STRETCHY BIND OFF for Beginners (game changing!)

FULL BLOG POST here: sheepandstitch.com/library/ho...
In this video I'll show you how to knit a stretchy bind off.
A stretchy bind off is one of the most versatile and useful skills to have in your knitting arsenal. Stretchy bind offs are perfect for ribbings on sleeves, necklines, hats and socks where stretch is needed to accommodate a hand, head or foot.
Thankfully a stretchy bind off is not difficult to do at all. In this video I'll show you two ways to knit a stretchy bind off step by step.

I love your videos! You are a great teacher. I always forget how to do the stretchy bind off and always come back to this video for help. PLEASE DON'T EVER DELETE IT!!!

[@blairyuen2378]

This was soooo helpful! The best tutorial on the stretchy bind-off! So detailed but also upbeat and cheerful. My knitted piece now has a super stretchy bind-off! Thanks!!!

[@meloc3922]

Wow!! This is incredible. My jumper neckline was just like your cowl. I didn’t stand a chance of it going over my head. Tried it your way and it’s perfect. Thank you so so much. God bless you

[@maryannbrown6606]

Thanks So Much for your instructions! Love the stretchy bind off! 🥰🥰🥰

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

Davina girl! You're Back!!!! I always loved that stretchy bind off when I was knitting too cause yeah, I would bind off way too tightly! hee hee lol

[@sheepandstitch]

Hey Kim! Thanks so much! I love following your card creations on Instagram! Hope you're staying safe during this time!

[@shelleyhooper4701]

I’ve been trying a stretchy bind off for a special item, and frogged constantly as they all looked so messy. So thanks very much for this very clear tutorial, neat and stretchy. Very happy 😊

[@maryannbrown6606]

Thank you So Much for your instructions on stretchy bind off! I like it much more than traditional bind off! Thank Thank you ! 💕💕😊😊

[@cthulia]

The most understandable video on a stretchy bind off that I could find! Thank you so much!

[@glennspohn5534]

You really are a wonderful teacher. You not only explain what you are doing but show it as well. You also go nice and slow and repeat it which helps. Thank you.

[@alejandrapd1884]

Love the video & I’m really happy you’re back!! Hope you and love ones are safe! Please keep posting! 🧺

[@celiagarcia-araus7841]

thank you, this saved my sweater. i love u

[@sw33tnycandy]

I definitely needed this. Previously I was using extended single crochet as my bind off. This looks cleaner to me. Thank you!

[@sparksfilmss]

ooh! I should try this one the next time I cast off! by the way, thanks for all your videos and tutorials. I learned how to knit and went from being an absolute beginner to knitting up projects in no time! I've made quite a few hats using your pattern on straight needles already :)

[@chtitmog]

I really love your videos - you are an amazing teacher!! And yes, this bind-off is totally game changing. Thank you very much! 💚💙💗

[@sheepandstitch]

You're very welcome! It was absolutely game-changing when I discovered it!

[@Knit2stitching]

This is soooo good to know! I just finished my first scarf and the bind off did seem tight. Thanks so much for your videos. I first learned to knit using your videos.

[@flo.garner]

hey sis, i just learn to knit and your channel is the first place i go to and so far has the best well explained step by step 😘 just finished my 2x2 rib stitch with this bind off and it turns out soo stretchy 💕 hope you will make more knitting videos in the near future

[@AbysseJNY]

Omg I just finished knitting a high waisted short and the bind off was so perfect by using this method ! Thank you so much !

[@Dindasayswhynot]

That was helpful. Thanks.

[@Redroo11]

OMG This is so awesome and helpful! I'm knitting with very loopy yarn and every other stretchy bind off I tried failed miserably. Your teaching technique is professional, personable and fun! Thank you thank you thank you! (ps love your adorable nails.)

[@beckyly5299]

Thank you so much for this!! I have been trying to figure out a better bind off for my knitted blanket and I didn’t like how tight the traditional bind off was! I was worried it would be hard but this was so easy thank you thank you! 🎉

[@margaretshipman4414]

Thank you for this tuitorial. My necks were too tight when casting off normally. This makes such a huge difference.

