Good tip. I made a dog sweater with this bind off at the neck and it was a bit floppy around my dog's neck. I will try downsizing the needles next time. Thanks!
I swear that almost every time I have a knitting issue, when I Google it, or open RUclips, one of the very first things I see is one of your videos that just happens to be THE perfect solution. LOVE this bindoff! Thanks so much! :)
Thank you! I do this but bind off regularly on every 4th then 5th stitch and it is perfect for sweater hems and cuffs. No flare and just the right amount of stretch. I keep coming back to rewatch!
What Linguavert said! I come back every time, and there it is. Thank you! It's like calling Mom for that ingredient you can't remember from your favorite family recipe!
Stop the flare! Every 3rd or 4th stitch, bind off the traditional way? I still have the stretch needed for my socks and when the sock is off there is little to no flare. Easy to adjust based on needle and yarn choices.
Game changer!!! Just took up knitting after years of putting the needles away, made 3 Christmas sweaters with the neck holes too tight!, now I will pull them apart and redo the bind off stitching.. lots of work but it will be worth it .Thank you
I used your stretchy bind-off for a shawlette with perfect results! Now I'm going to use it on the bottom end of a cardigan. I'll likely return to view this video again. Thanks for keeping this video available.
OMG, you saved my sweater! I had just finished my awesome lime-green sweater by binding off the neckline, and guess what? Couldn't get it over my head! You're a lifesaver!
Hahaha same here. In order to dress in mine, I just recasted off in the standard way much more loosely, somehow the loops on the edge are bigger too.....Now thi video helped me find the best way!
Thank you so much for this video. I just finished knitting my first sock and couldn't wait to try it on. Well...I couldn't get it on my foot due to my bind off. It was the only way I knew to bind off until now!! Thanks again VeryPink. I love all of your videos including the slow motion videos too!
Thank you, this is perfect for finishing off a chunky cowl I knitted up. I've learned so much from your videos! You always explain things so clearly and at just the right pace.
This is perfect timing! I'm just finishing up my first of your toe-up socks, and have been just knitting and knitting because I was afraid of binding off, and it being too tight! I can't wait to try this. I'm also going to try using your tutorial on the German short rows when I start the next sock. Thanks so much!
You're awesome. I ripped out my ribbing once after doing a regular bind off. Then I ripped to the lifeline (which I also learned from you) after trying a bind off following the pattern. Still no good. Glad I check in with you. It came out perfect!! Thanks so much.
I just tried this on a mock turtleneck I'm working on. I had just finished the neck ribbing bind off, and could hardly get my head through the neck opening. I un-did the bind off and reworked it using this stretchy technique, and voila! Worked great. No problem getting my head through the neck opening now, and the flaring is minimal. I do see that I'll have to work on my tensioning when using this technique. Thanks for the oh so timely tutorial.
Relatively beginner knitter, made a cowl and was not to happy by the tight bind-off...well, now I will definitely be knitting one up again using this bind-off. Thank you!
L Bottino - this BO uses about as much yarn as a regular BO. I always leave myself a couple of feet for socks so that I can easily finish the BO, and have enough of an end to easily weave in.
Thank you so much! Your method saved my piece!!! The traditional cast off method was WAY too tight for my open stitch floofy yarn. What a great stitch!
I used this for the first time last night for baby sweater neckband - never tried it before but you made it super-easy and it works perfectly! I'm going to use it all the time now! You are the very best knitting instructor ever! So helpful and clear, perfectly explained and demonstrated - I love all your Slow Motion videos and all your regular speed videos - whenever I need assistance I only look at yours now for everything! Thank you SO MUCH!! Ann from UK!
I have honestly been struggling with bind off on my first pair of socks and honesty checked out a few You Tubes on the subject..But I am not only excited about the technique but on how you teach ..YOU are my hero I will be checking out more of your tutorials ..thank you so very much
I really want to have a Cast ON stretchy like this for top of socks for my broken swollen ankle. Other cast on stretchy like this would be great for several types of patterns. thank you for this great technique!
Great video, I’ve always wanted a neat stretchy bind off without being complicated and time consuming. This is it!! I did find that if I’m binding off a purl stitch, I purl it as you did, but then I moved the yarn to the back, put my left needle through the back of the two stitches on my right needle and wrapped the yarn round to complete the stitch. I found this much easier and it’s still stretchy 🩷
thank you very much. I have just knitted a sock and struggled with binding off so it could fit over my heal. I am going to try it right away. thank you
You just saved a hat I was making for a cousin's son. I tried knitting theough the back loops for my bind-off, but that was still not stretchy enough. This one worked out perfectly. Thank you!
What a great technique. I had already unravelled the hem of a jumper twice. I didn’t bother binding off in pattern as wouldn’t have noticed the difference with my mohair yarn.
Thank you sooooo much!!! I had finished a huge sweater and bound off the regular way and knew the minute I finished I had a major problem. It was supposed to fall nicely and instead it cupped. I went back and undid the bind off I had done and used your technique. Now the sweater drapes the way it was supposed to. You are a lifesaver!
Thank you!!! I had done bind off in pattern and it made the sweater neck too small...it wouldn’t go over my head!! I had the hardest time SAVING my stitches after frogging neck trim 😩. I finally got them on needles again and used this stretchy bind off and it turned out WONDERFUL!!! THANK YOU!! 😊
I tried 3 “stretchy” bind off techniques before finding this one for a sweater band. The yarn has very little give. This was the best! Finally looks normal. I have a shawl that still doesn’t feel right even after blocking so I’m going to redo it. Thank you for this and all your other extremely helpful videos. I will remember to search VeryPink first next time :-)
