This tutorial shows you a simply trick to achieve these perfectly sloped bind-off edges when you want to knit the armholes of a sweater, and so on. The problem with a standard bind-off: You knit one additional row and you can only ever bind-off ever second row. As a result, you always end up with 2 intermission rows between each bind-off level and this is what creates the stairs. To avoid this, you simply have to slip stitches!

Nearly 50 years and finally this! Thank you!!!

Io ho 67 anni ,mia mamma faceva gli scalfi belli come lei insegna e non con i gradini e a mia .ammazza aveva insegnato mia nonna

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

I usually choose to do short rows over the shoulders to avoid the steps, but this is a great way to follow the pattern and still avoid steps. THANKS !

[@dianelakata1308]

Agreed with the short rows but this is a great option

[@KristinaL1698]

I’ve been knitting for 55 years and have never heard of this. What a game changer! Thank you for sharing!

[@konigskind340]

Love this method. Thank you very much from Germany

[@circleofice]

Have been knitting for 65 years. Always been annoyed by the staircase, especially when you have to insert a sleeve. The seam easily gets bumpy. Wow! Amazing. Thank you from 🇩🇰

[@Leanansidhe23]

I love all your "make it neat" advise! amazing how many advanced/complicated/expensive patterns pay no attention to neatness.

[@lifelearner47]

This couldn't come at a better time! I'm just about to start a neckline, and I always have a problem with stairs! Now I'm going to practice that on a swatch until I'm confortable, then apply to my WIP. Thank you so much.

[@debracisneroshhp2827]

After 60 years of ending each neckline with crocheting sc. to hide the jagged line, I learned something new. No jagged lines to cover up. Thank you very much, so smart.

[@XXXkazeXXX]

Es ist toll, Instruktionvideos auf fremde Sprache zu gucken, nicht verstehen und gleichzeitig (fast) alles verstehen 😀 Aber Häkelnvideos auf Koreanisch oder Portugiesisch sind ganz schwierig 😂

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

kiitos terveisiä suomesta..💚

[@jade631]

Oh, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! 😘I have been knitting for about 50 years now and have ALWAYS been annoyed at the "staircase" that has become when you decrease the sleeves. It becomes so much more difficult to get a nice (invisible) seam when sewing together sleeves and front, back piece.😊

[@ruthswarthout1115]

Hello Norman. I have just watched your slope bind off which was very good. I was wondering if you do a similar tutorial for Shaping.

Çok güzel bir yöntem. Bunu bize öğrettiğin için çok teşekkür ederim. Oyuntuların merdiven gibi şekli hiç içime sinmiyordu. Kolu birleştirmek için dikerken çok zorluk çekiyordum. Tekrar teşekkürler. Videonuzu kardeşime de gönderiyorum.
