Your tutorials are so easy to follow, and truly they have helped me to understand concepts I never knew existed. Thank you for the slo-mo, so, so helpful.
Staci, I love your teaching style, your camera work, your excellent way of explaining, your puppy’s occasional appearances, 5:40 and your patterns! Thank you!
Great camera view and the slow motion tutorial is so helpful for me. I look forward to looking at more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge and expertise.
Amazing bind off & perfect timing… I’m making a sweater w/ shoulder seams - absolutely going to use your video & this technique to bind off! Thank you for your great videos!
I learned this from a yarn store owner while there, but there were so many, many customers yakking at once that it was a major distraction. Thus, I was unable to concentrate consistently and kept making major mistakes. Thanks for you perfect demonstration!
Thank you so much for your slo-mo tutorial on three needle bind off. I am not stupid by any means, but when learning something new, I need to see it many times slowly so that I really know what is happening. Then, I can work it myself with confidence, without constantly checking (usually in the middle of the stitch) whether I'm doing the right thing. I will be checking your channel for more of these slo-mo gems!
Thank you for this slo-mo video!!! I'm making a baby sweater for my great neice and had no idea how to do this stitch. I"m ready to take it on now, thanks to you and your talent!!
Hi just watched your demonstration video on 3 needle bind off, I never used this method before until today . Wow how neat does the seam look. Thank you so much for a great demonstration and explanation of the technique.
Oh bless you a thousand times over for this you gem. I was so nervous and you made it so approachable, thank you so so much! Hope you're taking care and that you and yours are all safe and well!
Curious if this stitch is at all stretchy? It doesn’t look to be. I’m adding a lace panel to the bottom of a sweater. I have ribbing at the bottom, which is bound off already, so I would pick up those stitches first, and then do this technique with the live (flat worked) lace panel + ribbing. Is there another bind off that works to combine pieces but is stretchier for the needed give of a ribbed hem? Thank You! Super clear demo!
Thanks for this video, Staci! When using this method to seam sweater shoulders, do you use the same needle size for the third needle as you used for the front and back pieces, or is it better to go up a size or "bind off loosely," as for a regular bindoff, to prevent the seam from pulling in or being too tight/short for the fabric?
Hiya, im enjoying watching your tutorials esp the slo-motion. Really helps to understand the techniques. Just for clarification this method would be suitable for joining shoulder seams? What would be different if i was to use the kitchener stitch? Also, for seaming up a cardigan or sweater which stitch is most suitable? Sorry, im not a complete beginner but still learning°
Hmm...probably not. You want to put the right sides together when you work this, so unless your double knitting is open at the CO end, you wouldn't be able to turn it inside-out.
I was hoping you would do a video on shaping the back of a neck for a sweater and shoulder slope shaping not just using short rows but when you have a pattern for the sweater I have a problem with short rows .
Yes - I don't have a video on that, only because there really aren't standards for that, it is specific to each pattern. I have many videos on different types of short rows...if you understand the short row technique you're using, then it's just a matter of following the pattern to place the turns.
I’m working on two different baby sweaters and both just instruct “join seams” with no suggested technique. Would you suggest this three needle technique or some other method?
If you have "live" stitches that need to be seamed, this is a good choice. If you have side seams and/or cast on and bind off stitches, then you'll want to use mattress stitch.
Stacy, any possibility of doing a video on how to fix a wrapped stitch that has become unwrapped, I find this happens when doing short rows and I never seen to rewrap them correctly! Sincerely,kevin
I have a question: I am using this technique for knitting the front and back shoulder together. my pattern states to place Wrong Side against Wrong Side. Does that mean that both WS's are facing out?? Because that would make sense. Thank you.
WS against WS is "wrong sides touching", right sides out. Working this technique with right sides out will leave a visible ridge on the outside of the work. I would contact the pattern designer to make sure that is what is intended.
My eyebrows went up when you said this technique could be used for shoulder seams! How great is that? As I recall most of the patterns I’ve knitted with shoulder seams required some form of graduated bind offs. Can this technique be used with graduated bind offs?
Not really...usually there is a straight part of the shoulder seam where you can use this technique, but you'll need to mattress stitch any "stair steppy" sections together.
Hi Staci! May i add my voice to your fan base - and also my thanks! I join Allison Byrd in her question. (If there was a reply, I didn’t find it. My error, I’m sure.) What size needle do you use in this stitch? I’m seaming the Honey Bear Hoodie hood.
I never would have figured this out without this video. Ty.
Thank you, yet again sorted !A mother new technique thanks to you
I don’t usually master a new technique this quickly. Thank you!
Thank you so much. What a wonderful video for a visual learner.
Hi,,,I have found so many of your tips useful, and just wanted to say thank you for sharing your time and instruction with us....Sandy from Germany
Thanks. I thought that was what the written pattern was telling me to do, but sometimes it's just so much more helpful to actually see the motion.
Your tutorials are so easy to follow, and truly they have helped me to understand concepts I never knew existed. Thank you for the slo-mo, so, so helpful.
At last. A slow motion knitting demonstration. Thank you so much it is really appreciated.
FANTASTIC. SHORT AND TO THE POINT. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT
You are the best teacher!
I have learnt almost everything with from your videos. Thank you for supporting our knitting projects.
Staci, I love your teaching style, your camera work, your excellent way of explaining, your puppy’s occasional appearances, 5:40 and your patterns! Thank you!
Thank you for doing the slow motion. I’m blind and n one eye so sometimes it’s hard to focus on what to watch. Thank you❤️
Thanks! Got it the first time. Nicely demonstrated.
The slow motion videos are so helpful. I have been having challenges with the 3 needle bind off, and this really helped.
Worked like a charm! A beautiful result. It was really easy. Am thrilled. Thanks so much.
Great camera view and the slow motion tutorial is so helpful for me. I look forward to looking at more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge and expertise.

