In a purled row, the stitches we have on our needle are purled as well. We are going to cast off the stitches in the same way: purling them. Purl 2 stitches, pass the second stitch onto the right-hand needle over the first letting it fall off the needle. You will have cast off one stitch.
Should you cast off Knitwise or Purlwise?
If your pattern tells you to bind off knitwise that means that you should use the knit stitch as you work the last row at the same time you finish off your knitting. The same applies if the pattern says purlwise, then you work the last row with purl stitches.
How do you cast off 3 stitches at the beginning of a row?
Turn your work. Bring the yarn to the front of the work. Slip one stitch from the left needle to the right needle and pass the unworked stitch over the slipped stitch. Then bind off two more stitches to get three bound off stitches in total.
