I love the second bind off. Gorgeous edge.

I have just used method 3 on a top-down sweater and it's the first time I am happy with binding off ribbing. The quality of this video is excellent: the background is clear and uncluttered, different colours are used for the different methods and the explanations are clear without being verbose. A great example of how to make an instructional video.

This is absolutely the best explanation of the Icelandic bindoff I have ever seen. Thank you!

Thank you so much! This was just what I was looking for. I used the Icelandic bind off for a project and it will now be my go to bind off.

Thank you for such nice, clear instructions! And I liked how you compared to the regular bind off. I make a lot of childrens sweaters & need a stretchier neck, I am trying the third method, because it looked the easiest to remember! 😂

Thank you!! The 2nd one was exactly what I needed and you explained it so well!

I’ve just used the middle one, Icelandic bind off, on a cotton linen neckline. It’s a beautiful finish. Thanks for an excellent video!

I love the second ( Icelandic) bing off it is refine perfect for a lace neckline. Thanks for sharing😊❤

Wonderful clear instructions and great to see the comparison of stretch between regular bind off and these methods. Thank you so much!

Excellent! Thanks for comparing the different bind offs! Well done!

I'm new to knitting and I'm making swatches learning different techniques and I found the regular bind off very stiff. These are awesome.

I applied method 2 to the baby blanket I just finished, and it looks so beautiful and is exactly what I expect to see. I have not been satisfied with the look of bind-off on my projects, I am so happy to find this tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing.

I used #3 for the bottom of a sweater, but the bottom now looks flared out. Should I have perhaps used #1 or #2 instead? Thanks!

On my garter stitch swatch .... The first and third methods made the cast-off a little too flared, and did not match the garter stitch bumps of the hem of the little top-down garter stitch cardie at all. However the second method of casting-off was perfect, it matched the garter stitch pattern really well. Thank you for these interesting and easy cast-off methods.

Great video, thanks!

Great video with clear instructions so I decided to try the third method out on the cuff of my toe up sock. While I was able to finish it, I did have to laugh at how clumsy I was compared to you. I had a hard time getting into the 2 stitches on the right needle as they didn’t want to stay put so that I could get my left needle into them. I’m sure that my steel 2.5 mm needles were a part of the problem. For me I found that I had to put the 2 stitches back onto the left needle and then I could get into the stitches. It seemed to take me forever but I did finish. One day I hope to have your skill level and make it look as simple as you do. Thanks for sharing your wonderful tips as they are truly helpful to this continental knitter.

My dear Evelyn, please, don't feel discouraged when you see me doing some knitting manipulations with ease. I test each technique for hours before I'm ready to demonstrate it in a video. I can be quite clumsy at first, but it all improves with a bit of practice. Hats off to you, my friend, for not giving up on this bind off!

Thank you for your video comparing bind-offs, the 3rd example works well as it is not tight. When I have worked the Jenny's Stretchy bind-off, though I can get my foot through the cuff, the bind-off feels tight. But the third bind-off which is like a knitted bind-off, looks nice, flares only slightly when off the foot but looks nice when worn. I have had both ankles broken (at different times, fortunately) but hand knitted socks are a great alternative to support hose which I cannot stand. So my usual socks, I knit top-down with a heel flap and wanted to do some toe up, but have never really been satisfied with the bind-off. But now I am. If my ankle is sore because I bumped it or just the weather or just because I am 67, having a sock which does not hurt to put on is wonderful for me. Thank you for your technique videos you do, your demos are very clear, love them. And love to you for all of your kindness.

@10rowsaday

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Angelica. I haven't heard of a cast on that would be the exact match for this bind off, but because the bind off edge looks a lot like an edge created by a regular bind off worked in the pattern, the closest match could be the chain cast on explained in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/chain-caston Happy knitting :-)

Good clear video - I've just used the last one for the cuffs of top down sleeves on a jacket I'm knitting.. Interesting that you put the end of the yarn through the last loop. I learned (a few years back) just to pull the end out - makes for a smoother finish. I'm trying to think who I learned that from? It was an American knitter, that I do know.

@10rowsaday

6 жыл бұрын

That's a clever tip - to pull the yarn tail out instead of putting it through the last loop. You are right - it DOES make a smoother finish. For some reason, I stick to the habit of putting the tail through the loop. Habits are tough to break :-)

I have just watched this video and wanted to ask the same question. I also like the following method for dealing with the last stitch - before you work the last stitch, slip it onto the right needle, pull up the loop from the stitch below and place it onto the right needle. Pass the pulled up loop and the last stitch back onto the left needle and work them together as one to finish the bind off. Then pull out the end.

Thank you for your clear explanation of the bind off methods. Which bind off would you use for the neck edge a garter stitch project, like a cowl, knit in the round? I would really appreciate your reply.

I would kindly ask you for some tips (or perhaps a video how to handle the sewing especially at blanket corners (the instruction in the book only says to knit the border long enough to fit all around the edge of the center pattern, gathering slightly at corners and then sew it around the blanket.

That's a good question. I haven't tested it yet, but I think we should use a combination of this bind off and the tubular bind off for 2x2 ribbing explained at www.10rowsaday.com/tubular-bindoff-2x2rib Good luck!

Excellent video and easy to understand as usual! Thank you for all you share. Which of these methods would give the maximum stretch? I knitted a cowl for a 10-year old which ended up with a circumference of about 13". Now I'm nervous it's not going to go over his head. So glad I came across your video. The cast-on edge will definitely go over his head and the body of the cowl stretches to about 20". I hope I don't have to unravel and start again.

Hi Jennifer. There is a photo of all three swatches in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/stretchy-bindoff but not when they are stretched. I would say that way #1 and 3 are equally stretchy, and the way #2 is less elastic. When I need to make the edge super-stretchy, I always go for the Russian version of sewn bind off. It is the most elastic bind off I know. The tutorial is at www.10rowsaday.com/sewn-bindoff Happy knitting!

Icelandic bind off will work nice for a neckline, especially is the sweater has sections worked in reverse stockinette or garter stitches. Those sections will highlight the "bumpy" texture of the bind off edge. Happy knitting, Jessica :-)

@10rowsaday

6 жыл бұрын

Hi Sara :-) You know, I wouldn't use a stretchy bind off to finish a scarf in brioche. Brioche is extremely stretchy and can get shapeless, especially in a scarf. It's better to use a regular bind off in pattern (knit the knits and purl the purls) especially if you used a non-stretchy cast on. If you do want your scarf to have stretchy ends and used a stretchy cast on when you started working on the scarf, then use either way #1 or way #3, because way #2 (Icelandic bind off) looks very different than any stretchy cast on. Good luck :-)
