Thanks, Staci. Your videos prove that the ins and outs of all kinds of needlework need to be taught visually, not just text and drawings.

Just what I was looking for! I've always gotten a bit confused when binding off and knitting in the same row. It makes so much sense now when you said you have to knit 2 at the beginning to bind of just one stitch. You did a wonderful job of showing and explaining something that seems like it should be so simple, but yet a bit confusing at the same time. Thanks so much!

What a great video to explain what otherwise could be very confusing. I love the markers if for no other reason but to clearly visualize what actually is happening. Thank you Staci

I used to make this mistake all the time, where I would only knit the first stitch then start binding off, my count would always end up wrong and I'd get so frustrated! Can't recall where I learnt that I needed to knit two but the marker idea is great to help with the start point! Great video!!

I'm so thankful to find your videos. I am new to knitting and I'm finding I can do this with your video help. Thank you for such thorough explanations so that even a newby like myself can understand.

OMGosh, I have been knitting for a while and for the life of me couldn’t figure out the middle of row bind off. Thank you soo much.

Hurray!!! My mystery is solved, thank you Staci! :D I'd been struggling with a small Christmas stocking in which immediately after casting on, you bind off 10 stitches to create the loop/hanger. I was driving myself nuts because I was always coming up with the wrong count *after* knitting the first round of ribbing. "Helloooo, *think* McFly!", after binding off the correct amount of stitches, I was forgetting to transfer the last loop from the right needle to the left needle! Problem solved. Thanks again! :)

Thank you so much for this video. I had to do a middle of the row bind off on a baby hat pattern last year. After several tries it got tossed across the room chopped up and tossed. Yup I was beyond frustrated. So here you are with this video so I'll try it again. I'll start it with a positive attitude. 😉

Your videos are exactly what I need when I question how to do something in knitting. Thank you for making excellent videos!

I always go to your videos when I have a knitting question, you are so concise. Thanks!

Loved this video! Im a beginner and this is exactly the perfect tutorial for the sweater im working on ❤

thank you so much this actually helps with bag designs too since some use bind off then cast on the next row to make handles instead of trying to sew straps on latter.

you are the best instructor.. I do crochet and finding your knitting video's made me want to try. ty so much for your great tutorials.

I'm not normally a nail polish girl, but I do love this color you've got on today!

Many thanks for yet another clear and concise video!

Great explanation! I wish I had this 8 years ago. I almost melted brain trying to figure this out back then. hahaha. Thanks.

I am so upset…I have read in many You Tube comments that Staci passed away. I was heart broken…..now I realize that was so not true. So happy that she is well….love her tutorials..she is the best. ❤️

Where did you see these KZread comments? That is nonsense, I'm fine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You always have exactly the answers I need.

Thank you - so easy to follow. I have been struggling with an extra needle which is what the pattern said to do.

Generally, yours are the only videos on knitting I ever need or want - always clear and well done! But what I desperately need is a video on the alternating, sloped bind off, of the two shoulder sides of the garment; I have found NOTHING out there that can explain this comprehensively (in the pattern I am using I am also having to continue a cable pattern with rows of different cables! I am close to losing my mind : ) Help!

Sorry you're having trouble...I have a video on the sloped BO, but your situation sounds specific to your pattern. I'm sorry it isn't spelled out clearly in the pattern itself, you may want to contact the pattern designer for clarification. Good designers get back to you quickly with answers to your questions. :)

Perfect explanation, it's all clear to me now. Thanks!

Thank you so much!!! I have one stitch left, and I was freaking out!!

You are awesome and always have the lesson that I need. Thank you.

This is very clear and helpful 🙏🏻👍🏻

I was wondering how to bind off the neck and keep the knitting stitches of both shoulders... So thanks for your video!!!

May I ask, do you have a tutorial on how to bind off on both ends at the same row? Thank you?

I am watching this in 2021 and you have exactly answered my question!! Thank you so much!

