Bind-off / Cast-off
Bind-off (or cast-off) is the final step in your knitting project, securing the active stitches and taking them off the needle to prevent unraveling.
Explanation
Bind-off (or cast-off) is the process of finishing your knitting by taking the stitches off the needle in a controlled way. The most common method involves knitting two stitches, pulling the first over the second, knitting another stitch, and repeating. This creates an edge that holds the stitches in place. There are many bind-off methods: standard bind-off, Italian bind-off (for an elastic edge), and three-needle bind-off (for joining two pieces).
