Then knit one row.
To bind off, slip 1st stitch to other needle, knit the 2nd stitch.
Slip 1st stitch over the 2nd and remove from the needle
Knit next stitch, then slip it over the other stitch and remove it from the needle

Using a darning or embroidery needle, weave the loose ends into the cloth splitting stitches as you go.