I just used this bind off (purl version) on a wrap that called for a 'stretchy bind off'. I then used your technique for 'tidying up the last stitch'. I love it!! It''s stretchy and also looks quite nice. Thanks Staci, for your great videos.
This is super helpful! I just bound off a sweater neckhole with a normal bind off and it didn't fit my head. Definitely gonna redo it with this method 😊
Thank you so much for this, and for ALL your excellent videos. You make it so easy to see what you are describing, and you also describe each technique very clearly. You have become my go-to person for knitting videos, and have always been so helpful!
This is a fantastic bind off... I knit with hemp, cotton, silk yarns often, this works so slick for adding just the right amount of stretch for these fibers without looking messy!!! so happy to see this video😘
Great bind off. Just finished my first pair of socks. The first bind off was too tight, and I had to try again. Used this bind off - perfect. I found my last stitch was too floppy, so on the second sock I used a regular bind off for the last two stitches and then used your tapestry needle join. The join is invisible. Yay!
I'm finishing up a baby pullover and picked out my first bind off, which I realized would be too tight going over a baby's head, and used this one. Much better and very stretchy. Perfect! Thank you, Staci.
I tried this as you described on a neck 1x1 rib bind off, but it was too stretchy and looked out of shape. So, I improvised and when knitting the knit stitch, I did it your way and when purling the P st. I passed the previous stitch over. I have a great deal of stretchiness, but a better neck shaping.
I used the above bind off (love) but had too much stretch on my 3x1rib at bottom edge of beekeeper cardigan - followed your advice and normally bound off 1 purled st in 4 reduced the stretch by the perfect amount - great idea!
@@meghenmatta2080 I just did this with 1×1 ribbing. To start I knit 1 then purl 1, then passed knit stich over the purl stitch, knit one then knit the two stitches on the right needle together. Rinse and repeat. 😊 I hope that helps.
I over your channel and it is my go to recommendation for new knitters. I come to this video over and over to decide which method to bind off different pieces. Do you have a Video on the Pros and cons of different cast ons for different project requirements please?
thank you very much! i knitted my dog a sweater and it turned out so beautiful but the bind off at the end is not as stretchy as i wanted it to be so the sweater tends to shrink a bit and it looks shorter on her. I'm gonna trythis bind off nex time!!!
Your tips and tricks literally save me from throwing out fuckloads of quality work. I've made 2 socks, and this third one is going to be perfect thanks to you.
You can work this BO without any purl stitches, that is how I normally do it. You end when you have just one stitch left, cut the yarn, and pull that cut end through the last loop and tighten.
Wow! That's so simple! This should be a standard bind off for everything instead of the regular bind off. Think am going to teach this bind off to my students instead of the regular bind off. Thank you SO much for sharing this!!! ((huge hugs))
Really helpful and clear instructions. Thank you. I just made a pair of knee-high socks (toe up) and made the mistake of using regular bind off and it was way too tight: this vid provides the perfect solution 😊
Lindsey Ferrin - this BO really doesn't have a flare compared to other stretchy BOs. I give a cast-on suggestion and link in the video description field, just below the video.
+VeryPink Knits My socks also had less 'flare' but still a bit of a 'corregated' look. I enjoy doing this binding and will continue using it.....thank you!
This works GREAT with flat two color brioche and long tail cast on. I just used the main color to bind off so it's the same color as the cast on. Thanks!
Oh! Thank you so much. Your video is so clear and good for beginners. Nobody told me the difference between regular BO and this strechy BO. I used regular BO before and it was not stretcy enough. But I didn't know why.. Now I know the difference and feel like I've made progress:)
I use Jeny's S. BO on all my female dog sweaters I knit for my Etsy shop almost every day. From what I can tell, Jeny's bo method is a lot of yarn overs (the yo adds an extra stitch for that extra stretchiness) & then, passing previous stitches over. This video bind off technique consists of purling & knitting. I'm not sure which is stretchier, but I'm going to try it. It's great learning new techniques! Thank you VeryPink Knits !!
Thank you so much for this very easy stretchy bind off, I've always used a size up in needle and tried to do it loosely but it doesn't look so neat Thanks to you I now have the perfect way to finish off One very happy knitter here now :)
Funny to say, that I started watching this video while I'm already stretchy casting off my finished circle jacket. Thanks for your tutorials and your videos. I really love your channel and enjoy watching the videos.
I absolutely love the scarf you're wearing in this video. I know you've probably answered this a million times, but for a newbie could you please tell me what the pattern is? Thank you!
I love this method but found it a little too wavy/loose so I adapted this method with the other...and to me it was just right...knit 2 cast off the first knit st, put yarn in front purl one THEN purl the 2 together, purl 1, purl 2 together but when knitting the next stitch I do a normal cast off. So with knit stitches I do a normal cast off and with the purl stitches I use your purl 2 together. Turned out great for me.
Woah thank you so much I did this using my crochet hook And the knits are slip stitches And the purls with the yarn in front single crochet stitches Helped so much
I just had to undo a couple of rows on a pretty top down cardigan for a baby, as the cast off armholes were much too tight - used this bind off and voila! Perfectly big enough for baby! Thank you so much for this simple method, which will be much used...
FrancescaDonnaMarie Yes!! Me too! You are the first one to ever say what I think every time I hear the music! I love it! Brings me back to my childhood!
Thank you for such a clear discussion of when this bind off may be appropriate. I always appreciate your thorough format. Yours are the first videos I view on knitting techniques. PS, I just used this on my first crescent shawl, and it looks great and blocked out exactly as I planned.

