Two-needle bind off 
Always use this technique when working with chunky and bulky yarns to reduce thickness of the seam



  • Place both parts with right side inside
  • Insert crochet hook or needle into first stitches of both parts
  • Draw the yarn through both stitches (knit these stitches together)
  • You have one stitch on the hook or right hand needle
  • Insert crochet hook or needle into next stitches of both parts
  • Repeat last three steps until only stitch left on the hook or right hand needle
  • Cut off the yarn and pull through last stitch
