Fun fact, baby knitter here. Was searching RUclips trying to find a sweater bind off for one to one ribbing that doesn't use a needle and thought this would be "the one". Well, a reminder of a life lesson, sometimes you don't get what you want, but get what you need. Thank you for your clear and easy to follow instruction. I now have one more tool for my growing knitting tool box. I hope you are having a wonderful day whenever you see this.
I use the Italian bind off, and love it. It's basically the Kitchener stitch on one needle, without the slipped setup rows beforehand to make it tubular. I definitely prefer the one needle Kitchener to having to split the stitches onto two needles. It gets easier as you do it, and I don't even have to look it up anymore. I will add the set up rows on my next bind off. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve heard the italian bindoff tends to flare as it’s not as strong as the tubular bindoff. @Erin Shipley do you find there’s a difference there? @Drowning in Yarn great tutorial, thank you!
It is the same process and result. It just eliminates dividing the stitches onto separate needles. I use it all the time, also. Thank you Drowning for the great video!
I love this bindoff and the double knitting rows before the Kitchener bindoff help the cuffs keep there shape. I have used this set up and bindoff for years. You can’t go wrong. 🎉
Thank God I found this again I knew all the 4 first steps then I put them on two different needles and then didn't know how to do rest took me all day to find you on my FB
I am SUCH an avoider of any cast-on or cast-off that takes extra time, but I am also at the stage in my knitting life that I want a polished look. Insert your amazing video here and YOU have made me want to do this cast-off! Thank you for such clear instructions. I'm going to work this right now on the cuff of my cardigan. Much appreciated.
Man I just learned and started a new project with this method for the neck line and I love it, but had no idea it could be done in the opposite direction! Thank you!
I always read/watch different versions of techniques hoping to get a pass from the hard part. Many of them talk about avoiding putting the piece onto two needles.For my wiring, this seems lovely and more straighforward since I love the process and time consuming nature of knitting. I will come back and edit this once it's complete., but am looking forward to, rather than dreading it. Thank you so much Caleb!
Thank you very much, I've been knitting for 50 years and this is the first time I've stopped stitching this way. Never stop to learn. Look great and it wasn't difficult, a bit like a mantra, K,P,/P,K. Merci beaucoup
Thank you for acknowledging that the length of yarn needed to kitchener a sweater hem is a pain but do-able.That was the very question I was going to post.
Hi Caleb, thanks for this video I am knitting my first successful sweater so I want the bind off looking neat. I miss your podcasts, I hope you are well.
There's a sweater im currently working on and I wanted to try a different bind off from normal and I was looking at sweaters that I liked the cuffs of and I was prepared to do some archival level of digging to find what bind off it was.... and then I saw this video so THANK YOU omg, it feels like one of those perfect timing things :D
Such a great tutorial. Thank you! I’m doing this along the hem of my Field Sweater and love the look. The yarn I’m using is a little slippery on my needles so one thing I found to help was to use a LARGER size when dividing the stitches. I started with a smaller size and was dropping stitches off the ends as I adjusted stitches along my circular cables. What a pain. The larger tips helped give that extra resistance to avoid stitches slipping off the tips.
I dislike the Kitchener stitch so I can’t imagine ever doing this bind off on a sweater, but never say never. Your instructions are really clear and would be easy to follow
Dude it suddenly clicked in my head! I've watched several videos by other people and was starting to think I was more brain damaged then I thought (strokes. There is no recovering from nerve damage. Inspite of what my hubby thinks.) Now I really want to knit all toe up socks! Thanks for your clear and precise instruction.
omg. thanks for this! i have read how to do this & looked at diagrams but seeing you in action has made all the difference. you're awesome. thanks again.
Great tutorial, I've saved this to refer to in the future! I came to RUclips to search for a shortcut, because I REALLY did not want to do the tubular bind off, mainly because of the long tail to work with. You've convinced me that it will be worth it. Thank you!!
Omg!!! Thank you thank you thank you lol. I just started to learn how to knit July of this year and I have already finished knitting my first pair of socks. 3 weeks ago I started to knit my first sweater for my niece. I decided to do the Flax light in adult small size. I just finished the body and the hem ribbing and was okay now how do i bind off. Your video was posted just in time. At first it seemed a lot. But as you said once you get the hang of it it will go by faster. I found your teaching and method so enjoyable and relaxing. It went by so much faster than i thought it would. I just love this bind off technic. Once again thank you.
