Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-off - Tutorial - Knitting Blooms

[@marsenalatty7750]

Your simple step by step directions gave me hope for understanding how to do this stretchy bind off for a lacy shawl. Thanks for making the directions easy to follow and understand.

[@karenescalera2987]

Thank you Jenny. I'm giving my first knitting lesson to a friend this morning and I wanted to make sure that I could send her home with a very easy turtorial to follow online when she gets home afterward. I've been knitting for 50 years. My mother taught me how to knit when I was a Brownie Scout at age 9! yeah mom! and yeah grandmother!

[@TinaommeiLondon]

Thank you for posting this; you enabled me to finish a project I have been working on for far too long!

[@Bloomingknitter]

Tina - omme i London So glad to hear that.

[@amira1208]

Never knit in my life. I start to learn to knitting to make my dog’s sweater.However almost gave up to knitting because no matter what I couldn’t understand to how to stretchy bind. Then I found this video.I am so happy! I didn’t have to give up to knitting.thank you so much for show it with slow.most other video is showing in very quick. I really appreciate your video.

[@RevTergis]

What a fantastic bind off for around a cowl when you need it to be very stretchy! Thank you.

[@carlataylor6043]

Excellent job explaining and your video quality and camera angles are fantastic. I got it immediately! Thank you thank you!

[@UnsolicitedThoughtsOfARose]

Lifesaver! I was doing the cuffs of a balloon sleeve and this worked so nicely!

[@ConnyNordlicht]

Thank you so very much! l need this bind off so much for several projects! Right now I'm gonna knit a pair of socks for one of my my friends who l only can see once a year and it will be perfect with this bind off! This is the very best way to end my knitting.

[@blastoff2022]

once again...you walked me through the entire process and I"ve finished off a new pair of socks~you're a great teacher! Thanks...from this happy knitter in Maryland!

[@MrPotatoemouse]

Thanks for your really clear, no nonsense video. It's worked out perfectly for my garter stitch cuffs - I just bound off as you show for knit stitches all the way along.

[@louisecalabrese7572]

Best one yet. Thanks for being so easy to follow and learn from ... Love all your video's.

[@miranda7458]

Great explanation! I found it really useful that you repeated the steps for several stitches in a row- there’s nothing worse than having to skip back to the useful part of the video while trying to keep your knitting in order and remembering where you’re up to. Thank you!!!

[@amyklco7067]

Very helpful. Thanks for showing exactly how the yarn should be placed, etc. (I tend to over-think things so it helped to be able to double-check everything.) I'm going to bookmark this video for future reference! And now, I can actually wear the knee-high socks I made! :)

[@yukihir0]

THANK YOU. I've just completed my headband using this method. I'm wearing it as I type this. I'm so excited to wear my new garment and SO excited use this technique for my future projects !!!

[@eileenkelly875]

Thank you !! It worked perfectly on my sweater collar bind off 😀

[@Knittyneeds]

What an excellent Teacher! Always smiling and making knitting FUN. Brilliant step by step explanations. Tina I've watched most of your videos and enjoy every second. Y're amazing, very sharing and so talented. You make dummies like me progress in knitting. Never too old to learn. This stretchy bind off is a great help for collars too. Thanks a million for sharing and caring. Hugs xxx

[@Bloomingknitter]

Knittyneeds Thank you so much, I am so glad my tutorials are helping you so much.

[@Knittyneeds]

Your laughter and excitement to introduce something new for knitters is very encouraging. I love the T on the "acrosst". it makes me smile. I'm French and I admire your accent. Beautiful Tina, thanks for sharing your talent. Hugs xxx

[@Bloomingknitter]

Knittyneeds LOL! it is funny how other accents seem to make us all happy. Hugs.

[@Verrucca00]

Thanks so much! This was exactly what i needed for my project. I've watched other tutorials on this technique, and I really love the way you teach it!

[@asmith9655]

Thanks for the clear instructions. I've watched three other videos on JSSBO and this was the best (also the only one to provide attribution to Jeny Staiman and Knitty).

[@louiezmum]

Oh so cool thanks. I have just come across your video and you are so clear in your instructions!

