How to Knit - Basic Cast Off in Purl

Hello knitters! Here is a demonstration of how to end your piece of knitting on the purl side. If your fabric is stocking stitch (aka stockinette stitch) and the pattern says 'cast off (aka bind off) on the wrong side', then this is what you need to do.

This is a quick and easy cast off method and is quite tight and inflexible.

Happy knitting :-)
