Invisible Bind Offs for Twisted Stitch Ribbing

[@mscstandre]

Thank you so much Suzanne. Your videos and instructions are so clear and easy to follow.

[@abielvins4397]

I always find the solutions to my knitting "problems" on this channel!!! Thank you so much for yet another fantastically thorough video. I especially like the way you drew attention to the fact that we work 2 knits at the same and then 2 purls at the same time in the Italian bind-off - it really helped me to keep track of where I was.

[@SuzanneBryan]

This is so wonderful to hear, Abi, thanks so much for sharing your very kind feedback! ❤️

[@alphabo1]

As usual, your explanations are very clear and informative. Thank you very much

[@SuzanneBryan]

So nice of you to say Lia, thank you!

[@luliknits]

Excellent tutorial and very clearly explained! Thank you!

[@silkewienhues4913]

Dear Suzanne, I really love your videos! Always straight to the point explaining both how and why it's the right way to do it. Thank you so much

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome, Silke! I really appreciate your very kind and thoughtful feedback! ❤️

[@ylaine8972]

Vos vidéos sont toujours aussi instructives, merci de partager toutes ces précieuses informations .

[@SuzanneBryan]

Tu es très gentil, merci!

[@theastewart6721]

Wonderful tutorial Suzanne! Your explanations are so clear and concise! I’m definitely planning on doing some swatching with these methods! Thank you for another amazing tutorial!🌸🌺

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome, Thea! Thank yo for watching!

[@theastewart6721]

Again, many thanks Suzanne!💞

[@cheryldeville9211]

Amazingly clear and easy to understand, as always. I just completed my first tubular bindoff on 105 stitches 😲😲 and it worked perfectly. And I didn't even do a practice swatch because I wanted to jump right in. 😁 Many thanks Suzanne! 🥰

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wonderful, Cheryl, I love hearing success stories! ❤️ Thanks so much for watching and sharing!

[@nikkiscott4341]

Same here. I have to know I can do this without being interrupted. Having had to undo it in the past, I even ended up cutting my way back and starting from the double knitting rows. Now I know to give it my full and undivided attention!

[@isawa6649]

Thank you, Suzanne!

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome Isa!

[@thaberkorn6853]

Great video Suzanne, very clear video with excellent explanation.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@ccpperrett7522]

Thank you for this great comparison tutorial. Wow! I never knew how much I didn't know.😉😊

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful! I find that there is always something new to learn. 😊

[@andreamiller6200]

I love this so much! I have been thinking lately about trying to work with twisted stitches and it had dawned on me that I would want to match the bind off to the fabric, but I would not have known how except here you are with EXACTLY what I need to know!

[@SuzanneBryan]

I'm so glad my video helped you! 😊

[@andreamiller6200]

@@SuzanneBryan ALL of your videos help me! You're the best!

[@wendyellis6402]

Suzanne, I love to use the last method - the tubular - for necklines in particular. Such a shapely, professional finish. It pulls in slightly, while remaining elastic. Thanks for your clear demonstration, I so appreciate it ❤️

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome, Wendy, I'm happy to help!

[@mireilleforand5396]

Thank you for your tutorial. I was putting off binding off my twisted ribbed sleeves. Without knowing it, I was probably waiting for your video which was soooo helpful. One down. Off to the 2nd one. Thank you!

[@SuzanneBryan]

This made me smile, thank you Mireille! 😊

[@freshwindbrightsky]

Thank you! very clear and so helpful!

[@ClaudiaCarranza1]

perfect bind off for some projects that are living in my head. thank you!

[@SuzanneBryan]

So glad to help, Claudia, thanks for watching!

[@jand7782]

Thank you for the techniques. I'm watching the Italian BO in Pattern (or the one-needle kitchener), and I'm always amazed, wondering, "Who figured this out?!? It is mind blowing to me.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wow, you are very kind, Jan! 😍

[@YourGirlKath]

Hi Suzanne ! would you ever consider doing a similar video for twisted rib cast ons? there seems to be a big shortage of twisted rib cast on tutorials and I'd love to make a twisted rib beanie with a nice neat edge.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Great idea, Kathryn, I will add this to my video "to do" list! Thank you! ❤️

[@joycepurcell9934]

Fantastic video, thank you! I always learn so much from your videos, Suzanne. At the 2:35 mark, you tease a forthcoming video on the two cast ons you used in the last two swatches. Is that video available? I haven’t found it. Italian & tubular cast on for twisted rib.

[@annieyoung4]

Hello Suzanne. I’ve followed you for quite a while and like everyone else, learn so much from your style of teaching. I’ve done the tubular B/o in the round on 1x1 rib with great success. This one however has me a bit stumped. On the 2nd pass (wrong side) you are knitting through the front loop instead if the back loop. Is this correct?