You're welcome...the techniques I demonstrate never get old! :)

I would love to see a video on the after-thought heel. :)

The explanation why to bind off in the middle was exactly why I needed this, my pattern reads right and left sides , row 25-27k then 28 bind off, then do middle section 10 more rows, It is baby booties. I’ve never seen a pattern like this so not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

This was super helpful! Thanks :D

would you attach a new yarn on the right side to continue knitting on both sides? hoping I'm not the only one wondering. thanks in advance

+Diana Baires - if you're following a pattern that has you bind-off in the middle of a row, the pattern should be specific about reattaching the yarn...but the basic answer is yes. You'll finish the knitting on one side of the bind-off (where your working yarn is attached), then reattach the yarn on the other side to complete that side. The pattern should be specific about whether you're attaching to the right-side or the wrong-side to complete the second half, because that will make a difference, especially if there is shaping involved.

@@verypinkknits Thank you so much for that answer ! I was knitting a DROPS pattern and the instruction did not say ANYTHING about this. It just said bind of 24 center and knit until 74 cm. Left me puzzled. But hey, it's not new that DROPS pattern aren't clear :P

Does this work the same way when you r binding off at the beginning of a row and knitting the remaining row? Thank you.

Can you make a video explaining in simple terms how to knit a round neck that doesn't have a ribbed edge sewn on afterwards? BR

Do you have a video that takes up where you left off here? I am knitting my first cardigan sweater and am almost to the point on the back where i will need to start knitting the shoulders and binding off the back neckline. I'm not sure how to do that. This video was very helpful but I'm wondering how you get from that left shoulder and back to the right shoulder? I've tried to find a video explaining this but haven't had a lot of success there. Your videos are wonderful and so clear, especially for brand new knitters. Thank you for offering all these tips. They're so helpful!

After you BO the back neckline and knit one side of the shoulder, you have to reattach the yarn to the other side to knit the other shoulder. As you've noticed, there is no working yarn attached to the second shoulder, so you just pick up the yarn and start working with it to finish the other side.

If I am binding off in pattern, and the pattern calls for a yarn over - do I eliminate and ignore the yo, (and count that stitch as bound off?)

How do i bind off in middle with 2 skeins of wool

Hi from Australia, I often come here for tips! Just a question - if a pattern reads, say, 'K23, co 2, K25, co2', - I understand that I have to knit two stitches before I start binding off, and that the second bind off stitch will go over the first stitch of the K25.....but when I am counting, do I then start counting AGAIN (essentially knitting twenty SIX stitches) or is that first stitch of the next worked group that the second bind off stitch goes over actually the first stitch of the 25, and I only need to count 24 more? Because I will have 'bound off two', but I THINK in doing that I have already knitted the first of the 25, is this correct and am I making sense. This is more of a 'how to read a pattern' question I think. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Staci! I was working on a pattern that asks for me to do this, and continue to knit the left side in St st. It is asking me to now go back and work in St st for the right side. How do I do this?!

I am not sure what they mean by that, I recommend contacting the pattern designer directly for help.

Hi Staci, Just wondering if you can help. I need to decrease (bind off) 2 stitches at the end of a moss stitch row. Can you help me with this please. Thanks Kim

If you need to bind-off and it is not the end of your project (like you have more rows to knit), bind-off the two stitches at the *beginning* of the next row (not the end of a row) so that your working yarn is in the right position to keep knitting. If this is confusing, I suggest contacting the pattern designer directly - what I've given you is general advice, but the designer for the pattern you're following will be able to help you with specific advice on his/her design.

Question: Do you ever use a knitting machine? If so, can we see some helpful hints around that? Thanks.

What do you do on the next row following the center bind off?

+Dolores Ungerleider - the pattern you're following should give specific instructions, but generally, when you're binding off for a neck opening, the two sides of the shoulder are then worked separately.

My pattern says bind off two stitches on each side. What the hell does that mean ? 😬

When I read that, it means to bind off two stitches at each edge. But if you are unsure, you'll need to contact the pattern designer directly for clarity - Ravelry message is usually a good way to reach designers.
