Loom Knitting Blanket Bind off - No worrying about Tension!

[@erinsturrock5347]

I think this is the best video I’ve ever seen about bind offs. I use Turning edges, and never knew I had to do those first!!!! This would explain a lot of error bind offs i have dealt with.

[@lschue]

Thank you!! I’m so glad it helps you! I messed up the first blanket I ever did… I had used a bind off everyone told me too… it involved moving loops… it was a mess! I searched bind offs and this one worked the absolute best especially for blankets! I use this method for all my flat panel projects as well as socks!! ❤🥰 Happy New Year!

[@DawnMcAdams-nd8um]

Thank you Laurie. This is a great bind off! I also did not realize that I had to move the turning peg over then knit it off.

Your welcome! 🥰

Thank you so much Laurie! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for💞I did have some trouble getting it at first, but once I got it, it was fairly simple

Your Welcome! 🥰❤

[@marciafolk4348]

I have never done a bind off like this. I am glad I watched the video. Thank you, Laurie Schue!🧓

[@lschue]

Your welcome! Hope you try it.. it works the best!

[@marciafolk4348]

I used it on my Stars and Stripes table runner (your pattern) and I really liked it.

[@lschue]

@@marciafolk4348 That’s wonderful! Thank you so much! 🥰

[@kathybrannon544]

Thank you so much for this video! Bindoffs are very hard for me but this one looks simple and easy! (And stretchier than the basic bindoff.)

[@lschue]

Your so welcome! I know this bind off will work for you!! It really is the easiest and looks great! Thank you! ❤

[@charlotteberry667]

This cast off worked amazingly!! Thank you for sharing. I will use this every time I make a blanket

[@lschue]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate hearing that!

[@sassegranny4700]

This is the best bind out to date. I have to try this one on my next blanket project.

[@lschue]

Thank you! I have never had this bind off fail. Very easy!

[@marianneeatscrackers1547]

Incredible video! I’m relatively new to making blankets on looms so this video was very helpful! My mom works a full time job and since school started I haven’t had time for her to teach me this stuff, so thanks a bunch for this video!!

You did great; your video was clear and easy to understand! Thank you for sharing!! I’m always nervous about the bind off, and this video will help. I love your work!! I’m about to start my 2nd blanket and trying to decide which of your patterns to choose.

[@ByBara]

Thank you. I am about to finish my blanket and wanted to make sure I find bind off that will work. This one is a lot like one I previously used: called stretchy bind off, but is a bit different. Gonna give yours a try :) . Which cast on did you use, if it's ok to ask? I used row of e wrap row of u knit, but this is gonna be my blanket for myself so I don't care if cast on and bind off really match.

[@lschue]

Your Welcome! I always use a chain cast on followed by 1 row of uknit to help keep the cast on snug and not sloppy looking. Your first row in your pattern may be alittle tighter than normal but will be fine on the 2nd row. You can also find my video on “garter stitch borders” that one will show you the cast on and how I do it. Very easy!

[@lschue]

The biggest difference in my bind off… I do not remove any loops until I’m completely done the bind off!!!

[@ByBara]

@@lschue Oooh thank you. Yeah, if I remember right, the one I used had yarn go behind peg and yours go in front. I see in video it once went behind peg by accident, unsure how much of an difference it really makes. Well anyway, I followed your video and blanket turned out fine. Thanks.

[@ByBara]

@@lschue Oooh got it. Well I tend to stick to simplest things so chain cast on that I have done once was pretty demanding so I kinda stopped doing it. But in case I get to be making something for somebody else might follow your advice and do it like it instead :) .

[@lschue]

@@ByBara Yes I did accidentally have it go behind one of the pegs… It didn’t really show… but I have other videos with that bind off on as well where I did it all correctly! 🤣

[@skyfairchild4070]

When I bind off for a flat panel blanket the end I binded off is very narrow and the ends are pocketing will this make it be the same length and size as the end I casted on ?

[@lschue]

Absolutely! Do not remove any loops till your all the way done your bind off… I have another video on this same bind off.. check that one out as well before you get started. Remember to take your time and try not to be interrupted. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHK6loqnpa54grs

[@skyfairchild4070]

@@lschue thank you so much

[@cindy3178]

Love it, do you have a cast on you recommend?

[@lschue]

Yes. I always do the chain cast on (also some call it crochet cast on). I do it the same as Deborah Shaw does in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH-1iIyDjbqfZqs

Hi larua Can you please put your pattern on you what you done for your blanket

[@lschue]

This is just a sample swatch to show how I bind off flat knitting projects. All my patterns available here: www.cindwoodlooms.com/collections/laurie-schue-patterns

[@nancyb1469]

Thank you Laurie! Any tips for how to keep chenille (like premier parfait) yarn intact during this process? I've had so much trouble binding off a blanket with this yarn - by the middle of the bind off, the yarn weakens, shreds and sometimes breaks :(

[@lschue]

I know exactly what you mean!! 🥰 I’ve been there too. 😖 I made 2 beautiful blankets with Premier Parfait and got thru the agonizing bind off (like you described) only to have both blankets “worm” after washing. (Google Yarn Worming) It was so bad, I couldn’t even gift them. They are now being used to wrap up dolls and bears by my grandkids. No, I do not have any tips to bind off that type of yarn on looms with lots of pegs. The 10 stitch would probably be ok. But as for me, I will never use that yarn again…ever! I also will never use velvets. Homespun by Lion Brand is another headache. I did get thru a bind off with Homespun but you must use an even longer tail because the ends constantly fray and you need to keep trimming them off. I do not have any issues with Bernat Blanket Yarns or worsted weight yarns. Sorry I can’t give tips for you!

[@nancyb1469]

@@lschue oh my gosh! I didn't even mention my Homespun fiasco! OK well, at least it's not just me - I'll save what I have left of those yarns for other projects! Thanks so much for the reply!

[@stamac5955]

My bind off is always too tight why is this?

[@lschue]

If you’re using this bind off method it should not in any way be to tight. If it is… its because your removing loops before you complete the bind off. With this bind off, Never remove the loops till you are completely finished the bind off all the way around your project… no matter how many pegs your using.
