2 Insert a third knitting needle into the first stitch on the front needle as if to
knit and then into the first stitch on the back needle as if to knit. Wrap the
working yarn around the tip of the third needle as you would to knit
normally.

Seams (continued)
3 Bring the loop through the first stitch on the back needle, just as you would
to knit, and then bring the same loop all the way through to the front of the
first stitch on the front needle as well.
You can use this method to join a seam by knitting and binding off the two sets
of stitches together. To prepare to join edges with the three-needle bind-off, you
need to put each set of stitches onto a knitting needle and have handy a third
knitting needle. If one of the sets of stitches has the working yarn still attached,
you can use that to knit the seam; otherwise, you can use a piece of the same
yarn you used to knit the pieces.
1 Hold the needles parallel, with the right sides of your knitting facing each
other, as shown.
