You NEVER EVER make knots in knitting. It’s a super big rule.

How is Bind off different from Cast off? I am making a pidge scarf and the pattern gives both these directions. Please demonstrate. Will be very helpful. Thanks

i already know how to cast off but i wanted to know if i was doing anything thing wrong because i lost a knitting book that i have, so i watched your video, it turns out im not but why dont you just use the the other needle to bring the the stitch over instead of your hand? however your video was great!
