3-Needle Bind Off is a technique which fuses two edges together with knitting instead of sewing. We use 3-Needle BO in our Renee pattern to create a drawstring hem casing, and in Helena and Leonie to join the shoulder pieces. Watch the video above for a quick demo, or find the full tutorial for How to 3-Needle Bind-off on our website.
