We already know how to cast on, knit and purl stitches using the Eastern (previously called Russian) knitting style. Now, let’s see how we can bind off stitches when the knitted piece is finished.
Like most techniques in Eastern knitting, binding off stitches is a very simple process. There are only two steps and they are so easy that even absolute beginners will feel confident repeating them. No struggling with the needles when we pass one stitch over the other!
This technique forms a bind off edge that looks exactly like an edge formed by the regular bind off in classic knitting, but the process of binding off stitches is so much easier in Eastern knitting.
You’ll see for yourself when you watch this video tutorial.
To learn all ins and outs of Eastern (Russian) knitting, consider taking a self-paced online course “Eastern (Russian) Knitting Simplified”
Like most methods used in the Eastern knitting style, the process of binding off stitches is distilled to the bare minimum of steps to help us finish our projects in the most efficient way.