[@IsmiFarha]

Thank you so much! This video saved me! My great aunt passed away many years ago and had pieces of a sweater she knit, but it needed to be sewn together and have a collar added. After finally thinking I finished the sweater and trying it on, I literally had the same moment as you where I couldn't fit my head in! I of course panicked, but after redoing it with the stretchy bind-off, now it fits perfectly!

[@vijibhatt6139]

Thank you so much. I worked on my circular knit cowl for more than a day binding off atleast 12 times. Your method really worked.

[@kb-cf7gd]

This video is perfect timing as I'm just finishing a project. Thanks!

[@Javaman92]

Ah, hi. 😁 Yeah, so I've been isolated at a campground in Georgia for a month and a young woman who, with her husband were also stuck there. (sunny and 80s) But she could do amazing things with some yarn. I figured, I'm bored, this is creative and cool. I'll give it a shot. Your videos were, by a good margin the best. I'd noticed that you'd not done a video in a while so I was pleased to see you today. I'm still a total noob, but I can cast on like nobody's business! 🤣

[@sheepandstitch]

Heya! So glad to hear that you've started knitting! And what a nice thing for your camp buddies to share knitting with you! Thanks so much for your kind comment, and happy knitting!

[@fernandavalerio2313]

That’s WONDERFUL!! Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing video!!

[@stevespenceryu9371]

Great Video! Please make more videos, this is where I learned how to knit and I'd like to learn more from you! Stay Safe! (P.S: I'm an 11 year old boy who knits so yeah, hope to see more videos so I can use up all of my yarn to buy new yarn 😂) Please make more videos!

[@rwarren51]

Wow, finally someone explained this in a way I can understand (being dyslexic doesn't help following directions, ha!). I have destroyed many a cowls before I found this today. Now I am eager to try again. Thank you!

[@juanitarandall4181]

I think I've got it, I have been doing half of what I remembered, now it makes sense. Thank you for clarifying what to do in a way that I could understand it.💖💖💖💖

[@grainneocruhuir6383]

Revolutionary! I’ve literally never know how to stop the cast of from being tight as all hell!

[@alexhodgson5301]

Im so glad you are back. I am a new knitter and I have been watching your videos. They are so clear and easy to follow. Thank you 😊

[@sheepandstitch]

Aw thanks for watching! I’m glad the videos help you out!

[@sighthound5449]

Subscribed after seeing just this one video. Demystifies technique ...clear, concise and well presented. I look forward to seeing more.

[@blastoff2022]

Where has this video been all my life?-I can’t thank you enough!!!! This is sooooo excellent! 🙂

[@sheepandstitch]

Aww thank you! Glad it helped!

[@MrAsingh1989]

Thank you for your help!!! You have awesome tutorial videos.. I love how you explain everything using easy-to-understand analogies. You seem to be a very intelligent person in other parts of your life. Keep up the good work!

[@DuongPhamThuy]

Omg I absolutely fell in love with you the first time I found your video. Love your wittiness and the quality of all the videos. Keep it up!!!

[@cindinarcisc2357]

Love your tutorial so easy to follow you’re very good at this!

[@melissaspradley8901]

Yay! I’m glad to see a new video from you! I recently bought a batch of yarn to support my LYS during these closures that I think will work for the raglan sweater pattern. I’m thinking I won’t actually start it till later this summer though. It’s just too hot in Texas to think about sweaters!

[@jenna-hm7xp]

you’re back!!! YES!

[@LisaSmith-ql2ry]

This was brilliant! I knitted a hat but it was too short so added a few more rows but when I did a normal bind off and then tried in rib, the hat wouldn’t go on. Not one to give up, I found this video and it worked. I’m feeling very pleased with how it turned out so thank you for sharing this brilliant tip/technique

[@flyingcloud9253]

Nicely done!!!! Thank you, I am always looking to increase my knitting technique and you are such a good teacher! Your video shots are so easy to observe along with your vocal instructions.

[@sheepandstitch]

Thanks for your kind comment! Glad you found the video helpful!

[@miekeversteeg2601]

This is a very stretchy, easy and quick bond off. Thank you

[@khalifag.2931]

[@sharonhiggins1221]

Thanks Davina!! You always have such great videos, and this was another one for my toolbox. Much appreciated!😁

[@sheepandstitch]

You're so welcome! Thanks so much for watching!

