Question...How do you figure the amount of yarn to use on the bind off ribbing ...(sweater) ...it seems like it would be easier to keep using smaller lengths as if darning.....suggestions please.
Glad you like it! Are you working flat or in the round? If you are working in the round, you do one last sequence, those last 2 stitches are #1 , get #3 & #4 from the beginning of the round. So the very first 2 stitches of the round get treated as stitch 3 & stitch 4. Neat enough.
Working flat requires more fudging. When you are at those last 2 stitches, work #1, then go outside the edge and work an imaginary 3rd stitch, then work #2. That's all you can do.
Since you are knitting, you don't need to calculate the amount of yarn for this finished edge. Just keep working from the attached ball of yarn.

Thanks for the video! It's the only decent one I could find with sound and in English!
I always have trouble figuring out what to do at the end. What do I do when I have 2 stitches left (#1 and #2)?
