Thank you for this tutorial. I’m knitting a little child’s dress with four inches of lace at the hem. The finishing per the pattern is 3 rows of garter and regular or stretchy bind off. I’d like to bind off in the lace pattern, maybe with your pico bind off. Does this seem feasible, or even aesthetically right to do?
It's great you are feeling confident to put your own stamp on your project Emma, and from the sound of it I think it could look really lovely. I would suggest you do a little swatching - to include a bit of the lace border and then how you would transition that to the picot cast off, maybe with 1-few rows garter stitch in before you do the cast off. Maybe also try just going straight form the lace to the cast off too - have fun experimenting. It's worth taking the time to swatch as things don't always work out how you imagine they will. if you don't want to swatch, just try it out as you go and be prepared to frog it back if you're not keen - happy creating x
Yeah!!! I’m doing it 🎉. It’s a very tedious process for me using a lot of concentration. All good. I just hope I have left enough yarn for the cast off process. I read that it takes 12 times the length of the Shawl of yarn to save for the bind off. Is that your estimate??? This is my first time doing this process. Thank you in advance for your reply 🙏🏻
Very good & clear instructions, thank you! :) It seems somehow counterintuitive to be casting *on* stiches when you're supposed to be casting off, that's why I've had trouble wrapping my head round this method, I guess ;)
Yes that’s right I am knitting with the yarn held in my right hand. Essentially picot cast (bind) off involves casting on a couple of stitches, then casting these off straight way to form the picot, plus then cast off a couple more to form the gap between that and the next picot. Then repeat this process across the row/round. If you have a different knitting style (such as continental) just move your hands/hold yarn as you normally would when you cast on additional sts and cast (bind) off.
Ditto to all of the positive comments. Good camera work, excellent explanations. Thank you.
This is so much easier than just reading it on the pattern. Thank you so much ☺️
Glad you found it helpful 😀

Really did enjoy your video especially showing different ways to do the picots for different effects! Thanks

Tiene español no lo tiendo
She is using English method, and I really do not understand what to do.
