So many knitting videos by people who can knit but have no idea how to teach knitting. FINALLY, a clear, concise video, including a simple chart, that actually teaches how to knit the stitch. Thank you!
You have the heart of a teacher! I'm an advanced knitter, but I watched several how-to videos before it finally clicked for me by watching yours. Yours was the only one that explained you work the knit stitches and purl stitches IN PAIRS. Thank you!
What a relief to find your video. Watching other videos, I kept ripping out, then forgetting where I was. Aargh! Your mnemomic and crystal clear instructions made all the difference. Thank you!
I don’t usually comment on things I watch but after watching several of my regular videos about this bind off and trying, trying, trying I kept digging and thankfully found this. I did watch and rewatch the whole time I was doing this button band but, thanks to your great tutorial, I finally got it finished! I hope you have more tutorials for me to watch as I am teaching myself to knit with only TH-cam as my guide. THANKS! 8:45
This is the first time in my 25 years of knitting that I actually learned how to sew an Italian bind off!! I have given up on it in so many projects and I can only wish I had seen your video before. It’s amazing!! And the mnemonic is absolutely genius!! Thank you soooo much for that! This is gold 👌🏼
You are a great teacher, thank you , thank you, thank you. This is the first video I've watched that makes this bind off understandable. The mnemonic is awesome. Looking forward to your other videos.
Thanks so much for your tutorial. I was just about to give up on a tubular bind off, but after watching your tutorial about 20 times, I have it! It turned out great and I’m glad I stuck with it. I like that you used very thick yarn and big needles. It early helped to see what you were doing.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I have tried many times to do the Italian Sewn Bind-off and it has never worked out for me. My theory is that I never really understood what was happening! I have watched many tutorials and this is definitely the one. Thank you so much!!
Wow 🎉 I struggle with remembering this bind off every time I do it and keep having to rewind video’s to rewatch and rewatch still getting myself in a muddle but this has finally got it in my head and I have you wonderful chart for reference just in case thank you so so much for this very grareful 😊
I have struggled immensely with the Italian bind off and your video made SO much sense! I completed the bind off without a single problem! I can’t thank you enough for this extremely clear and easy to follow tutorial! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm making the Zipper Sweather by Petite Knits and it calls for an Italian bind off. Mind you I have never done this type of bind off before. And let me tell you, I was able to grasp the concept very quick and easy. However, no one every mentioned that it literally takes forever to do. I've been binding off the body ribbing of my sweater for two days now. I'm thrilled with the outcome but come on Italian bind off, just work faster hahah.
This tutorial saved me!!!!!! I am very visual and was so frustrated with other videos. Thank you so much!! BTW I had my husband trying to help me and he is not a knitter....you saved my marriage LOL🤣
I have watched several videos, trying to get it in my head how to do this Italian bind off your video is awesome. I will have no trouble completing the bind off with your instructions. Thank you so much.😊
Finally! I have watched so many videos and your mnenomic finally sunk in…plus I can go back to remind myself how to do this later. Don’t know WHY it took so long to GET it ( since I’ve done the Kitchener stitch often enough!) but now I have the tool! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to unpick this on my latest sweater pattern . Thank you.
I'm so happy it helped! It took dozens of times practicing kitchener stitch and the Italian Sewn Bind Off for me to really get it. Abbreviating it into the mnemonic made all the difference for me as well. 😊
Thank you so much for this! Your excellent visual aid really helped me...I had to pull out my first attempt but your video helped me to master this method. Grateful !
This technique relies on matching up a knit stitch with a purl stitch. If you want to use this after a k3, p1 ribbing I would first work a round of k1, p1 ribbing.
i ended up falling into this rhythm of "knit and it stays on, knit and it comes off. purl and it stays on (go back!), purl and it comes off. (come forth!)" i was basically rapping it by the end of it, gonna have italian bind off stuck in my head for days now
This is an amazing demonstration and the best one so far. I have been in a tizzy trying to figure out how to do this bind off. Thank you so much. I am now a new subscriber. ❤
I love this video. I knit my socks toe up, and make the ankle top with a knit 3, purl 1 rib. Is it possible to use this bind off method on a k3 p1 rib?

I'm working the button plackets for Petite Knit Lulu Slipover. I'm instructed to use Italian cast off on the back side placket. My first stitch to work will be a purl stitch, not a knit (as was the other areas in this pattern). How do I knit the set up stitches with that stitch being a purl?
Hi. Thank you for the tutorial. What if you did k1p1 but you knitted through the back loop? How can I do an Italian bind off that way? Please help. Thank you.
Hi there, I don't have a lot of experience with this bind off for twisted ribbing myself. I did that @RoxanneRichardson made a tutorial recently for exactly that. Hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/vRZ62SX7_dY/w-d-xo.html
The last purl is worked as step 4 of the K - P - P - K sequence. Then a second time in the final 2 steps. Check out the pictorial linked in the description, it may be more helpful to see it broken down there.
I find it very confusing . It would’ve been better for me if you had carried on showing us the rst of the row instead of saying you carried on to the end . I cold t follow it after that
Thanks for commenting, everyone learns differently. On this channel I work to provide videos that have sections that can be rewatched as many times as you need without making the video too long. I added a time stamp to the description at the beginning of the Step by Step instructions to make it a bit easier to repeat that portion of the video. 01:46 is the beginning of the step by step. If you learn with pictorials there are step by step instructions and images here www.knithow.com/learn/italian-sewn-bind-off In the end if my teaching style doesn't work for you with this technique I'd recommend this video by @verypinkknits th-cam.com/video/FNbanlVzbxw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L-1R_a0M1LYd85em
I give up. No stupid tutorial ever works or makes sense. You just go so fast and in circles. I can’t keep up and I can’t pause every 2 seconds to catch up without dropping everything and ducking ruining my projects. I’m done. I don’t care what a pattern calls for, I’m never trying this stupid method again 🤬
One of the beautiful things about knitting is there is always another way. If this bind off doesn't click go with what does. If you prefer there is a pictoral linked below this video with pictures of each step, that may be easier for you to work along side.

