Back in April when I started this series, my plan was to link to tutorials which explain how to bind off 1,1 and 2,2 ribbing, since they are on reliable platforms, and are written so well; leaving me to tackle 3,3 and 4,4 ribbing by doing some cables and twists to get the fabrics down to a 1,1 ribbing configuration, so you could bind it off just like you would a 1\/1 ribbing (as explained on the other tutorials, since the sun has gone down and my photos came out wonky.)<\/p>\n

But then I re-read Ysolda’s article more carefully.  If you split the last row up by knitting all the knits onto a needle held to the front, and all the purls to a needle held to the back, then graft them, that is all you have to do, and it’s smoother than what I was planning.<\/em><\/p>\n

OK, new plan.  I’ll direct you to the tutorials, show how nice the other method looks compared to the cable\/twist I was planning, and we’ll call it good.<\/p>\n

First, the tutorials:<\/p>\n
