indeed, Nicole. I always say, in knitting there are always at least two ways to achieve the xact same. So if you struggle with one technique look for an alternative
Thanks!! Great job in explaining & showing slowly!!! I just finished using your method. I found it difficult in terms of the crochet book & yarn. I was knitting a blanket in bulky yarn US11 needles. The crochet book I bought seemed thicker than my needles & was a struggle getting the book into the stitch. Not sure if I should have used smaller book but came out great. Holding yarn in left hand was hard but I think more to do with arthritis. But I really liked how I could actually see what I were doing & going slow. Thanks!!
So, for us "hookers" who are learning to knit, this would be the equivalent to a "slip stitch" through 2 loops in US terms or "single crochet" in European terms (I think....not 100% as certain with the EU terms). I remember my Grandma teaching me this as a way to bind off when I was a teenager. However, it took watching this video to remember. :D (The JOYS of having MS!) :\ Thanks for the reminder. :)

Being a crocheter first, this is definitely a much easier option for me! It’s basically slip stitching the edging to bind off. Ty for sharing
Isn't it surprising to have so many ways to achieve the same result.

Stupid question from a new knitter: is this done exactly the same when knitting in the round on cables?
yes :)
you might look up how to graft a stitch to bridge the gap in a super invisible way tho!
Thank you ❤
Is there any advantage or best use suggestion. More stretchy? Less stretchy? Better or worse seaming? More bulky or any less bulky?
this is the same as the standard bind-off. so use thism ethod if you are more nimble with a crochet hook, I guess :)
This method of bind off seems quicker than the standard knitted bindoff for stockinette stitch. Thanks.
You are so welcome!
