- This Brooklyn Tweed knitting tutorial will teach you to work a Sloped Bind Off, useful for binding off any angled edge in your knitting. Get smoother shoulder seams and sleeve caps with this easy technique!
Sloped Bind Off:
1:07 Step 1: Work the first bind off row(s) at the garment edge(s) as usual.
2:00 Step 2: One row before the next bind off row, work to the last stitch of the row, turn.
2:51 Step 3: Slip the first stitch from the L needle purlwise, pass the unworked stitch of the previous row over the slipped stitch (the first stitch is bound off ). Bind off the remaining stitches as usual.

Awesomely done! No music, simple, clear explanation of what you were doing as you were doing it…thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy knitting!
I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m so happy I saw this video. Absolutely the easiest method I’ve seen so far. 😊
And big thanks coz you were the only one pedagogic enough teaching me this properly 😂😅
Our pleasure! :D
It was very helpful
Oh NIce!!! Thank you. That is cool!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
I love that! thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Hope you find this technique helpful!
Thanks so much 😅
You're so welcome! Happy knitting!
This is helpful, thank you. I’m working the back of a cardigan that calls for sloped bind off on both sides. Any special advice for that?
Hello! There are a couple of ways to do this - your pattern might have you binding off at the beginning of every row, working one shoulder's bind-off on the RS rows and the other on the WS rows (possibly with some neck shaping in the middle!), or you might be working one shoulder at a time, binding off only on the RS or the WS rows. Happy knitting!
@@BrooklynTweed_Official - I thought she meant the back where the neck is. Would be nice to see a video showing how to do that for the front or back center where you're binding off on both sides of the neck.
How do I do this bind off on a traditional garter stitch though ?
Thanks 😊😊😊
Great question! You can work the sloped bind off the same way on garter stitch.
May I know how to do it on both edge? I mean BO both edge same row with this technique? Thanks
Hello! To bind off symmetrically on both sides of the fabric, you'll bind off at the beginning of every row rather than every other row. Happy knitting!
@@BrooklynTweed_Official Sorry, I am a bit slow. I want to BO 4 sts on both edge for 4 rows. I just not sure how to BO in using this technique when come to the last 4 sts.
Hi Hajjar! You'd need to work your last 4 stitches as normal, turn your work, then bind off 4 stitches at the beginning of the next row - this puts your working yarn in position to work across the rest of the row.
Thank you! Is this the method to bind off a neckline?
You're very welcome! You'll often see this method used for binding off shoulders, but it would certainly be useful for necklines or anywhere you have a curved or sloping edge on your knitting.
I did that ordinary step bind off with putting 11-11 - 11 on safety pins... Now then I'm trying to bind off in your style it's being small wholes betreen eatch section.
I don't know how to save it
Hi Monica! You may get small gaps between each section as you're binding off, but they should even out with blocking - make sure you're passing the unworked stitch of the previous row over the slipped stitch at the beginning of each section. Shoot us an email at support AT brooklyntweed DOT com if you need more help!
@@BrooklynTweed_Official thanks 💕 I'll try
Thank you for the demo! Which brand of circular needles do you use?
Thanks so much for watching! We actually aren't sure which brand of needles these are, Jared received them as a gift long ago and they don't have a name on them. They're ebony wood with a plastic coated steel cable and are great to knit with - if anyone recognizes them let us know!
I’m working on a pattern (Arlo) that has me binding off in two directions. I wish you had a video of that. It’s confusing for the uninitiated. Guess I’ll do a test on something else.
Are you working on the back? That can be a bit confusing since you're working on both sides with two balls of yarn. We're here if you need help! Look for the Pattern Support link on our website or email Support at Brooklyn Tweed dot com.
So much neater!
And so much easier to seam!
Are you knitting the first stitch on the wrong side? You were moving a little too fast for me to catch.
Good eye! We often work a garter stitch edging on our swatches (knitting the first stitch of every row) to help keep the edges from curling. Thanks for watching & happy knitting!
