To simplify: knit off the knit stitches and purl off the purl stitches of your 1X1 rib. If you knit off a knit st, then purl into the next knit st from the front. If you purl off a purl st, then knit into the next purl st from the back. Once I realized this, I stopped getting mixed up whether I was supposed purl off and knit on or knit off and purl on, especially if I set my work down and picked it up again. The videography of this video is so superior to others that I watched. So easy to see what you are doing. Thank you.

Thanks so much! You can use this technique for 2x2 ribbing but you'll need to rearrange your stitches first - here's a tutorial by @dreareneeknits that explains how! kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJ1r07Gnf8qnlJM.html

Great video. Does this technique also work for bind off in the round? I noticed you had used it for cuffs. I need to use it on a hem in the round.

@BrooklynTweed_Official

Thanks for watching! This technique is great for binding off in the round - you'll have a long length of yarn to wrangle for a sweater hem, but just go slowly and you'll end up with a gorgeous hem. :)

How do you do this bind off if you have twisted rib?

@BrooklynTweed_Official

3 ай бұрын

Great question! Our pattern experience manager Mary (who filmed this tutorial) says, "In twisted rib you're twisting the stitches as you work them normally so you wouldn't have to deal with differently mounted stitches, I wouldn't recommend twisting the stitches being bound off." Happy knitting!

I love the finished look of this and will try it on socks. However, I was looking for a clean-looking bind off for the ribbing of a sweater and cannot imagine doing this across so many stitches. Do you have any tips on dealing with yards of yarn while doing this?

Great video…. But how does one leave “enough “ yarn on tapestry needle to allow for 190 stitches on hem? I have tried multiple times to finish my hem but the huge Looooong tail trying to go through is so hard. I see your video on short amounts of cast-ons but no explanations out there to help with this question. Do you have any advice? My yarn ( ridiculous ly long keeps getting hung up on needles-and my tension is off whilst doing this. I see on many of my u-tube channel knitters doing this BOhowever no videos on how to do this with “many stitches on hem). Help please. And thank you. ( using Shelter BTW).

@maevemcintyre6817

you could possibly use a shorter tail, then join more yarn on when the tail becomes too short (ie. you could use the method where you felt the new length of yarn onto the old one!

Hello! Yes, totally agree with @maevemcintyre6817 - with Shelter you could easily use a shorter length and spit splice as needed, because there is a LOT of yarn to pull through on a sweater hem!

Can this be done for a 2x1 rib?

@BrooklynTweed_Official

Ай бұрын

Hello! Did some digging and found a tutorial from 2009 where someone increased their 2x1 rib to a 2x2 rib before working the tubular bind off: shadowdancer.typepad.com/blog/2009/07/a-tutorial-stretchy-sock-cuffs.html

Any suggestions on how to do this in the round when you come to the last stitch?

@BrooklynTweed_Official

11 ай бұрын

For your last stitch, you'll bring your tapestry needle through the stitch on the needle as if to purl, then drop the stitch off the needle. Pull the yarn through - you can pass the yarn tail through your first stitch in the round and then weave in your end to join the beginning and end of round together neatly. Happy knitting!

You are not stupid, @zoewoodcock747 This is a confusing and complicated bind off, but you can do it. After a few goes, you will get your rhythm. It helps to remember the knit off-purl on, purl off-knit on phrase she mentions here. Also, notice that on the second stitch you are inserting the needle purlwise into a purl stitch and knitwise into a knit stitch. You got this, my friend ❤

I feel the same as you. I have now used this bind off method on at least three garments and each time I have to go back to the video to re-learn it. Slowing the speed down also helps. Imagine the type of brain that dreamt up this form of binding off😳. But it works and looks good.
