If the working yarn is still attached, you can "tink" (knit backwards) more easily: : Locate the last slip knot or loop

Insert your needle into the loop below the one currently being held. Method 2: "Tinking" the Bind-Off (Yarn Not Cut)

: Locate the previous knit stitch (the small "V" shape) just below the bound-off edge.

Gently pull the working yarn to "pop" the bind-off stitch out, then place the newly freed live stitch back onto your left needle.