This it the BEST tutorial EVER!!!!! After watching others, I'd given up...decided to search once more...and HERE YOU WERE!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH.....
Sometimes we just need the information presented differently. So glad I was able to help you over this hurdle.
Thanks, this was a great tutorial. I think this will help me to remember it without looking it up.
So many knitting videos by people who can knit but have no idea how to teach knitting. FINALLY, a clear, concise video, including a simple chart, that actually teaches how to knit the stitch. Thank you!

That is the best compliment, Thank you!
How does this video only have 26 likes? It's the best Italian bind off tutorial I've seen!
Thanks so much, I’m really proud of this one 🥰
@@knithow could you tell me wether I can do this bindoff in a knit 1,purl 2 sequentie??
@@liesschotman7973 Unfortunately, this bind off won't work for knit 1, purl 2. The magic in the Italian Bind Off requires 1 knit to 1 purl.
What a relief to find your video. Watching other videos, I kept ripping out, then forgetting where I was. Aargh! Your mnemomic and crystal clear instructions made all the difference. Thank you!

Brilliant instructions and I love the memory chart! I've done this bind off before, but I think this is one of the clearest videos!
The memory tool is the best. With this tutorial finally I got it ❤❤❤
Thank you for having made the chart! I finally get it only after having followed your tutorial. You are an amazing teacher! Thank you Ellen.

Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!

Glad I could help! It took me a long time for me to get too.
That was so helpful! I don't know how many other videos I watched but I *finally* get it!
I'm so glad!
So incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Thank you!!! What a fantastic tutorial?! Echoing the sentiments of those before me, this is the first time I’ve managed to understand what’s going on

I have tried learning this bind off from so many tutorials, but you are one taught this perfectly. Thank you ❤
Love to hear this!
The absolute best tutorial.
Thank you for explaining going around and through the back of a stitch. Definitely cleared that up and now stopped hunting for a better view.
So glad it helped!
Very logical- a game changer for me!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
By far the best tutorial on TH-cam or Instagram!!!! Thank you 🙏🏼

Great tutorial! Thanks so much!
Great tutorial and love the visual cheat sheet/pictorial! Thank you!!
Very helpful! Thank you for clear explanation and demonstration!
Thanks for watching!
The cheat sheet helped a ton! Thank you so much for the super clear and detailed instructions!
I love a cheat sheet and so glad it helps.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I finally understand the entire method now.
Great to hear! It's a tricky bind-off for sure but so worth it :)
Excellent video! Thank you
Thank you so much for this video. Could you please explain how to bind off Italian style with 3 knit 1 purl?
This technique relies on matching up a knit stitch with a purl stitch. If you want to use this after a k3, p1 ribbing I would first work a round of k1, p1 ribbing.
Your tutorial is just best ❤
Thank You! Great video...made it easy!
Hello, thank you for the excellent tutorial.
What if the first stitch is a purl. E.g., Lulu slipover placket by petiteknits?
I finally get it, you explain it very well, thank you!
Great to hear!
Super helpful! Thank you!
the chart is really helpful, definitely saving it! thanks ellen!
i ended up falling into this rhythm of "knit and it stays on, knit and it comes off. purl and it stays on (go back!), purl and it comes off. (come forth!)" i was basically rapping it by the end of it, gonna have italian bind off stuck in my head for days now
This is amazing, let me know when you record the song 😂
This is an amazing demonstration and the best one so far. I have been in a tizzy trying to figure out how to do this bind off. Thank you so much. I am now a new subscriber. ❤
Welcome 🙏 I’m thrilled this video helped break down the technique for you.
Great tutorial, Ellen! 🤩
Thank you 🙏
Under rated video & your cheat sheet is great!

Definitely the ultimate superb way of teaching this technique. A good teacher is a teacher for life! Thank you!
Wow, thanks for this!
How long should have have in the needle before cutting off and starting this process?
I'm working the button plackets for Petite Knit Lulu Slipover. I'm instructed to use Italian cast off on the back side placket. My first stitch to work will be a purl stitch, not a knit (as was the other areas in this pattern). How do I knit the set up stitches with that stitch being a purl?
If your first stitch is a purl stitch, does that change your set up stitches?

Love your memory tool! This has been a game changer for me🩷So easy to follow & find where you are. Thank you so much for this!
So if my ribbing starts with a purl, my first two stiches need to be k the purl und p the knit, then continue according to your guide... right?
Oh wow, this is Kitchener stitch, only it's on one needle! 🤯 * new life hack unlocked *
Exactly!
Thank you...👏👏👏👏
What is the difference with the Tubular Bind off?
Thank you for the great video!
So happy you like it :)
I don’t get the ending. The last purl stitch is not worked twice, or did I miss a step?
The last purl is worked as step 4 of the K - P - P - K sequence. Then a second time in the final 2 steps. Check out the pictorial linked in the description, it may be more helpful to see it broken down there.

👍❤️
This looks so much like a Kitchener graft..
It is essentially the same thing, good catch!
I find it very confusing . It would’ve been better for me if you had carried on showing us the rst of the row instead of saying you carried on to the end . I cold t follow it after that
