stitch from back needle to front needle.
6. pass first stitch over second stitch—one stitch bound off.
repeat steps 4-6 until all stitches are bound off. when you are close to end of the seam, count the stitches on both sides. if the count is different, you can knit 3 stitches together to even them up (one stitch from one side and 2 stitches from the other side).
