You always have the best videos! Whether slow or regular motion, I can always understand what you are doing and learn from you. You are a miracle worker!
Your slow-motion videos are excellent! I always think of your channel when I need to learn a new technique, especially these slow-motion ones! And this bind of looks so pretty, even just knitting it instead of in pattern!
I used this bind-off for a sock last week that ended with a K1P1 cuff-- it worked so well that I used it on a hat (K2P2 rib brim) I'd procrastinated finishing and it is fantastic! This is now my go-to stretchy bind-off: thank you!
This method has changed my knitting life. I have always had tension issues with my bind off until I watched this video. Thank you so much. The results were perfect.
I actually just recently used your old tutorial a few days ago to help bind off my first sleeve of a sweater! This was great!! I got kind of nervous with knowing what to do with the last remaining stitch but I winged it and treated it as if It were a last loop of crochet and sewed it into the work invisibly. Idk why having free-hanging knit loops causes so much more anxiety than a loose-hanging crochet stitch lolol
This is lovely! I just finished a blanket and wasn’t pleased with the bind off since it wasn’t nearly as stretchy as the blanket. I think I’ll take it out and redo it with this technique. 💛
I've been looking for different techniques to try and this came up when I searched for "stretchy bind-off". I just tried it on a shawl that has both knit and purl sts. I have to say, I really like it! It's a very easy bind off to do, it's attractive, not bulky, neutral enough to use on Knit and Purl w/o having to bind off in pattern, and most importantly it IS nice and stretchy!! This may become my go to "all purpose" bind off! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. My bind offs never match my cast on stitches. I even go up a needle size and I still get an uneven edge compared to the cast on. Can't wait to try this. You may have saved my knitting.
@@kylelifestyle3103 As it happens, we had a cold night with some areas hitting freezing temps overnight. The day was cool but nice. How about the weather in your neck of the woods?
Thank you so much this helps considerably I've had hats that wouldn't go over my head and socks that wouldn't pull up now I will use this method of bind off thanks!!
I will need to undo a too tight bind off in order to use this stretchy version. This will entail needing to join more yarn as I have already cut it. Any recommendations for the best yarn joining method for this situation? The cast off will be visible as it is for a sleeve cuff.....many thanks.
I'be used your previous video for the stretchy bind-off and I'm delighted to see you always just do it with the knit stitch, rather than trying to duplicate the pattern! Question: Am I correct that it seems to use more yarn than the regular non-stretchy bind-off? Important to know when you're knitting down to the last yarn on the skein which I often do.
The neckline of my sweater ends with a purl row, and the patterns says to BO purlwise. I need a very stretchy BO as I am ripping out the regular one because it will not go over my head. Should I BO purlwise, and if so, through the back loop or just purl 2 tog normally? Thank you for ALL of your great videos!!
No, not unless the sweater is very fitted/tight. Your best BO for most sweater hems is a regular BO using a needle size larger than you used in the rest of the sweater. ua-cam.com/video/VrcZDngom_E/v-deo.html
It might look flared when the sock is off, but you might find that it fits well (and does not flare) when it is actually being worn. If you think the BO is still too loose, you can adjust the tension by still using this stretchy BO, but using a smaller needle size.

Thank you for doing the slow motion videos. It makes it so much clearer for me
Sincere thanks for your clear and comprehensive instruction. You are my go-to instructor for all my knitting questions. 🤗

Finally a stretchy bind off that works!!!@ thank you
Slow motion video for demonstrating knitting: genius! Thanks so much.
Thanks again for another great slow motion video!!

Thank you so much! I am knitting a gift and I was really nervous to try a stretchy bind off. Your video was so easy to follow! :)
Cool, I need to remember that stitch because the regular bind off has no give. Thank you for slow motion. 💖💖💖💖🥰
I LOVE your slo motion videos! Thank you
Thank you so much. Perfect for the little baby jacket I just finished.❤ It was very easy and looks great 👍 😊. Love from Canberra Australia
thank you so much this has helped me so much in knitting slippers for my husband who has arthritis.
Fantastic! It gives a bind off that is more in keeping with the cast on. And all knit! Fab! Thank you for another great tip!
Ok, stretchy bind off all knit, that's what I'm using going forward. Thank you. I love the slow-mo series.

Very helpful since I'm knitting gifts at this time
@@kylelifestyle3103 it's finally feeling like fall here in Alabama. How's the weather there?
Used this bind off for my Papillon Shawl on Ravelry. Allowed an easy, generous blocking. Thank you very much.
I've been doing this but movving the stitches to the left needle. This will go much faster. Thank you, great tip!
I literally watched your first video about an hour ago and started binding off my sons jumper and you upload this , crazy XD

Wow been knitting along time and never used this method. I am going to definitely give this a try on my next project. Thank you so much for sharing 💕
Thanks for sharing I'm loving and using
Buenos días, excelente técnica para un cierre que requiera elasticidad. Gracias por tus enseñanzas. Felicidades.🎀
Thank you so much this helps considerably I've had hats that wouldn't go over my head and socks that wouldn't pull up now I will use this method of bind off thanks!!
Thank you so much! Loved the slow motion.
Thanks for the slow motion. Awesome.
Thank you very much! Your tutorials are the best!😍
Thank you very much , I learned from u a lot of lovely things 🌷
Love this method and have been doing all knit since I first watched your first video. Hate to purl. Lol. Thanks for this
Thanks for giving me permission to not bother casting off in pattern. So much easier to just knit it off and be done with it and it looks just as nice
Needed to use this today to finish a beautiful shawl I've been working on for 2 months. The bindoff looks amazing for the garter stitch I was using.
Than You
I think this would work well with long bind offs like scarves, too.
Thankyou so much
Perfect
Thanks!!
I will need to undo a too tight bind off in order to use this stretchy version. This will entail needing to join more yarn as I have already cut it. Any recommendations for the best yarn joining method for this situation? The cast off will be visible as it is for a sleeve cuff.....many thanks.
Is there a stretchy cast on? 😅
Yes, I recommend German Twisted CO, you can see my regular-speed and slo-mo videos on this technique.
Q: is there a matching cast-on to this??
Thank you so much for this series ♡♡
can you recommend a basic garter stitch headband in the round?

Question: Am I correct that it seems to use more yarn than the regular non-stretchy bind-off? Important to know when you're knitting down to the last yarn on the skein which I often do.
It definitely uses more yarn. It is, in fact, the extra yarn that accounts for the stretch. You're essentially knitting the stitches twice.
@@susanchipman4459 THANKS!
How do you deal with last Stitch?
Just like you do with any bind-off...cut the yarn, pull the cut end through the last loop, and pull the end to tighten.
The neckline of my sweater ends with a purl row, and the patterns says to BO purlwise. I need a very stretchy BO as I am ripping out the regular one because it will not go over my head. Should I BO purlwise, and if so, through the back loop or just purl 2 tog normally? Thank you for ALL of your great videos!!
Great video. How would you use this for 1 x 1 ribbing?
I do it exactly the same way...I still do all knit stitches in the BO.
Would you recommend this for a sweater hem?
No, not unless the sweater is very fitted/tight. Your best BO for most sweater hems is a regular BO using a needle size larger than you used in the rest of the sweater. ua-cam.com/video/VrcZDngom_E/v-deo.html
Same thing I do only quicker; thank you!
Using this BO, the cuff on my sock is flared like a trumpet! It really looks awful.
It might look flared when the sock is off, but you might find that it fits well (and does not flare) when it is actually being worn. If you think the BO is still too loose, you can adjust the tension by still using this stretchy BO, but using a smaller needle size.
Forgot to use this for the front of my neckline, oops 😂