I went down two needle sizes and it got rid of the flare while maintaining the stretch! LOVE this bind off!!!
Thank you!
Oh my goodness -thank you for this! I will probably do the same.
Good tip. I made a dog sweater with this bind off at the neck and it was a bit floppy around my dog's neck. I will try downsizing the needles next time. Thanks!
Thank you for the tip, I loved the stretch but needed it to lie flat. I was going to try a different bind off till I saw your comment.
I swear that almost every time I have a knitting issue, when I Google it, or open RUclips, one of the very first things I see is one of your videos that just happens to be THE perfect solution. LOVE this bindoff! Thanks so much! :)

I wish I could like this every time I have to come back and rewatch it. Thank you!
Agree too, I have to re-watch it every time I need a stretchy bind off. It's so simple but will not stick in my brain!
Leave a new comment each time you use this video. It feeds the algorithm much as the likes do.
I have to watch it again too. So glad to have the video!
Isn’t she awesome!
Same here!!
As a RUclips “self taught” knitter, this technique has been a game changer for me! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
What Linguavert said! I come back every time, and there it is. Thank you! It's like calling Mom for that ingredient you can't remember from your favorite family recipe!
Thank you for this. It's because of you that I can knit a raglan sweater. I haven't stopped once I learned !
Stop the flare! Every 3rd or 4th stitch, bind off the traditional way? I still have the stretch needed for my socks and when the sock is off there is little to no flare. Easy to adjust based on needle and yarn choices.
This is a fantastic solution! Thanks so much. 😊😊💕
That’s good
I really struggled to get the yarn through on the k2tog, but switched to a crochet needle and it works like a charm!
excellent suggestion!
Game changer!!! Just took up knitting after years of putting the needles away, made 3 Christmas sweaters with the neck holes too tight!, now I will pull them apart and redo the bind off stitching.. lots of work but it will be worth it .Thank you

I am a tight knitter, and my casts off were shocking - this solves my problem.

It was a game changer for sure!!
Uhh! You are not kidding! I love this, and why did I not know about this before. Thank you! It is my new favorite.
Thank you so much. You are helper angel. Whatever doubt i have, whatever mistake i did, you are always there for my help.
Youre the best teacher that i found for this method, you made it look so simple thank you.