O my God! It was so simple.
Thankyou so much mam.👍👍👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Love from India
Thank you for the slo-mo. So good for visual learning!
love the slow motion presentation! Very helpful. THANK YOU1
Thank you fo providing closed captions! Amazing video that taught me how to do this super quickly!
I learned this from a yarn store owner while there, but there were so many, many customers yakking at once that it was a major distraction. Thus, I was unable to concentrate consistently and kept making major mistakes. Thanks for you perfect demonstration!

Slow-mo was awesome! I always wanted to learn this!
Oh bless you a thousand times over for this you gem. I was so nervous and you made it so approachable, thank you so so much! Hope you're taking care and that you and yours are all safe and well!
I love your slow motion videos!!! Another thing I like about your videos is the happy little tune at the beginning 😊
Thanks, I’ve watched a ton of your videos and always refer new knitters to you.
This was so helpful! I’ve tried this bind off before with instruction that wasn’t this easy to follow. Thank you for sharing !
Thank you so much! I was so afraid of this (I don't know why)I have to do the shoulders on summer sweater I am working on.
THANK YOU!!! I loved this - especially for a somewhat novice knitter - the slo-mo was *fantastic*!
I've watched other videos of yours, but doing this one and other in SLOW-MOTION ... Holy Toledo, what a great idea.
Great instructional video. The slow motion makes it very clear.
Super easy to understand and follow. Just what I needed to finish my shoulder seams. Thanks.
Thank you, I quite like the ridge side for binding blocks together on a blanket so it provides a frame. Very clear instructions and demonstration.👌🏼
Love the slow motion! I can really see what you are doing and keep up. Keep up the great work!
Your tutorials are invaluable! You’re my only knitting teacher ❤️

Thank you for this! I thought it was going to be super fiddly, like kitchener, but you made it very clear and simple.😀
Thank you for the slow mo!
it is so helpful and clear instructions to follow.
I love your tutorials thanks so much especially the slow motion
Great, clear and precise! Always good work! Thanks a million
Thank you so much! This video was very helpful. Thanks for making it slow speed.
Thank you for that clear and simple bindoff❣
Hi stacy....thank you for this VERY helpful slow motion.....bind off.😄
Thank for a great and slow demo :)
Thank you so much for your slow motion demonstrations.
Thank you I didn't have a clue but you have sorted that out cheers 👍
Thank you. Very easy, clear instructions!
Fabulous 😍 I do appreciate these slow mo videos. Thank you 🙏
Is the "live" yarn that you're working with from a separate ball of yarn, or is it a tail from one of the two pieces?
It is the tail you ended your last piece with.
Excellent tutorial thank you!
Thank you so much for this great tutorial.❤❤❤
Just the tutorial I was looking for
You have the best tutorials
Ty so much. Very nicely done, I will try this. 👍 🌹
Great video, thank you 😊
Me: oh I started a pattern last night that needs this bind off I don't know how to do
Very pink knits: I gotchu fam
Wow! Thank you for showing me this.
Thanks Very Pink! I appreciate you very much !🤓
Thank you, Really love these videos !!
Great tutorial, easy to follow.
Thanks for this video, Staci! When using this method to seam sweater shoulders, do you use the same needle size for the third needle as you used for the front and back pieces, or is it better to go up a size or "bind off loosely," as for a regular bindoff, to prevent the seam from pulling in or being too tight/short for the fabric?
Thank you for this tutorial video. Can the 3 needle bind off be used for the seam of a knit bags handles?
Learnt it easily by looking at the video thank you
Brilliant explanation. Thank you!

What would be different if i was to use the kitchener stitch? Also, for seaming up a cardigan or sweater which stitch is most suitable? Sorry, im not a complete beginner but still learning°
Ooooh. Could I use this to bind off double knitting? It would seal up the two sides?
Hmm...probably not. You want to put the right sides together when you work this, so unless your double knitting is open at the CO end, you wouldn't be able to turn it inside-out.
Thanks
This actually looks like it would be really easy to do with a crochet hook instead of a 3rd needle!
Great video as usual. I don't use third needle, I prefer crochet hook instead.
Very helpful!
Thank you!! This really helps!
Why wouldn't you use Kitchener stitch to finish off seam on a hood as it's more invisible?
Very useful video
Omg I’m so impressed
Such a great help. Thank you
I was hoping you would do a video on shaping the back of a neck for a sweater and shoulder slope shaping not just using short rows but when you have a pattern for the sweater I have a problem with short rows .

Thank you. Just finished.
what size needles do you use? You have to have 2 sets to make 3 even sizes?
Are the front sides facing each other inside or wrong sides facing each other for this method for connecting shoulders?
You want to turn your work inside-out, so wrong-sides touching (facing each other).
I’m working on two different baby sweaters and both just instruct “join seams” with no suggested technique. Would you suggest this three needle technique or some other method?
If you have "live" stitches that need to be seamed, this is a good choice. If you have side seams and/or cast on and bind off stitches, then you'll want to use mattress stitch.
VeryPink Knits That makes perfect sense, Staci. Thank you so very much!

Perfect! Thank you
Excellent!
Beginner’s question…are these special type of needles? Can you do it with any pair of needles?
You can work this technique with any needles.
Thanks!

You can use the same needle you knit the item with.
Thank you so much!
