I love how you explain the mechanics behind the bind-off - how each stitch is gone through three times, it's what made me remeber the entire process, thank you!
You have the best videos! Each step is always demonstrated so clearly. It makes everything so much easier to understand! You’re an excellent teacher. Thank you!
Currently have the first sock of a pair on my two circulars, toe up. Will use this bind off. Fun to try new things! Thanks for such an excellent video. I appreciate : 1) no background music to compete with voice 2) straight forward directions given in a simple direct manner 3) well lit and clear view of close up knitting. Very professionally done, almost like a classroom experience. Thank you.
Thank you very much, I will need this for close-fitting necklines in the near future, and it's nice and clear and I will know exactly what I'm doing. 🙂
Thank you. I have tried too many supposedly ‘stretchy’ bind offs on my socks and had to rip undone because not stretchy enough for my sock or else it looked too flared and unattractive. This The Sewn Bind Off is perfect 👍 thank you 🙏
Thank you for this! For some reason I had it in my head that the sewn bind off would be complicated. You make it seem so simple, I should have checked it out a long time ago. thanks as always!
Yahoo!!! Finally got to try it (The Sewn Bindoff). Had to make some socks first. Fantastic! All my previous stretchy bindings still bound. I could feel the right band of binding off until the sock was on - then it was fine. The Sewn Bindoff doesn't do that. It's perfect. And looks nice,too. Thanks for such a clear description and teaching style. It will be my go-to.
Oh gosh thank you for this. My last afghan ended up less stretchy on the bind off edge and it really bothered me. I just bound off my newest afghan and it’s perfect, straight, no flare, neat and stretchy!
The timing of this is perfect. I just agreed to make some knitted slipper/boot things and it has a piece around the calf and this will make sure it stretches just as nicely on the top as the bottom. Gorgeous!
I have seen this bind off before, but somehow you make it so easy to understand and to remember! Thank you! I watched your grafted bind off video, too. I had seen other videos on this technique, but yours makes it simple and memorable. I will definitely be using these bind offs now! :)
As always, another very helpful video! I was looking for a stretchy bind off for a garter stitch cowl, which I presume will be better to pass through the head, thank you so much for sharing!
I'm really not sure. I'd have to experiment to figure it out. I would suggest knitting up a couple of swatches and seeing how it works using the leading leg vs not.
@@RoxanneRichardson I see I see, im working on a beanie rn (the same one as the character on my profile picture, flower and all). which doesn't require a bind off, so it gonna be a while until i can experiment. PS. I love your tutorials so much, they are perfect for my style of learning. Greeting from Thailand!
Possibly, if the opening and ribbing itself is able to stretch over the head. V-necks, cardigans, and buttoned shoulders are often used for babies and toddlers sweaters, because their heads are so large in proportion to the rest of their bodies.
That depends on what you need from your bind off, in terms of utility and aesthetics. Not all edges need to be that stretchy; in some cases, they need to be firm. Only you can answer the question about aesthetics when it comes to your own projects. I don't think I've ever encountered a technique that I would could consider the best choice in all situations.

What a great bind off, and perfectly explained and demonstrated too! Thank you. You continue to be the best knitting guide on the internet.
Roxanne is going straight to heaven for having selflessly gifted we knitters, a wealth of knowledge ❤️ thank you so much for all you do!

Thank you Roxanne, I needed to see the mechanics of this bind-off in the round, your instructional videos are very much appreciated.

Yes! This is exactly what I need to learn. I am surprised at how easy it looks. Thank you so very much - this makes a big difference.
Thank you - great alternative for someone like me, who just can't do a regular bind off. :)
Thank you so much. You are an amazing teacher. You simplify and provide information where it is needed. Much much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
Dear Roxanne, you are genius !!!
Thank you for another helpful tutorial.❤I am looking for a stretchy bind off for neck ribbing and will try this on my next sweater.
I came back because I need this now!

Wonderful! There are two other types of sewn bind offs that are just as stretchy!
@@RoxanneRichardson I'll look on your Ravelry page and hunt them down. Thanks
@@dr.evelynsharp2351 There's a playlist on my channel called Sewn Bind Offs. :-)

Very interesting and totally new to me, so thank you. Videos are top-notch.
That is brilliant! Thanks Roxanne!

Always impressive! Thank you!
🥰 Thank you your videos are always so helpful
Thanks Roxanne, I will definitely use this method. 😊
Always informative. Always amazing. Thanks Roxanne!
Excellent work thank you mam
Going to try this bind off for the fingering weight 2x2 ribbed sweater sleeve cuff.
Wonderful as always! Thank you 😊

I like this idea....will definitely be trying it.
Awesome! I will give this a try on my next project. Thank you!
Ooo thanks for this technique ‼️
Ruth Dennis Thanks for sending me this link. I like it.
Wow thank you! I needed this
You're so welcome!
Excellent
Perfect timing, been wanting to try a different bind off , stretchy but very little flare
In midst of using this cast off on my shawl as instructed BUT it looks like it's going to roll!!!!!
This is FANTASTIC! Thank you. ❤️🌸🌼🌻
Excellent! Thank you!
AMAZING VIDEO! Can this also be applied to a k1p1 rib?
sorry for if this sound rather stupid, but for me - a combination knitter. Do i thread on the leading yarn side, or it doesn't matter?
I'm really not sure. I'd have to experiment to figure it out. I would suggest knitting up a couple of swatches and seeing how it works using the leading leg vs not.

Seems like a good cast off method for around neck of toddler sweater, so can stretch over their heads easier.
Possibly, if the opening and ribbing itself is able to stretch over the head. V-necks, cardigans, and buttoned shoulders are often used for babies and toddlers sweaters, because their heads are so large in proportion to the rest of their bodies.
Can I use this as my default/go to cast off method for all my knitting or are there projects it shouldnt be used for. Thx!

TERRIFIC!!!! Thanks.
Where are you lately?I miss you.
I haven't gone anywhere. I posted a video this past Friday, as well as this Tuesday. The week before that I was on spring break.
Ooh, it's a bit like Kitchener stitch
It definitely has a place in the pantheon of bind offs but it certainly isn't very attractive!