[@taraconroy6631]

Excellent demonstration thank you so much Davina!

[@alexiareyes3914]

You just saved my first chunky sweater!!! I just couldn't cast off the neck without it being 0% stretchy 😭

[@safyamostafa9124]

Thanks Sofia from Egypt

[@ThePockyMonster]

You could say she really… saved your neck👀

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

Thank you so much. I’m using a yarn with two strands of color and the other demonstration were having me slip through the back, which was too hard and made a mess of the yarn. This is so much easier.

[@maryannbrown6606]

Thank you for teaching me !

[@user-in1fu1cq2f]

Thanks so much for this - just tried it on my ribbed sweater and it’s amazing!! How did I never know this before?

[@bsfb3ar]

I enjoy your tutorial sooo much , You should be a great comedian.

[@MKPattyLucio]

It works!! Thanks a million!!

LOL at the intro. BRILLIANT class thanks xx

[@yotjha]

I literally messed up mine bcs i didn't watch till the end 😂 i was doing rib stitch for a sock and bind off the first normal way. This is why it's important to watch till the end, thank you for the tutorial!! So helpful

[@sewesme4866]

Super Awesome video!!!! Learned a very important stretch stitch!!! Thank you!! So glad I'm subscribed to your channel!!!

[@shireenhall318]

Wow, tremendous improvement on my tight neckband. Many thanks for making it so easy

[@sheepandstitch]

Great to hear!

[@IngerJDenny]

Thank you so much for this!!

[@TonnySaylor]

super cute nail polish!

[@delakranjec6764]

Perfect for what I needed - thanks!

[@nortom12]

Thank you, for sharing this technique with us. I am binding off a twisted rib and I wanted something stretchy. You make it look easy. ❤️🧶

[@Callmekeets]

This is everything I’ve been looking for 😩

[@rumblestruttersmith3666]

Great video and I subscribed! I knit left-handed Continental, so it took me a couple of viewings of the video and frequent stops.

[@katherinehumphrey9432]

awesome! really clear instructions, thank you!

[@AdeanerFerreira]

Omg!! You’re back!!!

[@sheepandstitch]

I am! Hi!! 👋

[@sharontzu5]

Thank you! You saved Mt cowl!

[@ilovejack100]

Thanks so much for this. I'm trying to knit undergarments and super stretchy is just what I need, as well as the other women I know (don't tell them I said that, lol). Stay well,

[@jcyoshi]

Please do more videos! You are amazing!!!

[@Hawthornefae]

It was so awkward trying to k2tog that I switched to a crochet hook in my right hand. I didn't have the same size as my knitting needles, but I used a haf size down and kept it loose. So much easier!

[@annescanapico7168]

This is excellent, thank you

[@sohappytosew1082]

I LOVE your videos! You're a riot! 🤣🤣🤣

[@sheepandstitch]

I'm glad you think so! I was worried it was a bit "too much" haha

[@stitchbritt]

Perfect video thank you!

[@sashao1990]

Thank you!

[@sueyous]

Thank you 💖

[@bizzyandbart]

This is perfect thanks! Just made my first jumper and the waste cast off is too tight! Going to get it back on my needles and give this a go

[@leenamunge7954]

Thanks a lot good tutorial and helpful.

[@lilouthecoolest]

You haved posted in ages! YOU'RE BACK

[@sheepandstitch]

Aw thanks! Yeah I"m back haha. I hope to post more frequently too :D

[@celiajean7093]

Love this cast/bind off and your videos! It seems like I can also use this method to cast off in pattern with the last stitch being the deciding element for either a knit or purl cast off stitch (if that made sense). I am open to correction. Thank you!

[@janebaymar1888]

I'd love to have a tutorial for a turtleneck sweater! I can't find a good one anywhere 😅

[@haris8853]

you can simply follow any sweater pattern and create your own neckband. The pattern would already give instructions but just keep going until you've reached your desired length

[@sy2.083]

Perfect! Ty

[@gracethome6959]

thank you SO MUCH omgg

[@occasionallyalice4931]

So helpful thank you!

[@pinkishhaven5158]
