Bind Off to Match the Long-tail Cast On (Half-hitch BO) // Technique Tuesday
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2024
- This video demonstrates a type of sewn bind off known by many names, including the "Half-Hitch Bind-Off" and "Stem Stitch Bind Off." It is a match to the Long Tail Cast On and Backwards Loop/E-wrap Cast On. The result is the same as Elizabeth Zimmermann's Outline Stitch Bind Off (aka Casting-On Cast Off), but is easier to execute.

Thank you for that video. I really appreciate those technics tuesday. Every wednesday morning ( in France), I'm happy to learn a new things.
Great to hear!
I love this bind off. My bind offs are often too tight on a sock. This is great.
As much as I don't like sewing methods, this one is a keeper! Thankyou!
Again I learn something new! Now I can match the look of my cast on & bind offs.! Love it and thank you for giving us (the crafting/knitting community)this bind off message,
You are so welcome!
Saving this episode for future reference, thanks Roxanne!
This 'revised' long-tail bind off is so much easier to follow than your previous one. Thanks so much for revising and simplifying this. I am binding off a 450 st scarf! Will check out the sock BO at a later date!
I always learn something new on your channel! Thank you for sharing this with us. Be well, and have a beautiful week!
This is a far easier method to bind off which is sewn and stretchy and works whether it is 1x1, 2x2 or stockinette. Super duper again. Rox does Rock!
Thank you for this video! I am knitting what the designer calls a sweater-scarf: a long, wide scarf with sleeves that you wrap around yourself to form a sweater. You begin knitting at one cuff, knit the scarf portion, and then bind off at the other cuff. Now my sleeves can match!
I love this bind off! Especially on the fingerless mitts!
This is great! These videos have helped elevate my knitting
Just used this bind-off for a scarf! Thanks for the clear demonstration. ❤
I’m going to recommend a book by Cap Sease “Cast On, Bind Off: 211 Ways to Begin and End Your Knitting”.
Great resource
Neat! Also, your turtleneck sweater in this episode-what a stunning color and design!
Ooh! I like this! Can’t wait to try this one 🥰
Thank you, this worked so well for me on the socks I finished tonight!🧦😀🧶
Wonderful!
Brilliant! I love it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Just did a chain bind-off on my first blanket and that was a big nope! Too tight. I also discovered a knot in the bind off row. Seethe, seethe! This bind off will match the cast on, be looser, and multiple ends to weave in will be fine. Thank you!!!
Looking forward to trying this.
Great video Roxanne! Great bind off! I love your fingerless mitts! What a great idea! I’ve made a couple pair but my fingers get cold. Your idea takes care of that problem! Thanks for sharing!
I knit a lot of cowls, and plan (hope) to sell them. I would like the cast-on and bind-off to match so I'm giving it a try on my next cowl. Have you done videos on other matching cast-ons and bind-offs? Thank you so much! Love your videos!
This is a good bind off. Thanks for clarity
This reminded me of the Kitchner "chant". I suppose it is like half of a Kitchener Stitch. I had another question about stretching, but you answered it!
Well, grafting is a type of sewn bind off, and with all sewn bind offs, each stitch is entered at least twice, with at least once as if to knit and once as if to purl. Every sewn bind off has a different appearance based on the path the yarn takes through the live sts. "The" sewn bind off (aka backstitch BO) is done by entering the first two sts as if to purl, then "knitting off" the first stitch. In that case, each stitch is entered as if to purl twice, and as if to knit once.
Nice! I've been looking for something like this.
This is very helpful. Thank you 😊
This is very helpful. Thanks.
So good! So clever! So easy! Thanks!!!:)
Thank you.
Thanks!
You're welcome! :-)
Suggestion for a future video: please explain WPI. I know what it stands for but how do I use that info? Is that the way I can tell what gauge (worsted/DK/sport etc) a random ball of yarn is when it has no ball band anymore? How do I do the wraps without distorting the yarn and getting a wrong answer?
Oddly, my brain read this as half the kitchner.
I did the same thing.
That's because it is. It is the second and third steps
I have just finished a roll neck similar to the one you are wearing and the chain bind off was too tight even though it was in 2 x 2 ribbing. I would be interested to know what type of bind off did you used. Lovely colour by the way😀
I used a regular old bind off, but I was focused on keeping the cast off loose. You can't tighten up the st on the right hand needle after you pass a stitch over. If it helps, use a needle one or two sizes larger in your right hand, to force the sts to remain larger as you bind off.
Thank you, I will try that.
What happens with the excess slack when you get to the end of the row?
Could you do a standard bind off using 1 size larger needle to get the stretch. When I crochet, I often use 1 size larger hook to make the chain foundation, so it's not too tight for the rest of the fabric. This wouldn't give you the matching look, but might it give you the stretch you're looking for if you don't need the matching look?
Going up a needle size is a method for adding a bit of additional stretch (or to counteract the tendency some knitters have of overtightening their sts during the BO process) when finishing something that needs *some* stretch. The amount of stretch needed at the top of a sock cuff has to be enough to allow it to stretch as much as the fabric itself can stretch, which is more than you can get with a standard chain bind off. You either need to use some type of sewn bind off (which doesn't limit the stretch the way a chain edge does), or you need to use a bind off that adds more yarn to the edge as you bind off. The latter approach often creates a somewhat ruffled effect when at rest, although there are some stretchy BOs that manage to avoid that.
Can I use this bind off on a feather and lace scarf?
Swatch, you will find out.
You can use this bind off wherever you need an edge. Whether or not you will like the process and/or result is something that only you can discover. As Nicole suggested, a swatch will give you that answer.
Thank you. Will do
@@nicolelafontaine1720 thank you. Will do
@@mammaearly please tell us how it turned out !!!
