Icelandic Cast On & Bind Off

[@LisettedeBoer-v7p]

Thank you, this is a gem for garter edges. If you use a crochet hook you don't need to put the loop on the needle after pulling a loop between the two stitches. Even faster.

[@countrykind1]

I truly appreciate when skilled knitters share their knowledge. Videos are so helpful. Thank you!!

I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any help you can give me

[@houstonzechariah3094]

@James Dayton thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@houstonzechariah3094]

@James Dayton It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass !

@Houston Zechariah you are welcome xD

🌸💕🌸 Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! What a superb teacher you are! Lovely voice, too!!!…AND 2 lessons in ONE!

[@sdseokjinnie]

I just learned Icelandic bind off and was hoping there was a good matching cast on. Thank you!!

[@onthelamb6980]

This is genius! I tried to figure something out to match the icelandic bind off after I found it a couple of years ago and just could not wrap my mind around how to make a similar cast on. This is perfection!

[@kjctubestuff]

This has become my go-to CO for many projects. ❤ It provides a lovely, substantial beginning & best of all, no worries about not having enough or too much yarn with a longtail CO. Thank you! 🌻

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

So glad you like it!

[@EverythingsOrange]

Thank you for this! I've worked out a way to do this with the tail and then knit across with the working yarn to blend in with garter stitch. It looks so good. You could do it with the working yarn and then purl all the garter but I like what I've created from your video, thanks.

[@magpielmnn5319]

Just learned and loved the cast off and was looking for a cast on to match- thank you!!

[@RhondaVallely]

Thank you Patty. I have long used the Icelandic Bind Off. I love how this CO matches it. You are brilliant

[@allaboutyarn8240]

This looks like a perfect match to me. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@carlawoodward7678]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m starting to make some headbands for my grands and this will make such a nice edge!

[@Anna.GG.]

Dear Miss Patty, thanks so much for this fantastic technique I never heard of before. I tried it and am surprised at how easy it is. Just subbed! 👍😊😊 By the way, your channel was a YT recommendation 😍

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

I made it up!

[@hanhvuong8898]

What a beautiful style.

[@snckrs1048]

I love the look of this cast on and bind off. I have the Sitcom Chic cardigan pattern that this will be perfect for.

[@jimmersgal]

You have an AMAZING MIND! Fabulous! Thank you!

[@marshafleming4165]

the question as I watch the video again... what if I work a project with the cast on and bind off then pick up stitches on the sides and do the bind off... I think that that might be a nice edging for a textured baby blanket or an afghan or hmmm ideas go on...

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

oooh, swatch on!!!

[@yettaoshea8869]

Nice! I’m seeing the cast on and bind off in done in a contrast color to bring attention to it.

[@Casey-ip7ug]

I have to try this!!. Thanks for sharing this gem.

[@TangibleTania]

*BEAUTIFUL!* I love the Icelandic bind off and I am amazed at the matching cast on! Do you find the cast on to be nice and stretchy? (totally subscribed!)

[@AR........]

i wish i had found this two weeks ago. i'm almost finished with a cowl that i decided i want an icelandic bind off for but i couldnt find anything that matched so i decided to use a provisional caston and bind off both sides at the end. this wouldve saved me soooooooo much time 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@tracireed2750]

Very nicely done! Thank you!

[@anitakowarick9169]

Brilliant. Thank you!

[@barbarayarde8488]

This is great🎉. Thank you

[@nikkiblum8657]

You down size the needle for the cast on. Do you do anything up or down for the bind off. I was looking for a different edge to the Linen stitch scarf that tends to curve instead of laying perfectly straight -- at least for me.

[@barbaragilchrist1794]

Is there a simple method for tinking the Icelandic bind off? Mine is too tight. I’m finding it finicky to take it out.

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

If you follow me on Instagram you'll find many mini videos. I did one on the difference between a modified passover and the icelandic bind off. I show unraveling them both - instagram.com/reel/Cwcut0CsnP2/

[@barbaragilchrist1794]

@@PattyLyonsKnitting Much appreciation!

[@vanessawhippo6964]

Wonderful! Thank you.

[@johamlett27]

When I cast on for knitting in the round I like to cast on an extra stitch to join. Would I be able to do that with this cast on?

[@nataliebechmann939]

Looks like a great match! Is it stretchy?

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

yup

[@nataliebechmann939]

Brilliant! Thank you😊

[@allnaturalnutknitting4272]

Pretty! How stretchy is it, so I know when to use it?

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

That depends on the knitter & the yarn. How do we find out if we want to use something we swatch. Cast on with the yarn you want to use and give it a try

[@marshafleming4165]

A very nice alternative if you don’t want the bulkiness of a I cord

[@gilliantherese7202]

I love the Icelandic bind off, I'll now try the Icelandic cast on...thank you. Do you know of a good bind off to go with the Chinese waitress cast on? :-)

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

I'd have to look at it again. I remember not being in love with that cast on as I thought it was a whole lot of trouble (many moves for one stitch) for something that didn't look as nice as many other cast ons. I'd probably do some variation of a 1/2 double crochet bind off.

[@gilliantherese7202]

@@PattyLyonsKnitting really? I love the way the Chinese waitress cast on looks, especially with basic brioche; I don't find it too fiddly at all...but trying to find a cast off for it has been a challenge.

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

@@gilliantherese7202 Oh, it looks fine, it just takes 3 moves to get one stitch on the needle and there are so many other cast ons (like this one) that create a lovely edge w/o so much fuss. I'll give it another try, just didn't like doing it.

[@gilliantherese7202]

@@PattyLyonsKnitting I understand, thanks for getting back to me. :-)

[@bozviolin]

Nice! I like it.

[@Mizulina5]

Can you use this cast on and bind off when knitting in the round?

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

Sure, just like any rounded edge cast on and bind off, you'll use the tail to join to smooth it out.

[@Mizulina5]

@@PattyLyonsKnitting Thank you, Patty!

[@annevogel4169]

Does anyone know if there is a crochet edging that looks similar to the knitted Icelandic bind off?

How do I unknit/tink an Icelandic bind off??

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

pull out the yarn and then lift one loop over the other, pull, repeat.

[@user-fc3sx2cw5x]

@@PattyLyonsKnitting should I follow the exact instructions in the video if I were binding off a twisted rib? Because I’m following the video exactly for my twisted rib but my Icelandic bind off is turning out not stretchy almost at all. Why?

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

@@user-fc3sx2cw5x I'm afraid I can't analyze your knitting technique via a comment. Try a larger needle if you are having trouble with your tension.

Bind off at 4:08.
