We love the Three-Needle Bind-off as a no-sew solution to joining two pieces of knitting together. It's our go-to technique for shoulder seams and all sorts of modular constructions. We usually work the Three-Needle Bind-off on the wrong side of our knitting, because it creates a big ridge. The Flat Three-Needle Bind-off is a refinement of this technique that eliminates the ridge, leaving us with a nice, flat chain worthy of being used as a decorative detail.
