Binding off in pattern is a nice, tidy way to bind off a stitch pattern like a rib, or another pattern which uses both knits and purls each row. Instead of knitting all of the stitches before binding them off as you would in a knit bind-off, you will work the stitches in pattern as you bind them off. This video is an example of binding off in pattern using 2x2 rib