[@ivyjonesdiaz9275]

video tutorials really help me, since I'm still fairly new to knitting. I used this to finish an infinity scarf and it worked perfectly! thanks! :D

[@ConnyNordlicht]

Dear, did l tell you that your videos are the one l love most watching? You're great'cause you explain and you do it with the video and with your words the best way it can be. l can notice that you do all from your heart. Thank you all much!

[@Bloomingknitter]

Thank you!

[@kmcasanova01]

thanks! Worked great! I found that I need to keep my stitches looser so I can slip the 2 over. And when i got to the end, (making boots cuffs in the round) I had a bit of a gap, so i just picked up one of bound off stitches to close the gap

[@jessicaaidei0913]

TINA, You are awesome!! I was just googling stretchy Bind offs and when I found this one on google I came to youtube to try to find a tutorial on it and thought well I hope someone has a good tutorial and sure enough YOU were the first video that came up on my search!! THANK YOU! I was so happy to see you had a tutorial on this :)

[@Bloomingknitter]

Jessica Barajas Hi Jessica, happy to hear that you found my tutorials, and it was a pleasure meeting you on the last VKN. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

[@kokoriffic929]

Thanks, TIna! I usually do a sewn bind-off on my socks, but I wanted to try this bind-off on my current pair. As usual, great explanation and walk-thru!

[@Bloomingknitter]

kokoriffic929 Glad you liked it, I use this for all of my socks.

[@lindamcintyre3887]

Terrific video. You are a wonderful instructor. Very clear video and clear spoken directions. Thank you for your time and expertise!

[@mem2984]

Love your videos, they are so clear. Thank you for sharing.

[@michellem8686]

This is such a great tutorial! Very helpful. Thank you!

[@bowling_with_yarn]

Awesome, thank you for showing both knit and purl 😊

[@DrivingSKY]

a video link I found in a pattern showed how to do this continental but I am a thrower not a picker so it drove me nuts trying to follow the instructions holding the yarn with my left hand. This is perfect as you are demonstrating in the same way I knit. Thank you!!

[@marysunshine389]

I'm so glad I found this video. The other Jeny's bind off I've watched work Continental knit or they're hands move out of the video watching area. I'd just about given up learning this technique. Thanks so much....... This was great.

[@Bloomingknitter]

Mary Sunshine So happy to hear that this tutorial helped you.

[@neenee56]

Thank you so much for this video. I've never heard of this bind-off method until today. I sure do need a stretchy bind-off, for a blanket I'm doing. My yarn has no stretch, & the cast-on edge was difficult, so I'm anticipating the same thing at the other end. Hopefully, this method will help. And thanks for the heads up regarding the extra yarn needed. :)

[@jess_pdx5896]

Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@Bloomingknitter]

jess_pdx Hi Jess, you're most welcome.

[@elsieb3176]

Thanks for the hint about allowing six times the width of the piece when determining if there's enough yarn left to do this bind off. I hate to play Yarn Chicken at the end of a project! I'm using this bind off on a garter stitch piece, and from both the front and the back it looks like there's a chain at the top...very cool!

[@elsieb3176]

Yarn chicken is when one gambles on whether or not there's enough yarn to finish a project. I lose all too often!

[@brittany45]

The crochet chain look makes this a very good match to the Chinese Waitress Caston, if you're one of those people who like the beginning and end of your projects to match.

[@Stichjourneyvibes]

Wow, thank you. I have just find out the perfect cast off I have been looking for a while. I am subscribing to your videos.

[@cynthiah1298]

This is a wonderfully useful! I appreciate you making this video.

[@DanniJHughes]

Great video. First one I found that showed how to do this with 2x2 rib. This is now my bind off of choice for socks. I have fat calves and this fits perfectly. Thanks so much Bloomingknitter!

[@juliehicks2888]

I'm going to try this on a headband I'm working on for my granddaughter. It will have 1x1 rib and I want it to be stretchy so it isn't too tight on her head. To Vulcansausage, it could be you're a tight knitter and maybe you should try going up several needle sizes for your bind-off, as Bloomingknitter suggested.

[@loisjones9766]

Thanks finally I think I got this and it looks great not all wonky!💐💐💐😄😄😄

[@debbiekeyko4714]

great video. very clear instructions at a good pace...thanks

[@loisjones9766]

Thank you I finally get this bind off and it's not all floppy and grose looking!

