Three-needle bind-off: Place stitches from each end of scarf on two separate needles, holding them together as you work the bind-off row. With a third needle, pick up one stitch from front needle together with one stitch from back needle and bind-off together. Repeat across row until all stitches are bound off.

Scarf

Using a provisional or crochet cast-on (so stitches on first row can be released later and bound-off together with final row), cast on 30 sts.

Work in garter stitch (knit every row) until scarf measures approx. 38". Leave last row of stitches on needle. Place beginning row of stitches on second needle by removing provisional or crochet cast-on. Before seaming, give one end of scarf a half-twist, then join cast-on row to final row (see drawing) by using the 3-needle bind off method (above). Fasten off and weave in ends.