Thanks, definitely strechy, and I like the way it respects the K and P of the previous line.
Thank you for this one! Just had to rework baby collar. Went from 14” to an 18” circumference! Now it won’t rip off ears 😸
I know that feeling - it hurts!!
Did it make the edge of the neck saggy at all?
thank you very much. I have just knitted a sock and struggled with binding off so it could fit over my heal. I am going to try it right away. thank you
Thank you for showing how to do this stretchy cast off stitch, works like a charm
Thank you VeryPink Knits. Your super stretchy bind off sorted my problem of a too tight neck opening on childs hand knit jumper.
Yes it solved my problem too for neck binding off for a baby sweater
You just saved a hat I was making for a cousin's son. I tried knitting theough the back loops for my bind-off, but that was still not stretchy enough. This one worked out perfectly. Thank you!

I am an obsessed sock knitter and this has become my fave bindoff. Thank you so much.
flourchylde It works well for socks?
Every time I need something, you have a video already made to teach it to me. Very appreciative of your hard work!!
Thank you again. I'm back, it's winter in Truckee. I'm reacquainting myself with last year's dormant projects. Stretchy bind off : )
Thank you!!! I had done bind off in pattern and it made the sweater neck too small...it wouldn’t go over my head!! I had the hardest time SAVING my stitches after frogging neck trim 😩. I finally got them on needles again and used this stretchy bind off and it turned out WONDERFUL!!! THANK YOU!! 😊

This is amazing!! so well explained and saved my turtleneck sweater. It also looks really nice. Thank you!
This is super helpful! I just bound off a sweater neckhole with a normal bind off and it didn't fit my head. Definitely gonna redo it with this method 😊
I used this method for the first time tonight, thankyou so much for your video!
Try doing it every other stitch. It is superb!
I just saw this. It's great for my toe-up socks! I will always use it too. Thank you.
far superior to another "...... stretchy bind off" I've seen. This one really works and is not bulky.
Thank you 2000 times! Just tried it out and It's amazing stretchy!
Thank you so much for this, and for ALL your excellent videos. You make it so easy to see what you are describing, and you also describe each technique very clearly. You have become my go-to person for knitting videos, and have always been so helpful!

I wish i could understand this adjustment as i am doing 1x1
I did this too, with a 2x2 rib, and it gave it just the right amount of stretch but not enough to make it flare out.
@@meghenmatta2080 I just did this with 1×1 ribbing. To start I knit 1 then purl 1, then passed knit stich over the purl stitch, knit one then knit the two stitches on the right needle together. Rinse and repeat. 😊 I hope that helps.
I over your channel and it is my go to recommendation for new knitters. I come to this video over and over to decide which method to bind off different pieces. Do you have a Video on the Pros and cons of different cast ons for different project requirements please?
I am using the bind off for the first time on a wool shawl right now and I'm loving the look!
thank you very much! i knitted my dog a sweater and it turned out so beautiful but the bind off at the end is not as stretchy as i wanted it to be so the sweater tends to shrink a bit and it looks shorter on her. I'm gonna trythis bind off nex time!!!
Your tips and tricks literally save me from throwing out fuckloads of quality work. I've made 2 socks, and this third one is going to be perfect thanks to you.
Love this bind off. My memory isn’t the best, so have your video on speed dial. ❤
Love your videos, love the quiet presentation and love the simplicity of the amazing ways you find to do things. Many thanks.
Thanks for sharing this great bind off. How do you start if its knit 1, purl 1 rib? and how do you end? Cheers Jacquie
You can work this BO without any purl stitches, that is how I normally do it. You end when you have just one stitch left, cut the yarn, and pull that cut end through the last loop and tighten.
I love your channel, thanks for the videos. A big hug from Chile. 🇨🇱
Wow! That's so simple! This should be a standard bind off for everything instead of the regular bind off. Think am going to teach this bind off to my students instead of the regular bind off. Thank you SO much for sharing this!!! ((huge hugs))
I love this, especially for the top edge of sleeves that need to be inset into the body. 💖👏
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This is now my go-to bind-off for my Asymmetrical Shawls and ear warmers!
This looks wonderful. I'm doing a 1/1 rib on a circular needle for a hat. Is the technique worked the same way? Thank you!
Very helpful and a good paced video. I have a fingerless glove to bind off later today so this was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Had sleeves on a cardigan where the bind off was too tight, undid and used this stretchy bind off, problem fixed. Thank you.
Holy moly, Ms. Perry! I've always disliked the BO I used for socks, but didn't know a different way to do it. Thank You!
Thanks! Tried it on one wrist of 2x1 ribbing. It looks terrific.
Really helpful and clear instructions. Thank you. I just made a pair of knee-high socks (toe up) and made the mistake of using regular bind off and it was way too tight: this vid provides the perfect solution 😊
Lindsey Ferrin - this BO really doesn't have a flare compared to other stretchy BOs. I give a cast-on suggestion and link in the video description field, just below the video.

