Three-needle bind-off. Turn pieces inside out and place live stitches on 2 parallel needles. Then knit 2 stitches together, one from each of the parallel needles. Knit another 2 stitches together, one from each needle. You now have 2 stitches on your right needle; use your left needle to pull the first stitch over the second and off the needle (one stitch bound off). Continue binding off in this manner (k2tog, bind off 1).
