Your video and explanation is perfectly clear. I drew a mini visual map for this process. It's simple enough, but seeing symbols in grouped pairs seems to help my brain keep track. Using two needles makes the process so much easier! I knit with quite a tight tension, but find I have to go down a few needle sizes for the provisional cast-on and tubular bind offs to avoid flaring.

As always, thanks hugely for this exceptionally clear video. I'm not an expert knitter and maybe others, like me, might find it helps to keep the stitches pushed a a few cm back from the points, only moving them up to take each 'off' stitch off and then pushing them back again. They don't accidentally fall off (!) and I can see more clearly where the yarn is going between the front and back needles.

I'm not a huge fan of the tubular CO/BO for 2x2 ribbing (it's not terribly stretchy), so I don't know if/when I will ever do one. I might, but it's not on the immediate horizon.

Hi Roxanne. I am working on a small clutch purse which is worked in one piece and folded in half and seamed in two sides. (No pattern, just my own ideas) I will be lining and adding a zipper. I wanted a non-stretchy cast on and read that the cable cast on is the best for non-stretchy, yet nice looking cast on edge. Is there a matching cast off for the cable cast on? If no, does this tubular work for what I am doing? Thanks for your great tutorial library btw!
@RoxanneRichardson3 ай бұрын
The tubular BO is meant for ribbed fabrics (typically k1p1). So if you are working ribbed fabric, you could do the CO and BO so they matched, using the tubular CO/BO. There are very few matching CO/BO combinations. There is no match for the cable CO. One option would be to make the purse in two halves, casting on with the same CO for both halves (i.e. cable CO), and then either joining the two halves with a three-needle BO, or grafting the two halves together.

Great tutorial. When I separate the stitches, my yarn is attached to the back needle because my row begins with P1. I used this technique to bind off about 30 stitches but have removed it and gone back to the beginning because it looked wonky around the edge, kind of diagonal. Should I have started the setup on the back needle? Again, thanks for your great videos. I recommend them to others a lot.
@Geets-H2 жыл бұрын
Actually, I think I’ve answered my own question. Before starting the setup for the bind off row, I simply did a “purl off” on that first purl stitch on the back needle. Then I began the setup of the first stitches as the video shows it. It looks MUCH better this time!

This looks like it would be great to join two pieces of fabric like shoulder seams. Could I do that?
@RoxanneRichardson4 жыл бұрын
Are you asking if grafting can be used to join shoulders? This video uses a technique that is essentially the same steps as grafting, but it's not two separate pieces of fabric, which is what you'd have with shoulders. While grafting can technically be used to join live shoulder sts, it's not typically recommended, because the shoulders bear the entire weight of the sweater. It's a place where you want stability in the fabric, not stretch, so that the neck doesn't spread sideways and your sweater doesn't slide off your shoulders. If you want to join live sts at the shoulder, I'd recommend a three-needle bind off, instead.

There's a different process for k2p2, just as the process for a tubular CO for k2p2 is a bit different than for k1p1. The result is a bit twisted/angled, and isn't as stretchy.

@alisonreadman4502 Жыл бұрын
I did it by reversing the order i.e. start with the purl stitch instead of the knit stitch. So the first anchor stitch is the purl stitch knitwise and then the knit stitch purlwise. The first proper stitch is lift off the purl stitch purlwise and thread through the next purl stitch knitwise. Then carry on with the knit stitches as per Roxanne's method.

Hi Roxanne, always love the tutorials and I have a question: is it difficult to do this when you have an entire front back and front to bind off or do you have any helpful hints for me? I know I’ll have quite a long length of yarn to perform this task...😳😬😑
@RoxanneRichardson3 жыл бұрын
Because you have to pull the entire length of yarn through every stitch, the yarn gets ratty if the length is too long. If the yarn is non-superwash wool, you can spit splice lengths together, as needed. If it's a non-felting fiber, then you can join in a new length and continue with the BO. When you are 4-6'' from the end, do a "knit on" in your second st at the back, then join a new strand as you "knit off" the front, leaving a 4'-6'' tail. Take care as you pull the yarn through the first few sts, so that you don't pull the new tail out. Later, you will weave in those two tails into the ribbing.

Have been practicing the tubular bind-off on a sample; even tried with contrasting yarn to been understand the pattern. I have some irregularities which may be irregular tension on the live stitches or my being irregular about how I pull the yarn through the live stitches. Putting my small sample aside, how do I tackle a long task of 100 to 200 stitches? Parallel circular needles to separate the knits and purls? That's a lot of yarn to pull through unless I use a series of shorter pieces. Thanks for your great tutorials. Ellen
@RoxanneRichardson5 жыл бұрын
I use parallel circs (one for knits, one for purls), and since I typically use non-superwash wool, I use lengths of yarn that are reasonable in length (maybe a yard, at most). When I need more yarn, I join with a spit splice (felted join). You could probably join a new length, and just leave the tails of the new and old hanging, and then weave the ends in, if using a yarn that won't felt.

Is there a way of doing this with stockinette too to keep it stretchy and give it a seamless look?
@RoxanneRichardson5 жыл бұрын
I suppose theoretically, you could bind off a piece of stockinette using the tubular bind off, but I'm not sure what you'd gain, since stockinette CO/BO edges roll toward the stockinette side of the fabric, enough to hide the edge. If the piece is to be seamed, then the edge won't show, either. It's a great finish for fabrics that alternate knits and purls because those fabrics lie flat, keeping the edge exposed, and each knit column on one face of the fabric rolls around the edge and splits into one half of two knit columns on the other face. The continuity of the edge depends on alternating knits and purls.

@RoxanneRichardson5 жыл бұрын
It's one of the rare BOs for which there is a matching CO. In projects where you use k1p1 ribbing in multiple edges (some CO, some BO), you'd be able to match them all. It's also reversible, so if you want to be able to fold back the ribbing and have it look the same on both sides, you could do that. Finally, as is often the case, it's an aesthetic choice.
