I just saved this video. I finished a sweater a few weeks ago and used the Icelandic bind-off, I thought. I used your third bind-off thinking it was the Icelandic. Thanks!
I've been knitting for many years, and only ever used the traditional bind off, but this looks great - probably less fiddly than traditional and more elastic. Brilliant. Social media is just brilliant for this kind of thing!
Thank you for comparing the different bindoffs. I,too,had confused the one move bindoff with the Icelandic. I like the look of Icelandic bindoff much better.
Hello and thanks for this new to me technique! Does it work for other type of stitches also? I’m working on linen stitch right now and would really appreciate your input
Thank you sooo much, it's a great stitch!!! Please, tell me what you have for needle when you knitting a sweater.? They are so beautiful please tell me. Many greetings to you from Northern Germany from @strickrada 👋😊
Great bind-off option. Thanks so much for the comparisons, too. I will certainly use this on garter stitch. Such a nicely finished edge it creates. Brand new to me.
Hi, Laura. I’m a very-beginning knitter. I’m coming from crochet and knitting is a challenge for me. I’ll be looking through your very helpful tutorials for basic instruction. 🌻 Carola on Morro Bay 🐳
I think I just did this bind off by accident. I put the right needle through the first stitch, wrapped the yard around , then moved the first stitch over the new one, then took another stitch from the left and then moved the new loop I made over that too, and then repeated so , now I’m left with the second stitch from the left, I wrap the yarn around and move the second stitch over that, grab another and put the 2nd new loop over the 3rd, and so on and so on.. it looks like a chain, so I think it’s the same as this, I’m just a bit baffled how I managed it as this looks completely different in the method
Excelent to see differences between. I've seen another type of bind off , it is knit 2 together and then put st again on left needle and knit 2 together, I don't know how it's called.
Great tutorial, but what happens with the last stitch? This is my first attempt at knitting after 50 years of crochet. A nasty start to it, but several days later I only have a few mistakes or dropped stitches. I got to the last stitch of the Icelandic bind-off, but don't know what to do with the last stitch. Do I pull it all the way through like with crochet, or is there something else that I need to do to it?
This is my go to bind off! I also go right to the bindoff, no first stitch. Also the last stitch I bind off is actually the first bindoff stitch I did. Otherwise it leaves a little gap that I don’t like. Then just pull the tail down thru before burying the tail. Btw, that yarn is delicious! Any deets on that?
You do it differently from someone else. She says to twist the stitch before you put it back on the left needle so that the stitch is mounted correctly.

Glad it was helpful!
Love learning the Icelandic bindoff. I had to use a crochet needle because my stitching was tight...works great 👍 thank you!
I just used this bind off on a bandana that had garter stitch border. It turned out great! Thanks for the tutorial!!
You are so welcome!
That is a beautiful bind off, and so simply done... thank you for teaching us this one. 😃
It really does have a gorgeous flow... doesn't it? Happy Knitting!

Fabulous info & easy to understand 😀 thank you ,I'm an instant fan.
Thanks, Laura. This was perfect!
This is wonderful - thank you!
It's fantastic 🎉 I like to start with german twisted cast on and this is exactly what I needed for 😁 Thank you 😚
You're welcome 😊
The Icelandic bind off is new to me. I love the finished edge! What bind off do you recommend for stockinette stitch?
Super de voir la différence ! La première est de loin ma préférée 😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Will add this one to my arsenal for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Sure thing! Thank you!!
I love this bind off. Very well demonstrated. Does this work to bind off 1x1 rib?
Just bound off a shawl using this bo..it is so neat & pretty & easy!
I love your video.
thank you for sharing this. You make it look easy. My question is, is it only for garter stitch?
No, not necessarily, you can certainly use it on other fabric structures, it just matches garter stitch really well!
@@LauraNelkin thank you
Love it! Thank you!

So interesting thank you! 😊👍🏻
You're welcome!

Do you have a way to do a 1x1 tubular or similar bind off when you knit through the back?

Try the continental knitting style. Is has a lot in common with crochet.
Love this so much! Thanks Laura!!!
Glad you liked it!!

Ok, so is there a matching cast-on so both ends can be even tention. The double row of stitches layering on each other would drive my ADD bonkers.
What about so KS in this bind off?but
Thank you!! I’m now subscribed:)
Welcome!
Thanks!!
Excelent to see differences between. I've seen another type of bind off , it is knit 2 together and then put st again on left needle and knit 2 together, I don't know how it's called.
Ah, that is a lace bind off, one of my favorite bind offs for lace edges!
How about a bindoff that looks kind of like that but on the edge? I got a sweater from China with a really neat edge, and I have no idea how to do it.
I tend to match it with a German Twisted Cast On!
Great tutorial, but what happens with the last stitch? This is my first attempt at knitting after 50 years of crochet.

Yes, just pull it all the way through!

Thanks! Great tips!!! It is Emma's Yarn DK, I think a Ooak color!
Could you please elaborate on how you handle the last stitch? (Do you mean that you just bind that one off regularly and then pull the tail through?)
Help. I can’t find a stretchy stockinette bind off that doesn’t roll
See my above comment! That will help!
Thank you so much ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
You do it differently from someone else. She says to twist the stitch before you put it back on the left needle so that the stitch is mounted correctly.
There are multiple ways to work this bind off... I always suggest that people swatch and then work it the way they like best on their project!
Merci beaucoup !
You are so welcome!!!
