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!!!

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@maryannbrown6606]

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

[@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

[@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 :)

[@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 😊

[@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👀

[@fernandavalerio2313]

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

[@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.

[@sw33tnycandy]

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

[@cthulia]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

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

[@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! 🎉

[@maryannbrown6606]

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

[@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

[@alejandrapd1884]

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

[@faierieknotting]

hi can you tell me what camera and lens do you use for your excellent videos ? Please !!! I am starting my channel and i need to improve the video quality ! Many thanks and best wishes .

[@cindinarcisc2357]

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

[@celiagarcia-araus7841]

thank you, this saved my sweater. i love u

[@finishorforget9059]

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

[@sheepandstitch]

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

[@lolahennrich]

Sheep & Stitch where were you?

[@sheepandstitch]

Just lazy to be honest! But happy to be back!

[@NitWok]

You're back!!!!

[@sheepandstitch]

Sure am!

[@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

[@margaretshipman4414]

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

[@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!

[@miekeversteeg2601]

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

[@zzzari_]

Am i the only one who just can't make this work ? I've tried everything, icelandic bind off, ruke cast off, this one, it's always way stiffer than the regular bind off 😔😔 and no my tension isn't tight, i'm actually super loose

[@grainneocruhuir6383]

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

[@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!

[@Callmekeets]

This is everything I’ve been looking for 😩

[@vivienneclarke2421]

🤣😂🤣Been there done that with the cowl lol.....

[@sheepandstitch]

Hahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one!

[@balgrantango460]

Great video, perfect instruction, nice upbeat voice...music background totally unnecessary and possibly annoying to some.

[@kb-cf7gd]

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

[@maryannbrown6606]

Thank you for your instructions! 😊

[@maryannbrown6606]

Thank you for teaching me !

[@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!

[@stephanieadams3747]

Your video made my laugh because of the "cowl failure. " 😊 I have figured out how to do that yarn over bind off, but don't like how it's curling upwards on the outside of the sweater. :( hopefully your video helps.

[@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!

[@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.

[@lifewithscorpion]

Hlo madam u r such n amazing.....cn u pls teach how to knit a high neck sweater for begginers (for men) plssssssssssssssssssss madam its a huge rqst plssss mam.... I'll be highly obliged pls mam i wanna gift it someone

[@AV-yq6gf]

Thanks for this! Mine is looking super messy though and I keep getting little ‘bumps’ when I do the purl stitch - any ideas? Anyone else had this? 😅

[@dorinachan113]

This is not new, my mother taught me this bind off many years back and she got it from her mother. So, did people just forget about this old bind off?

[@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

[@lesliebrandt4225]

This was very clear but when I try to do this the stitches just slip off my needles and I make a mess of this. Any suggestions?

[@heidih3048]

The 1st one wasn't stretchy as much as it was floppy and "stretched-out" in appearance.

[@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!

[@sharontzu5]

Thank you! You saved Mt cowl!

[@milkjugs4771]

oh it's almost like an SSK, what's the abbreviation for this stitch?

[@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!

[@jhzjax]

Will this work to bind off purling? Need to bind off in a purl?

[@cathybeasley1103]

What do you do if you are binding off a 2x2 rib that needs to done very loosely?

[@SeanTheOriginal]

I'm gonna try this on my next project. The other "stretchy" bind off is, ironically, too damn tight. Trying to get a sweater on or off with the other method makes me feel like I'm going to snap it. At least now if that does happen I'll be able to redo it this way.

[@MT-bc6xf]

Great video. Super helpful. Thank you.

[@toniesolomon]

Hi davina what is the pattern name of the red colorwork mittens can u do a tut on them plz

[@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!

[@stitchbritt]

Perfect video thank you!

[@compass_bat]

your new subscriber is here it’s me yay

[@faizaznan811]

Can you make a video how to knit back case of phone please?

[@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.

[@sewesme4866]

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

[@Jennifer-oz8ec]

Great bind off! I knitted a cowl for a 10-year old and ended up with a 13" circumference because I misunderstood something in the pattern. This bind off looks promising. It is also simple. Your instructions are always excellent. I used chunky yarn and cast on 70 sts. I even used a swatch because I haven't been knitting for many years and my tension was perfect. Do you think I will have to unravel and start all over again with a 13" circumference? Thank you for your wonderful tutorials.

[@kablooiecat1971]

Why did mine stretch out and flared so much? 😢

[@kimzachris5340]

Huh, interesting. This is the bind-off my older sister learnt in school (in the 80’s) as the standard bind-off, while I learnt (in the 90’s) the ”knit one, pass previous stitch over, etc” as the standard bind-off. I think the flaring of the stretchier bind-off turned me off it, but maybe I’ll have to give it some more consideration. I like knitting socks from the toe up, and a stretchy cast off could be useful.

[@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!

[@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!

[@niniliu4085]

hi why is it different for rib stitches an regular?

[@maggiimora7072]

Wait how do you put it back on the needles ?????

[@barbbuteyn8800]

This is a wonderful tutorial. I will definitely subscribe and watch for your tutorials. When I use this bind off I get flaring no matter how tightly I pull the stitch. Any suggestions?

[@katicabogar24]

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

[@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.💖💖💖💖

[@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

[@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!

[@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?

[@ynnalyl6195]

I subscribed coz your amazing... happy knitting ... oh i just started knitting too..

[@xiongmaoosiris6397]

Hi, could you make a video of how knitting a mouse ? I would like to make some for cats. I'm volunteer in animal protection. Thanks

[@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.

[@lijigeorgekochakkan6425]

Can u explain how to knit an open sweater for a lady

[@videoupload6898]

do we change to knitting even if we were purling?

[@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,

[@mammbylo]

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

[@leenamunge7954]

Thanks a lot good tutorial and helpful.

[@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!!!

[@jennywa3046]

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

[@sighthound5449]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@BritClips]

You are putting the left needle into the front to knit the 2 stitches together BUT are actually knitting the 2 stitches together through the BACK loop.

[@jaswindermatharu8538]

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

[@stephaniebritz9436]

I would love and appreciate it if you can make a video on how to knit a chunky jersey. I just found your channel and I love your videos! 🤗

[@justasketch]

So if I had to bind off on a purl row, I can basically purl all the stitches together, right?

[@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!
