Icelandic Bind-off
This video demonstrates the Icelandic Bind-off.
This bind-off creates a nice decorative edge with plenty of stretch and is a great match for the Twisted German Cast-on.
Let's begin by knitting the first stitch and slipping it off your left needle (like an normal bind-off).
Then remaining stitches are bound off as follows:
1- Insert your left needle into the stitch on your right needle (knitwise) and slip it back to your left needle.
2- Insert your right needle into the first stitch on your left needle (purlwise) and then into the second stitch on the left needle (knitwise) pulling that 2nd stitch through the first stitch, proceed to knit that stitch and slip both stitches off your left needle.
Repeat until you have bound off all stitches. Cut yarn and pull through the last stitch.
I also show how to do this Bind-off by slipping the stitch back to your left needle (purlwise) instead of (knitwise).
Slipping knitwise gives an extra twist, which I feel matches the German Twisted Cast-On better.
Feel free to use whichever way suits you better.

Loose purl stitch following a knit stitch
Thank you for your tutorial, I’ve really been struggling with switching the stitches around to convert it to the 2x2 rib, and I’ve tried a number of different approaches, and after watching this, it has finally clicked 💙
I’m happy I could help
You saved me hours of tinking and reknitting. Thank you so, so much!
@@KMHess glad my video helped 👍💖
Thank you soo sooo much! ❤❤❤
I have a question about this. If you know you’re going to be doing the ribbing 2x2, why can’t you do your cable cast-on in a 2x2 fashion instead of 1x1, so you wouldn’t have all that fuss of a set-up row?
@@mikkiwachtel2870 I have tried to cast on 2 knits and 2 purls using this technique and the cast on edge has an odd twist to it. I prefer casting on and swapping the stitches which gives a much nicer cast on edge. I would love to hear if you know of a technique that casts on in 2 x 2 rib.
how to pick up dropped stitches for the entire row ? I did not use a lifeline and it hurts to know that i have to re-do it
That’s gorgeous!!!!!!! Was looking for a simple Lacey stitch so will be using this. Thanks for the tutorial.
I know this isn’t entirely relevant to this video. But I love your channel and figured it was worth a shot to see if you could answer a question I had about Italian bind offs for a neckline? I’ve been searching endlessly for information on this, but I’m wondering if there’s any way to do an Italian bind off for knit 1, purl 2 ribbing?
I normally bind off 2 x 1 rib in pattern. Swapping the stitches doesn't work for 2 x 1.
Can this stitch be done in the round, an if so, what differences need to occur in the instructions to allow the offset of the openings fr. Om row to row?
I rarely work in the round and haven't tried the fishnet stitch in the round.
Your videos are so easy to understand. Thank you for sharing.
Literal lifesaver!!! 😭 💕
Thank you, I'd figured out how to do it from the back side but in some ways this is easier even if It is doing purls. I don't know why but I keep dropping those purls somewhere, I think on the back side, and this is just what I was looking for!
Muchas gracias por compartirlo, eres muy amable 🌷
Thank you! I did this years ago, and didn't remember what it was called or how to do it specifically. When replacing other cast on methods you cast on half the number of total stitches don't you?
Yes half the stitches are required.
My pattern explains how to work in the round. You can also check out Roxanne Richardson for great tutorials
Thank you for great tutorial. Can you show how to do it in the round? 😊
Just want to let you know, I love this cast on. I think it is beautiful and I like having a choice besides ribbing. I’m looking forward to working this sweater pattern. Will be starting soon.
I’m so happy you like it. It does add a nice finish to the edge 👍💖
Thank you. I turned it on the wrong side so I could knit them instead. 🙏💕
Greetings from switzerland and THANK YOU💜
been looking for a pretty stitch for a project for a friend - this will do it!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so very much! Both for the purl stitch thing (revelation!) and the *extremely* clear visuals. So good!
Thank you for the visual. I'm picking up a project where I started doing the ribbing your old way, and for continuity I figured I better keep doing it. Thank you for the video 😊
Thank you very much!! Just saved my EXP Sweater!!
Glad I could help!

Thank you for this, found it very easy & the series on the Half fisherman's rib very helpful
Thanks! I'm so glad it was helpful.
Love these colours x
Thank you for letting me know. I will take note of camera angle next time.
