How to cast off

For Katy. Follow the stitch pattern that you are using. If doing ribbing, continue in knit -purl pattern. Knit two stitches. (Or knit - purl, or whatever your pattern is). Put the left needle into the first stitch you knit, left to right, and pull it off the needle, over the second stitch. You now have one stitch left. Knit one more, and repeat the process. Continue until there is only one stitch remaining. Cut the yarn, leaving a 4 to 6 inch tail, and pull the tail through the remaining loop.
