Any loom knit project on a
round or single rake loom
Yarn pick

A couple of notes to start:
This bind-off method is a method I came up with while designing my
Classic Mary Jane’s slipper pattern. The pattern required a bind off
on the strap which would be very visible at all times, since it’s on the
top of the foot, and I didn’t want an ugly loose bind-off edge. This
method is modeled after the needle knit bind off that is generally
much less noticeable then the crochet bind off that is typically used in
loom knit projects.
I hope you enjoy it!

Instructions:
These instructions start just before you are ready to bind-off. The
pictures show a bind-off done on a Knifty Knitter II long loom that I’m
only using one row of pegs. This bind-off works on any single rake
loom.
Step 1
Step 1:
Here’s the knitting all ready to
bind-off. I’m only using 8 pegs
for demonstration purposes.
Step 2
Step 2:
Start by doing a knit stitch in the
first peg. I happen to be moving
right to left – but this method
works from either direction.
After doing the knit stitch, pull a
little larger then normal loop
through the loop on the peg.
Hold onto this loop with you
fingers.

Step 3
Step 3:
While holding onto the large loop
with your fingers, lift the loop that
is on the first peg off the peg.
Step 4
Step 4:
Now place the loop that you are
holding on to the next adjacent
peg – in this case it’s the next
peg to the left.
Tug the working yarn slightly, but
don’t tighten too much. The goal
here is to keep it loose!
