Easy double-bed Passap cast off

I found this in Carmen Reuter's notes, and Sheila West very kindly posted a video of this on Facebook. I thought it was worth sharing because it's really easy to do. No more casting off by hand for me!

First, transfer all the stitches to the back bed, and knit 1 row right to left at ss 8/8

Drop the front bed. Using the yellow latch tool, pick up the first loop on the right and put it behind the latch. Pick up the new loop from the front bed, and pull it through.

Continue in this manner across the whole bed, until all stitches are cast off. Pull the last loop through and take off the machine.

It's worth practicing this on a swatch - I went straight in there and did it on black yarn for my first time, nothing like going straight for the deep end!

Current mood: working
