise. Once again the knit stitch between the purl stitches is ignored at this stage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep on repeating the steps until there are only the two stitches you moved at the beginning remaining on the needle and drop them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weave in end and you&#8217;re finished!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step by Step Photo Tutorial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-9 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-1600x1600.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/knit-stitch-knitwise-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Go through the knit stitch knitwise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-1600x1600.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Drop-knit-stitch-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Drop the stitch you just worked.