[@irened5834]

Hello Suzanne, I have watched bind off #3 (Italian) and bind off #4 (tubular) and they look exactly the same to me. Am I wrong? Thanks

[@jvaughton]

I'm having some trouble binding off a sweater hem in Italian bind off because of the reason you mentioned - the yarn is worn from being pulled through a million times. My yarn is superwash merino/linen - any tips for how to join more yarn mid bind off when spit-splicing won't work? Thank you for the tutorial, it's invaluable as always!

[@carolm.hurwitz2585]

What do you mean by double knitting is this case? It looks like regular knitting to me and all the tutorials that I look at are for knitting two fabrics simultaneously. I have watched this video many times. The Italian bind off is tricky. I

[@motzoh]

Suzanne, do you think the first, invisible bind off you demonstrated will match a cable cast-on on the other end? (The scarf is ribbed at each end, 2k-2p.) Or is there another bind off you'd recommend? Thank you.

[@SuzanneBryan]

It will look good, but will not match exactly. Try it on a swatch and see what you think.

[@linzjan4276]

Wonderful tutorial, I’d love access to the work sheets is that possible

[@SuzanneBryan]

Hi Linz Jan, would you please clarify your question. I am not sure what exactly you are meaning.

[@julyf9261]

Hi Suzanne, can you show us how to do an italian bind off in 1x1 rib with selvedge stitches on both ends? thank you

[@SuzanneBryan]

I am adding this to my video todo list. Thank you,

[@maynart9191]

Hi Suzanne, thank you so much for your videos, they are a life saver! I do have a question about the tubular BO in pattern. So I have this top-down sweater that I'm making, which have a twisted ribs hem. But the purl are also twisted (p1tbl). Do you think I should also twist those before grafting ?

[@SuzanneBryan]

Yes, I would do that. As always, I suggest swatching to confirm. 😊

[@anharsiddiqui5552]

❤❤❤ Thank you

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are welcome!

[@isabelcorreia2442]

Muito, muito obrigada por nos ensinar, que Deus te abençoe! Eu moro na cidade de Goiana- PE, Brasil

[@SuzanneBryan]

Muito obrigada Isabel, agradeço por assistir! ❤️

[@dmg1204]

How would I do this bind off if my pattern has a selvedge stitch on each end?

[@SuzanneBryan]

In this case, I would work the selvedge stitch as a knit.

[@annieyoung4]

Q: my twisted stitches got so tight after I twisted them again before the final pass. Is that normal? I’m using a 100% cotton.

[@bsfb3ar]

I saw a twisted bind off and she mention if the ribs are twisted then the bind off should be done on the wrong side of the garment, but I can’t find any tutorial. Please make a tutorial. The twisted bind off are stretchy but does not flared out.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Adding to my todo list.

[@llily47]

Would the same steps apply to binding off in the round?

[@SuzanneBryan]

Yes. Plus this - For that last loop on your needle when all the stitches have been bound off, cut the yarn and pull the loop open (do not pull tail through the loop, but pull the loop out). Then thread the tail on a tapestry needle, find the first bound off loop on the beginning of the round and take your tapestry needle under it (like a duplicate stitch) then take the tapestry needle down through the opened loop, to close it, and then pull up until the bind off edge meets perfectly from beginning to the end. Then weave in the end.

[@cedriccrochet9789]

Hello How I can do with rib 2/2 tiwested in circular ( for example sweater )

[@SuzanneBryan]

You would rearrange the stitches on your needle to be 1/1, then use the bind off as shown. It will look lovely.

[@marylynnkunkel3134]

This was a good tutorial, and I just have a few suggestions- maybe recommend that the technique be practiced on a swatch BEFORE you are in the middle of the demonstration! I had to re-play run several sections during the demo for the Italian bind off for each and every stitch I did. Also, Please make comments, such as on tightening a stitch or doing uninterrupted before or after the entire tutorial, instead of during your description of the technique, as it only becomes distracting when you are just trying to concentrate on which stitch you are on and whether you go in front or behind, etc. Also, I had to do some of the stitches in 2 steps when you did it all at once, as my project is a fingerless mitt done in fingering weight yarn on DPNs. My result was a tiny bit lumpy, but passable. Again, thanks, don’t mean to complain and I admit I should have known to practice this first!

[@SuzanneBryan]

I appreciate your feedback, Marylynn, thank you. 😊

[@kiyanasalkeld8336]

Do you have a tutorial for how to do this in the round?

[@SuzanneBryan]

Not yet, but adding to my video todo list. But to answer you, here is a link to a video that shows how to join the bind off in the round, this will help you too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/omnVnYqEbN9ml6M, what you are looking for will be near the end of the video.

[@lauraservidei5728]

So this is no different than the invisible bind-off for "normal" ribbing, correct? I mean there is nothing special because of the twisted ribbing.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Yes, you will need to twist the stitches as you bind them off.

[@TheDollyce]

Thank you, Suzanne!

You are so welcome, Dollyce!