This works GREAT with flat two color brioche and long tail cast on. I just used the main color to bind off so it's the same color as the cast on. Thanks!
I am using this bind off for a very stretchy lace shawl. It works very well. Thank you.
I've only been knitting for about 2 months now and your videos have been so helpful. Thank you so much!
Fabulous way to finish off my toe-up socks! Easy now to get on and off, and looks wonderful. THANK YOU!!!!
Oh! Thank you so much. Your video is so clear and good for beginners. Nobody told me the difference between regular BO and this strechy BO. I used regular BO before and it was not stretcy enough. But I didn't know why.. Now I know the difference and feel like I've made progress:)
you are my fav knitting teacher. and thank you for all of your great videos
Fabulous! You saved my child sized neck gai
ter project!
You are seriously the ONLY person who can explain things to me lol And I'm a flicker too so that is helpful.
So pleased to learn this bind off in time to complete a lace weight shawl I'm working on. For my purposes, this beats EZ's Sewn Bind Off. Thanks!
I just watched your video in preparation to finish off a shawl from Vanessa Ewing. Thank you Staci!
Very cool! I'm wondering how it compares to Jeny's surprisingly stretchy bind off.
I second this question.
I use Jeny's S. BO on all my female dog sweaters I knit for my Etsy shop almost every day. From what I can tell, Jeny's bo method is a lot of yarn overs (the yo adds an extra stitch for that extra stretchiness) & then, passing previous stitches over. This video bind off technique consists of purling & knitting. I'm not sure which is stretchier, but I'm going to try it. It's great learning new techniques! Thank you VeryPink Knits !!
Cora K. So which method do you find stretchier? It looks like this one would be. (I have used Jeny's ssbo also.)
playhooky I've used both methods, and I feel like this one is WAY more stretchy even than the jennys version. It's also less complicated.
Thank you so much for this very easy stretchy bind off, I've always used a size up in needle and tried to do it loosely but it doesn't look so neat Thanks to you I now have the perfect way to finish off One very happy knitter here now :)
Brilliant! I Tried the method on several videos. This the best technique and easiest video to follow.
that looks so much easier than the bind off I knew, the right stitch go over the left...😍 thankyou❤️
Funny to say, that I started watching this video while I'm already stretchy casting off my finished circle jacket.
Thanks for your tutorials and your videos.
I really love your channel and enjoy watching the videos.
I love it!!! Used it at the ribbing edges of leg warmers.
I absolutely love the scarf you're wearing in this video. I know you've probably answered this a million times, but for a newbie could you please tell me what the pattern is? Thank you!
I love this method but found it a little too wavy/loose so I adapted this method with the other...and to me it was just right...knit 2 cast off the first knit st, put yarn in front purl one THEN purl the 2 together, purl 1, purl 2 together but when knitting the next stitch I do a normal cast off. So with knit stitches I do a normal cast off and with the purl stitches I use your purl 2 together. Turned out great for me.
Woah thank you so much
I did this using my crochet hook
And the knits are slip stitches
And the purls with the yarn in front single crochet stitches
Helped so much
I just had to undo a couple of rows on a pretty top down cardigan for a baby, as the cast off armholes were much too tight - used this bind off and voila! Perfectly big enough for baby! Thank you so much for this simple method, which will be much used...
Your channel is such a life saver!
I must tell you I love the music. reminds me of Bewitched.
FrancescaDonnaMarie Yes!! Me too! You are the first one to ever say what I think every time I hear the music! I love it! Brings me back to my childhood!
I noticed that too. I grew up watching Samantha and Darren.
Thank you for such a clear discussion of when this bind off may be appropriate. I always appreciate your thorough format. Yours are the first videos I view on knitting techniques. PS, I just used this on my first crescent shawl, and it looks great and blocked out exactly as I planned.
