I have just used method 3 on a top-down sweater and it's the first time I am happy with binding off ribbing. The quality of this video is excellent: the background is clear and uncluttered, different colours are used for the different methods and the explanations are clear without being verbose. A great example of how to make an instructional video.
I agree! This is the 5th video I have watched to find out how to bind off stretchy ribstich. The others should take theirs off of u-tube and not have wasted my time in getting this info! 🤙♥️♥️
I love the second bind off. Gorgeous edge.
Beautiful explanation of Icelandic bind off. Your accent is gorgeous and you’re a great teacher! Also this technique has always seemed very difficult but you made it seem easy!!
Thank you, Ericka :-)
Thank you for such nice, clear instructions! And I liked how you compared to the regular bind off. I make a lot of childrens sweaters & need a stretchier neck, I am trying the third method, because it looked the easiest to remember! 😂
This is absolutely the best explanation of the Icelandic bindoff I have ever seen. Thank you!
Thank you!! The 2nd one was exactly what I needed and you explained it so well!
Thank you so much! This was just what I was looking for. I used the Icelandic bind off for a project and it will now be my go to bind off.
I’ve just used the middle one, Icelandic bind off, on a cotton linen neckline. It’s a beautiful finish. Thanks for an excellent video!
I love the second ( Icelandic) bing off it is refine perfect for a lace neckline. Thanks for sharing😊❤
That's a great idea to use Icelandic bind off next to lace! Thank you :-)
Wonderful clear instructions and great to see the comparison of stretch between regular bind off and these methods. Thank you so much!
Excellent! Thanks for comparing the different bind offs! Well done!
Using the second one now on my first sweater. Thank you for sharing and demonstrating
A loose cast off has always been a problem. I would just cast off very loosely and hope for the best but it was never the best. Now my cast offs are perfect and more professional looking. Thank you..
Thank you, Janet! I'm happy this tutorial helped you to improve your cast off edges. Happy knitting, my friend :-)
That was so helpful, thanks. I opted for the Icelandic method which looks lovely on the sleeve cuffs. I'll use this again.
Thank you for making this video I never knew there were so many bind offs that makes a stretchy bind off. I will certainly try them all out. I have subscribed and look forward to learning lots from your easy to understand videos.
Her instruction is very efficient … she is an excellent instructor
Thank you so much, DickyDee. You are very kind :-)
I applied method 2 to the baby blanket I just finished, and it looks so beautiful and is exactly what I expect to see. I have not been satisfied with the look of bind-off on my projects, I am so happy to find this tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing.
So happy to hear that, Judy! :-)
I'm new to knitting and I'm making swatches learning different techniques and I found the regular bind off very stiff. These are awesome.
This is great! Especially the second method! Thanks!
I've always finished my toe up socks with a method using a sewing needle but looking at these three methods I must give them a try to see which one I prefer. Thank you for this very clear video. I usually have dificulty following knitters who use the continental method but this was very clear.
I've just cast off with method three and I am very pleased with the result. Nice stretchy top on my sock.😊😊💖
Great news! Thank you for letting me know. I'm really glad that you like that method. Happy knitting, my friend :-)
Wow!! I have trouble binding off as i’m am new to knitting!! I find it so hard so I was using a crochet instead of my right knitting needle because I just couldn’t slip loops on my right needle at all!! So the islandic method is perfect for me
I've been knitting for 45 years and thought I knew all the different methods of binding off. Well you showed me one I had not seen before and I'm anxious to try it out. It is very stretchy and many times that is exactly what I need. I've tried using larger needles and sometimes that works well and sometimes not. Thank you for making this video. If you have any other tips for us old knitters who need a lift I would love to see them.
Thank you, Judith :-) I share tutorials about various knitting techniques with everyone who's subscribed to my channel and with those knitters who are subscribed to my newsletter. If you are interested, please subscribe, and I'll be sending you new tutorials as they become available. Thank you :-)
Thank you, so glad this is still here!
Icelandic bind off is so neat and easy - will never use anything else now!! Thank you !!
Thank you for introducing me to elastic bind off. I just used it on 2 sides of a baby blanket and loved it.
Happy to hear that, Inese :-)
Thank you. Used the first version on a chenille sweater for the sleeve bindoff. Perfect and attractive!
Thank you so much for this! Explained & demonstrated beautifully! I can't wait to try these out!
