STRETCHY BIND OFF for Beginners (game changing!)

[@joann5157]

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!!!

[@blair2378]

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

[@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.

[@cthulia]

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

[@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 😊

[@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!

[@maryannbrown6606]

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

[@margarethouse8989]

You knit like me! These are the only videos that I have found in our knitting style, definitely be watching more - hooray!

[@sw33tnycandy]

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

[@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.

[@kathleenstaruski7014]

I missed this channel sooo much I’m so happy for a new video

[@sheepandstitch]

Aw thanks! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video!

[@adogwithinternetaccess5334]

I totally agree. I thought this was one of those channels that got left behind but thank God that's not the case!

[@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!

[@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!

[@maryannbrown6606]

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

[@alejandrapd1884]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@annafranklin6568]

I missed you! This is just what I needed for a friend's legwarmers :)

[@sheepandstitch]

Aww thanks! I'm glad to be back!

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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! 🎉

[@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

[@grainneocruhuir6383]

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

[@margaretshipman4414]

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

[@NitWok]

You're back!!!!

[@sheepandstitch]

Sure am!

[@kb-cf7gd]

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

[@fernandavalerio2313]

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

[@geraldineboyd-cronogue3865]

Thank you❤ fir the stretchy bind off, saved my embarrassment, with my grandauggters hat, you are a fabulous teacher x

[@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!

[@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.

[@judytergis8343]

Thanks, I've bookmarked this video and referred to it many times when I need a stretchy bind off and forgot how to do it.

[@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.)

[@cindinarcisc2357]

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

[@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!

[@kathbeattie5513]

Love your tutorial. Clear and easy to understand.☺

[@miekeversteeg2601]

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

[@finishorforget9059]

Absolutely love this channel . Fantastic presentation of skills and fun to watch.

[@sheepandstitch]

Aww thanks so much! I appreciate your kind words :D

[@bsfb3ar]

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

[@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.💖💖💖💖

[@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

[@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.

[@IuliaBlaga]

thank you so much for this! I am very new to knitting and i ended up using a crochet hook to do this technique but it worked so well!

[@celiammmsam]

thank you, this saved my sweater. i love u

[@sighthound5449]

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

[@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!!!

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

This is a good tutorial. For some reason, I thought this would be harder.

[@shireenhall318]

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

[@sheepandstitch]

Great to hear!

[@SheilaJones-s3u]

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

[@lauriewurster3022]

That was perfect! I make a lot of sweaters and when I get to the end I have a tight bond off on My sleeve and neck A great solution thanks 😊

[@angelakurthausen2087]

LOL at the intro. BRILLIANT class thanks xx

[@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👀

[@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!

[@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

[@mammbylo]

omg I love your tutorials, your knitting method is so different than mine, but I always have a goooooood laughs watching you!

[@CashewPaul]

I’m glad you’re back with another tutorial. A great video as always. I have learned so much from you. Thanks!

[@sheepandstitch]

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@thetruecookie8115]

Thank you. You have saved my sweater project

[@Callmekeets]

This is everything I’ve been looking for 😩

[@jennywa3046]

Very helpful video, easy to follow and works brilliantly. ❤️ Thanks

[@stayysid]

You're baaaackk!!!! ♥️

[@jaswindermatharu8538]

You are awesome really helps to solve the cast off stretchy well done 👍 🇬🇧❤️🤗🙋‍♀️

[@sewesme4866]

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

[@taraconroy6631]

Excellent demonstration thank you so much Davina!

[@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

[@jenna-hm7xp]

you’re back!!! YES!

[@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,

[@annafranklin6568]

I thought I was the only one who used nail clippers for cutting the end of the yarn 😅😅 I love the little quirks of the knitting community

[@or8174]

Life changing-!!! I used it to bind off sweater neck

[@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

[@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

[@maryannbrown6606]

Thank you for your instructions! 😊

[@TonnySaylor]

super cute nail polish!

[@AdeanerFerreira]

Omg!! You’re back!!!

[@sheepandstitch]

I am! Hi!! 👋

[@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.

[@siaa9569]

Davina, this tip is awesome... thank you 🤗

[@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!

[@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!

[@colettelaplante5749]

Best video. Easy to follow and repeat. Thanks

[@ms89012]

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!

[@katicabogar24]

I’m here because that’s me at 0:10 this morning with a new turtleneck 🤣 [edit: OMG this is game changer!!!]

[@fionafairechild6272]

It is game changing! I usually use a larger needle to bind off but this.....😸🌸

[@sheepandstitch]

It truly is game-changing! Enjoy!

[@delakranjec6764]

Perfect for what I needed - thanks!

[@maryannbrown6606]

Thank you for teaching me !

[@ginagee5627]

I thought I was the only person to use toe nail clippers to cut my yarn lol! Thanks for this!

[@aliencatmeow]

You're back aaaaaah!

[@sheepandstitch]

I am! Hi! What do you want to learn about next?

[@aliencatmeow]

@@sheepandstitch More knittings pls. Maybe something with cats?

[@ConsultorioPodologicoSantaCruz]

It works!! Thanks a million!!

[@jcyoshi]

Please do more videos! You are amazing!!!

[@martinesimmons5044]

Thank you. Your binding off is so stretchy, I love it… but I have a beginner’s question about picking up stitches around the neck. How should I do it so it is as stretchy as your binding off? Thank you! again!

[@sharontzu5]

Thank you! You saved Mt cowl!

[@dinahhughes7020]

Genius! I’ve just used this to cast off the neck on a sweater in rib, I’d had to rip it back as the cast off was so tight, your method really works, thanks so much!

[@sheepandstitch]

So glad it worked for you!

[@compass_bat]

your new subscriber is here it’s me yay

[@barbarakayton1921]

I started this bind off on the piece I am finishing (you are so much easier to follow than many others out there!). I realized too late I did not have enough yarn, so I am about a quarter way in on my bind off. I have to buy an entirely different yarn, because the yarn I have is discontinued. I can’t figure out how to tink back this particular bind off. Do you have a video on how to do it? Thanks!

[@katherinehumphrey9432]

awesome! really clear instructions, thank you!

[@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. ❤️🧶

[@MT-bc6xf]

Great video. Super helpful. Thank you.

[@nobleelf]

Dang, that's easy-peasy!!
