binding off

Closing knitted edge

Binding off is a knitting technique that secures stitches so they won't unravel when you remove the needle from your work.

It creates a finished edge at the end of a piece or closes off a section mid-project: I'm binding off the neckline now.

Also called casting off, especially in British usage.