Have fun, Diana :-)
I used #3 for the bottom of a sweater, but the bottom now looks flared out. Should I have perhaps used #1 or #2 instead? Thanks!
Loving the third method both for amount of stretch and appearance - thank you - Sue
Fantastic video and I figured out the bind off so fast!! Great teacher and super knitter-thank you!!
Thank you, Marilyn :-) Happy knitting, my friend!
Excellent, clear and informative. Thank you for the comparisons and clear explanations.
Thank you :-) Happy knitting!
Thank you! I just used the second one on a sweater. You made it easy to understand.
Thank you, Jeanette :-) Happy knitting!
Thanks for the tutorial.
I just use the second method to bind off my gloves which knit from top to bottom. Now they looks really nice and stretchy.
So happy to hear that, May :-) Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with all of us. I greatly appreciate it. Happy knitting, my friend!
I really like the 3rd bind off, but they are all good! Thank you
thanks for your video. I'm quite a new beginner and struggle every time with a new knitting :)) I knitted a top down hat and was so desperate with the bind off. I tried 2 different ways but not satisfy yet - not stretchy enough for my head, until watching your video and follow Jeny's style. Thanks again for your tutorial! It helps me a lot.
Wow - you knitted a top-down hat and tried two different ways to bind off stitches - you are one brave beginner knitter! Great job and keep exploring :-)
Thanks for this video. You made it very clear. Now I can do it.
This was really helpful and your video and explanations are so well done. I subscribed!
Thank you, Deborah :-)
On my garter stitch swatch .... The first and third methods made the cast-off a little too flared, and did not match the garter stitch bumps of the hem of the little top-down garter stitch cardie at all. However the second method of casting-off was perfect, it matched the garter stitch pattern really well. Thank you for these interesting and easy cast-off methods.
Great video with clear instructions so I decided to try the third method out on the cuff of my toe up sock. While I was able to finish it, I did have to laugh at how clumsy I was compared to you. I had a hard time getting into the 2 stitches on the right needle as they didn’t want to stay put so that I could get my left needle into them. I’m sure that my steel 2.5 mm needles were a part of the problem. For me I found that I had to put the 2 stitches back onto the left needle and then I could get into the stitches. It seemed to take me forever but I did finish. One day I hope to have your skill level and make it look as simple as you do. Thanks for sharing your wonderful tips as they are truly helpful to this continental knitter.
My dear Evelyn, please, don't feel discouraged when you see me doing some knitting manipulations with ease. I test each technique for hours before I'm ready to demonstrate it in a video. I can be quite clumsy at first, but it all improves with a bit of practice. Hats off to you, my friend, for not giving up on this bind off!
Thank you. This video was very helpful!
Thank you for your video comparing bind-offs, the 3rd example works well as it is not tight. When I have worked the Jenny's Stretchy bind-off, though I can get my foot through the cuff, the bind-off feels tight. But the third bind-off which is like a knitted bind-off, looks nice, flares only slightly when off the foot but looks nice when worn. I have had both ankles broken (at different times, fortunately) but hand knitted socks are a great alternative to support hose which I cannot stand. So my usual socks, I knit top-down with a heel flap and wanted to do some toe up, but have never really been satisfied with the bind-off. But now I am. If my ankle is sore because I bumped it or just the weather or just because I am 67, having a sock which does not hurt to put on is wonderful for me.
Thank you for your technique videos you do, your demos are very clear, love them. And love to you for all of your kindness.
Thank you so much, my dear! I'm happy the third cast on works well for your socks. Have a wonderful day and happy knitting :-)
These are wonderful! Thank you so much!!!
😍 Just found your site - the Icelandic (2nd) bind-off was perfect for my project. VERY clear demonstration in video; I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you, Alex :-) Happy knitting!
Thank you. Just what I required. Take care 🌻
Thank you, Susan :-) Happy knitting!
Thanks, super clear and helpful!
I’m soooooglad I found you!!!!!!!!thank you for sharing!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I greatly appreciate it! : )
My pleasure :-)
GREAT
TNX!
have been knitting for decades with unsatisfyingly tight edges!
not anymore
I'm so happy to hear that :-) Thank you!
#3 is the bind-off I've waiting my whole life for! Easy, stretch and looks great! Thank you!