I appreciated the tutorial, but the angle made it a bit difficult to follow! ( I had to tilt my head to the side to follow closer lol)
Omg !!! Very nice and easy stitch.... Thank you Lo Rain for the tutorial. Very easy for me to get at the purl side of the knit ❤
Thank you very helpful video!!
Thank you!!
Hi Lo! I’ve just discovered your videos and I would love to incorporate this stitch into one of my projects. I was wondering how/if this could translate into knitting in the round while keeping the holes offset? Would it work if I alternated rows starting K2 with rows starting K1? Thanks for your help!
Hi and thanks for reaching out. I had testers ask this very question and after a few attempts they all decided to work flat. The reason I have the K2 and K1 at the beginning and end of rows is 1-for seaming purposes and 2 - to off set the holes. So if you’re not seaming .. remove a knit 1 from each end of row and work a knit 1 only at the beginning of round to offset the holes. Also note that the row 1 has k2togtbl as part of the stitch. Row 2 wrong side row has purl 2tog. You wouldn’t be doing this row in the round so your fabric will look different. I have not attempted this myself because I feel seams are a crucial part of a garments structure and I prefer the drape of a garment knit flat versus in the round. Good luck!
Thank you for this video! I had a different voice in mind, I had a neighbour from Germany and she looks a bit after you, but she smoked and had a similar voice (smoked) what a relive to hear yours!😊 and now I pick up my needles and try this cast-on...
Türkçe altyazılı lütfen 🙏 Türkçe ❤teşekkürler 🙏🌺🇹🇷♥️
I'm looking for help on correcting a mistake row (eg if I did row 2 twice in a row, or row 3) --- when I frog down and take out the mistake row, I can't figure out how to start knitting again in pattern. I get a weird gap no matter
First off are you working the half fishermans rib the same way I am. Right side (K1B, P1.) Wrong Side (K all sts). If you need to frog an entire row, or by the sound of it several rows.... I would suggest frogging back to a knit row. The way I do it is.. (I don't use life lines). with the wrong side facing you and starting at the left edge, gently insert the needle through all of your stitches one at a time, being careful more stitches don't unravel from the row below... however if one does unravel place both loops on your needle and you can fix that later by following the video. As you can tell it is really hard explain to someone how to fix something without actually seeing the issue. If you haven't knit to far into the project there is always the option of starting over or inserting a life line in a row below. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Thanks so much! This helped tremendously I would not have figured it out on my own .
My Pleasure, glad I could help!!
Hi, can you please tell me how you knit your 1st and last stitch to get the v at the edge? . Thank you.
I slip the first stitch knitwise with yarn in back and purl the last stitch. I do that on every row!
@@lo_rain_knitwear Thank you
wouldn't only picking up one leg, make the stitch stretch
Actually you are picking up the back leg of the V, but also the corresponding stitch below/behind that one. Which I show in the first few steps of the video.
This is a good tutorial! I was looking for something like this for a long time. I understand how that seam gives structure, but I don’t understand how it prevents a garment from stretching. How does that work?
Once the item is blocked then you seam. Cotton yarn has no memory so it will stretch a lot. Having seams in a garment it helps to minimized the stretch. Which I thought was crucial in these pants because of the weight of them. Seams relieve the stress / pulling of the fabric.
@@lo_rain_knitwear thank you so much for the feedback!
Hi l have your channel subscribe
Thank you so much for this video! I was looking everywhere for a visual on how to finish the seam on my sweater. Super helpful!!
This was so clear and I’m going to be using this cast on for all of my sweaters. Thanks
Hey Lo Rain! I just ordered this kit through Lion Brand and am thrilled for this tutorial! It was clear and concise and I feel confident that I will have a beautiful top at the end of it all. Thank you for sharing this; it's appreciated! Take care!
New skill added to my library! Thanks 😊
Thank you for the demo. I just purchased your pattern and kit through Lion Brand. Can’t wait to get started!
Thanks for this video. It really helps.
Am learning to knit a sweater l like the way you demonstrated the neck finishing l have knitted cardigans mostly n now l need to learn v necks n round neck cardigans if possible please post a v neck finishing n round neck for cardigan l would really appreciate it thanks
Thanks for showing this. I've seen the purl stitch used in sweaters for a faux seam but never seen it actually sewn as an actual seam. This appears to me to be a superior approach. Thanks again.
Glad I could help!! A lot of patterns include them but never show how to actually create the seam and so people just leave them unfinished.
Yay! I did it!! - I've found this the best demonstration ~ super clear. Thank you 😀
Glad it helped!
