Stitchopedia Video & Photo Tutorial
Bind Off Purl Wise is simply the same as the Bind Off Knit Wise, but using purls in place of the knits. It’s a little fiddly at first, but still pretty easy. I don’t use this bind off too often, however it’s good to know for when it’s needed. Here are photos, instructions, and a video to help you learn how to bind off purl wise.

Stitches and Abbreviations:

If you are left handed, reverse the left and right in this tutorial.
To begin the bind off purl wise, first purl the first two sts loosely.
Insert the left needle in the farthest st on the right needle.
Lift that st up and over the other st on the right needle, removing the st from the needle.
Lift that st up and over the other st on the right needle, removing the st from the needle.
Purl next st loosely.
Insert the left needle in the farthest st on the right needle and lift it up and over the other st and then off the needle.
Continue in this manner, purling one st then removing the previous, until all sts are bound off the left needle and there is one last st on the right needle.
Be sure to bind off loosely so your knitting still has stretch.
Pull last st up high, cut yarn leaving a 6-8″ tail, and remove needle. Thread the end of the yarn through the loop.
Give the yarn end a tug to fasten off then weave in end.