So happy to hear you like that bind off, Pamela! Happy knitting :-)
You saved me ❤ thanks a lot
Thank you for a great tutorial!
Thank you, Lisa :-)
Thank you for sharing this 🙏 ❤️
Thank you
Great video, thanks!
Thank you. So clear
I have subscribed to you recently here on youtube, I think you are a wonderful teacher and even make things simple enough for me, a beginner! I also went to your web page, but although I signed up have not received a password email. And yes, I have checked my junk mail. Lol! I am hoping I am just being impatient and it will get to me later on....
So sorry about that, Valerie :-( I've just emailed you the link to the Library and the password. Happy knitting!
Great video...thanks!
Great video! I learned a lot from it 😄
So happy to hear that, Marie! Happy knitting :-)
@@10rowsaday I just finished a jumper where I cast off using the first method. It was a twisted rib so I was a bit worried about the stretch so I also used just normal knit and purl for the cast off row. It ended up looking perfect and I just stretchy enough 😃
Excellent presentation with unusual methods. Thankyou
I love it thank you
You are most welcome, my friend :-)
Thank you so much!!!!!
You are most welcome, Diana! Thank you for leaving a comment :-)
I just finish a sweater and I hate the sleeves end I made. I'm going to try this with the next one. Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Good clear video - I've just used the last one for the cuffs of top down sleeves on a jacket I'm knitting.. Interesting that you put the end of the yarn through the last loop. I learned (a few years back) just to pull the end out - makes for a smoother finish. I'm trying to think who I learned that from? It was an American knitter, that I do know.
That's a clever tip - to pull the yarn tail out instead of putting it through the last loop. You are right - it DOES make a smoother finish. For some reason, I stick to the habit of putting the tail through the loop. Habits are tough to break :-)
I have just watched this video and wanted to ask the same question. I also like the following method for dealing with the last stitch - before you work the last stitch, slip it onto the right needle, pull up the loop from the stitch below and place it onto the right needle. Pass the pulled up loop and the last stitch back onto the left needle and work them together as one to finish the bind off. Then pull out the end.
Great!!!
Hello,
I am very happy to find your tutorial pages. Thank you so much for your efforts and sharing the knowledge. May I please ask for advise. I am knitting the lacy shawl baby blanket where border needs to be knitted separately and sewn to the finished blanket . I would kindly ask you for some tips (or perhaps a video how to handle the sewing especially at blanket corners (the instruction in the book only says to knit the border long enough to fit all around the edge of the center pattern, gathering slightly at corners and then sew it around the blanket. Thanks in advance.
Hi Tatjana. It must be an exquisite blanket :-) The best way to attach a border to it would be the one described in this video - th-cam.com/video/ZTieMhLuSw8/w-d-xo.html It creates a reversible seam that is quite stretchy. I used this seam to join squares to make a blanket, and it worked great. I hope it'll work for your blanket too. Happy knitting :-)
Hi, thank you. I hope I will be able to handle the corners properly as well :)
I'm sure you'll do a great job with the corners. If you need help, let me know :-)
Thank you so much for this video. I use the first method for almost everything. Is there a matching cast on?
Hi Angelica. I haven't heard of a cast on that would be the exact match for this bind off, but because the bind off edge looks a lot like an edge created by a regular bind off worked in the pattern, the closest match could be the chain cast on explained in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/chain-caston Happy knitting :-)
Can these bind off be used without a ribbing? Like some times my pattern ends all with knit seiches and there is no pearl stitches.
Hi Nicole. Of course, you can use these bind offs to finish off projects worked in any stitch pattern. I showed them on ribbing because we usually need a stretchy bind off when we close stitches in ribbing. Happy knitting :-)
Thank you very much .. nice explaination .. please , I knit a scarf using ( no purl rib st.) & I want to know the best way to bind off my scarf .. have a nice time🌷
Hi Maysa. Because the no-purl rib pattern forms vertical lines made of chains of knit stitches, I would use a regular bind off. The chain of stitches it forms will compliment those vertical lines. Of course, the best way to know is to make a swatch and test. Happy knitting :-)
@@10rowsaday thank you very much 🌷
Yay! Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💞💞💞🥰💞🥰💞🥰💞
Thank you for your clear explanation of the bind off methods. Which bind off would you use for the neck edge a garter stitch project, like a cowl, knit in the round? I would really appreciate your reply.
