Summary:
Binding Off in Pattern: When knitting, "binding off in pattern" means continuing the established pattern (e.g., ribbing) while binding off, rather than simply knitting all stitches.
Technique: After working two stitches in the ongoing pattern onto your right hand needle, make the first stitch "jump" (or "leapfrog") over the second stitch. This effectively binds off one stitch.
Maintaining Tension: It's important not to pull the yarn too tight after binding off each stitch. This ensures that the bound-off edge maintains the same tension and gauge as the rest of the work, preventing puckering or flaring.
Finishing Touches: At the end of the row, cut the yarn and give it a gentle tug. This can be weaved in for a clean finish. As a tip, attaching a pom-pom to your scissors can help in not losing them.
Versatility: The technique is demonstrated with a one by one ribbing pattern, but it's applicable to other patterns like two by two rib, three by one rib, or any other knitting pattern.