[@cherylmeehan9245]

Wish I was aware of this years ago. Has made blocking my shawls so much easier.

[@marceb30]

Used this on a scarf and love how loose it feels. But before I realized it I was out of yarn. I finished with just over an inch of yarn left, so next time I will save 7x the length instead of 6x. It may be because I used very bulky yarn. Thanks so much. I was worried about how I would end it without it looking much tighter than the beginning end. This bind off will be what I use from now on.

[@watchgoose]

the YO are taking up more yarn than usual.

[@donnawilson7486]

Perfect tutorial. Thank you.

[@anitakowarick9169]

The best explanation. Thank you.

[@SpiritBear12]

If you're knitting continental (working yarn from the skein in left hand) where do you yarn over, on the left needle with the work on it, or the right needle that is temporarily holding the bind off stitches? I'm trying to learn knitting on my own and I prefer the continental method. Thank you

[@Bloomingknitter]

Whether you are knitting continental or english style you would still yarn over on the working needle (right needle). Hopefully that helps.

[@SpiritBear12]

Thank you for your reply.

[@MetroidMann]

When you pass the stitches over, is it important to keep the yarn on the same side as where it ends after making the third stitch? I have a habit of pulling the yarn to the original position after a purl.

[@moriaheva]

I typically bind of socks and gloves with a 4 sizes larger needle. How much would you go up with this bind off?

[@notmandy]

thank you for the 3x and 6x yarn length tip. how I've been doing is just start binding off and pray I have enough yarn 😂😂😂

[@louisecalabrese7572]

miss seeing you ...... Hope you come back.

[@jessa5388]

I used a crochet hook as the right-hand needle and finally figured it out!

[@rexd1976]

Thank you for this video! Great job and very helpful

[@alejandrabosc201]

Thank you! Yours is the very best explanation!

[@diane38]

could this be used for necklines of sweaters? I always have trouble with it stretching.

[@borealchorusstudio]

Excellent video! Thank you! And it is surprisingly stretchy! Even stretchier than my original cast on edge! LOL!

[@sewbizgirl]

It amused me to hear your kitty purring through the whole video!

[@gpurgauer]

can you please show me if at all possible, how to thread yarn through stitches and draw up and secure instead of regular casting off. Thank you.

[@teveolica]

Queda muy bonita la terminación al cerrar los puntos .Gracias por la explicación .👏👏😊💝💛🌈🌎🌷

[@sera.84]

thanks for this video. i got confused with the sewn in stretchy bind off

[@cynthiah1298]

Thank you! You made it so clear.

[@margochristie7466]

Really good! Will use it on my first scarf, Thanks.

[@greysunshine]

Does this work in the round?

[@clarineolson6612]

Great tutorial! Thank you so much!!

[@daddysromangel]

Thank you so much. You just saved my skirt ! Xx

[@heidilady]

I believe that reverse yarn over is technically called a "yarn forward" and the other is called a "yarn over"

[@quizillafreak]

A yarnforward does not go over the needle and create a stitch like that. A yarn forward is when you're knitting for example in a rib 2x2, you knit two knit stitches, you yarn forward (so the yarn is in the front) and purl two stitches

[@dcrunicycles]

Thank you

[@pktrekgirl2]

Super helpful!!! Thank you!

[@gaellemouquet7326]

Merci beaucoup 😍😍😍

[@eloisachavez9872]

How to do this on one by one ribbing?

[@nguyenthu2562]

[@RavenClaw-js1mt]

Thank you, this made so much sense, got it to work on the first try

[@RoxyKnits]

Wish I'd seen your video on this technique first lol, the others I saw weren't as clear :)

[@watchgoose]

wow!

[@virginiablackwell3338]

Hi Jeny,would u please when u start showing the stretchy of binding as its hard for me anyway to get what u r trying to show....Thanks

[@lavonnethompson117]

Thx. Unbelievable.

[@quizillafreak]

I'll be honest, I did it on my project and it's not nearly as stretchy as I expected it to be...

[@Bloomingknitter]

Vulcansausage Which bind off do you use that is more stretchy?

[@quizillafreak]

Bloomingknitter I usually bind off using a needle 3 to 4 sizes bigger than the needle I used for the project.
