3-Needle Bind Off

Step 1: Position the two pieces so the right sides (or wrong sides — this will always be specified in my patterns) are facing each other, and the needles are parallel.

Step 2: Insert a crochet hook into the first stitch on the front needle, then the first stitch on the back needle at the same time.

Step 3: Wrap the yarn around the crochet hook knitwise and draw a loop through both stitches, dropping the stitches off each needle. There will be 1 stitch on the hook.

Step 4: Repeat Step 2, then wrap the yarn around the hook knitwise and draw a loop through both stitches. There will be 2 stitches on the hook.

Step 5: Pull the first stitch through the second stitch on the hook to bind off 1 stitch.

Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until all the stitches are bound off. Cut 8" [20 cm] of tail and pull the last loop through to fasten off.
