Bound Off Fringe Edging

 

Sample knit with worsted weight yarn, US 6 needles

This edging is worked lengthways.

Note that you will want to end your last repeat on Row 3 once the edging is long enough.  I use the cable cast on for Row 4, but the knitted cast on will also work.

Cast on 3

Rows 1, 2 and 3: sl, k2

Row 4: Cast on 6 sts, bind off same 6 sts.  You should have one stitch on the right needle and two on the left; k2

Repeat these 4 Rows for the pattern.


Happy Knitting!
