Teach Yourself Visually Knitting

This method is just like the knit bind-off, except
you purl instead of knit. You use it to bind off
purl stitches.

1 Purl until you have 2 stitches total on the
right needle; then insert the left needle
into the front of the first stitch purled onto
the right needle.

2 Pull the first stitch over the second purled
stitch and off the right needle.
You have bound off 1 stitch purlwise, and
you have 1 stitch on the right needle.

stitches.

How to Bind Off Purlwise

FAQ

What do I do when I have bound off all stitches

and have only 1 left on the right needle?

When you are binding off all the stitches that remain

and you have only 1 stitch remaining on the right

needle, cut your working yarn, leaving a tail at least

6 inches long. Thread this tail through the last stitch

and pull tight.