Hi Leslie. Icelandic bind off looks very nice with garter stitch. To make sure you like the look, test it on a little swatch. Happy knitting :-)
@@10rowsaday Used it and it is perfect on the garter edge.
What would you suggest for a similar bind off to an Italian bind off, but for knit 1, purl 2 ribbing? It’s for a neckline, so needs to also have some stretch.
That's a good question. I haven't tested it yet, but I think we should use a combination of this bind off and the tubular bind off for 2x2 ribbing explained at www.10rowsaday.com/tubular-bindoff-2x2rib Good luck!
Hy Maryna, I just finished a scarf with the brioche stitch and I'm upto the binding. Which of the 3 binding do you recommend for a brioche scarf
Hi Sara :-) You know, I wouldn't use a stretchy bind off to finish a scarf in brioche. Brioche is extremely stretchy and can get shapeless, especially in a scarf.
It's better to use a regular bind off in pattern (knit the knits and purl the purls) especially if you used a non-stretchy cast on.
If you do want your scarf to have stretchy ends and used a stretchy cast on when you started working on the scarf, then use either way #1 or way #3, because way #2 (Icelandic bind off) looks very different than any stretchy cast on.
Good luck :-)
10rowsaday Thank you
Excellent video and easy to understand as usual! Thank you for all you share. Which of these methods would give the maximum stretch?
I knitted a cowl for a 10-year old which ended up with a circumference of about 13". Now I'm nervous it's not going to go over his head. So glad I came across your video. The cast-on edge will definitely go over his head and the body of the cowl stretches to about 20". I hope I don't have to unravel and start again.
Hi Jennifer. There is a photo of all three swatches in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/stretchy-bindoff but not when they are stretched. I would say that way #1 and 3 are equally stretchy, and the way #2 is less elastic. When I need to make the edge super-stretchy, I always go for the Russian version of sewn bind off. It is the most elastic bind off I know. The tutorial is at www.10rowsaday.com/sewn-bindoff Happy knitting!
@@10rowsaday Thank you so much, Maryna!!! I apologize for not thanking you sooner. I got involved with finishing the icing on my very late Christmas cake and then running around distributing pieces of it to family & friends.
I just watched the tutorial on Russian sewn bind off. It looks easy enough to work with. I will get back to knitting today.
Will this work on circular needles?
Do you have a comparison of all three stretched on top of one another?

Do you think the Icelandic bind off would be best for the neck of a sweater?
Icelandic bind off will work nice for a neckline, especially is the sweater has sections worked in reverse stockinette or garter stitches. Those sections will highlight the "bumpy" texture of the bind off edge. Happy knitting, Jessica :-)
Thank you very much for your explanation. I have a question, if I may. About the third one. The Elastic Bind Off. I noticed that my edges flare, and become wavy, specially on stocking stitch. What do you recommend to eliminate that flare ?? Once again, thank you very much ...
Try to use a smaller size of the needles when you bind off stitches. That should help. Good luck :-)
Thank you very much for your feedback. I will make sure to use that..
Hi maryna please could you tell us wich one of these three ways of bind off is more stretchy thank you
Hi Ina, the bind offs created by ways #1 and #3 have the same stretch, and they stretch more than a bind off made by way #2. Happy knitting :-)
10rowsaday thank you
Ameiii 👏👏👏🇧🇷
Thank you, Jane :-)
👍
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Is it stretchy both ways??
All three bind offs are more elastic that the usual type of bind off. I show how much each edge stretches in this video. Happy knitting :-)
Which one is the best for a turtle neck ending?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

its very difficult to follow you with continental knitting
Sorry, Ruth. The method is the same for both the English and the Continental knitting styles. It doesn't really matter whether we hold yarn in the left or in the right hand.
I would rather have the printed instructions, than the video tutorials. I need to be able to read the instructions if I get lost. Video, you have to watch over and over again.
The full step by step tutorial is at www.10rowsaday.com/stretchy-bindoff Happy knitting :-)
Não entendo nada
Sorry Sonia, I don't speak Portuguese.
Troppo sbrigativo all'inizio se non si è esperti non lo si capisce
Hi Anna. I'm sorry the video was not slow enough. You can always adjust the playback speed by choosing a different setting. Simply click the "gears" icon at the bottom right corner of the video and change the speed from "normal" to 0.5 or even 0.25.