I started watching this video 3-4 times and gave up without even trying. I was binding off the bottom of my first sweater and didn't like the look of it. I did a stretchy method... But it looked too wide. Anyway went back and tried this out. The kitchener does take FOREVER (for me) but it's really so worth it. I really like having this finish instead of the usual "line".
Wow! That is so cool. Thank you for the very clear description of this complicated cast off. I am going to try it on my next ribbed cast off. I am loving the cable cast on for 1x1 rib from your last tutorial. Thank you so much for making the process clear and easy.🤗👍
That is an amazing bind off. Omigosh. I just finished my first sweater's neckband and I need to bind off and found your video looking for help. I'm afraid I'll mess up doing this amazing technique though... so I'm still thinking about it. but I had to leave a comment because, just Wow. Very nice.
Thank you! You did it well. I myself need a mantra like: purl on, around, knit off, next: knit on, around, purl off. That's just an exemple , it doesn't fit here. With a „mantra“ I recognize very quickly what I've to do. Something like this I'm missing but you showed all what's needed to be sufficient. Be blessed!
Can't thank you enough Thank you !!! Love the way you explain and you make it look easy 🌺🌺🌻🌼🌼 BUT because i am the reading guy i always like to read for the first few times . THANK YOU!! I WONDER is it possible to post the writing of of the short pattern
I came into knitting after doing darning and mending, so all the finishing steps knitters seems to finer tedious and want to avoid, I actually love doing! Kitchener and long tail tubular cast on give me so much satisfaction. Weaving in ends is delightful!
I like the look of this, although I'm not a huge fan of sewing. I've been knitting hats for birthday gifts as of late, and this would be the perfect edge for those I knit from the top down. Some hats just work better that way, depending on what kind of hat it is. Some of the younger women I know prefer their hats to resemble a sock, so what I do is start a very small toe-up sock, and where the cuff would start, that's when I begin the increasing, not stopping until it's large enough to fit a human head (ribbing is optional, but not suggested). Then it's just straight knitting until the actual ribbing takes place. Ending these hats using this bind-off technique would make them that much better. Thank you for shooting this!
This was just great - it looks fabulous and way better than the usual bind off. I am with you on it not being a problem to do and I am going to do it on the next sweater - thanks! You are right - so worth it.
@@DrowninginYarn That was fast! I am missing Chicago - used to live in Oak Park. Now in Grand Rapids - work for X-Rite Pantone (though I am Canadian). I will make it to Chicago for the One of a Kind Show and snackies at the Purple Pig! and Nina for wool and fabric.
Wow this is really a great video I have always disliked binding off knitting socks toe up and sweaters collar down. This really is a game changer ! Thank you for a fantastic video you are a excellent teacher ! I am going try this out for sure 😀
I always have trouble binding off sweaters, and just the other day I thought I should look up tutorials on that, because I enjoyed the cast-on video you made. Thanks for this!
I just used your tubular bind off for casting off the neckline on my brat’s sweater. very successfully I would say. I was a little puzzled with the finishing of those last two stitches but then I referred to the regular tubular bind off I’m used to. Thank you for this neat finish and very clear -as always- explanation I doubt I would use this for long circumferences tho🤪
This is perfect timing as I’m about to bind off two jumpers my son requested and I wanted to do something special, thank you! Your favourite cast on is the one I’ve used for years - I just can’t get on with the long tail one. Love your podcasts!🏴🇬🇧
For whatever reason, I have the patience with the bind off but not as much with the cast on. I only do the tubular cast on rarely because I just wanna jump in to my project as fast as possible. Haha
Thanks for the great tutorial! I really like the look of this, and I strangely love the kitchener stitch. I have the neck of a top-down sweater chillin’ on a provisional cast on right now… Hmmm…
Just started watching your videos - they are really well done. I really appreciate the clear instructions and they are so well filmed. Got a question, I'm finishing my first sweater and the sleeves end in 8 rows of seed stitches. Any bind off recommendations to avoid the bind off flaring out but something a beginner can manage?
I'm a recent convert, I agree it looks great and is really stretchy for cuffs. Just make sure your sweater body/sleeves are the right length though before you do it as unpicking a tubular bindoff is the WORST and takes even longer than doing it. Also for cuffs I use shorter circs the same length, manoeuvring magic loop is a pain for me
I loved your video for the Alternating Cable Cast On so I went in search of a matching bind off as my usual go to is the Italian bind off, and came across a video by Bonnie Nurnberger here on RUclips where she shows both the cast on and matching alternating cable bind off. I just finished testing it out on my swatch and I have to say that it does really resemble the Alternating Cable cast on and it is just as stretchy. I recommend giving it a watch and see what you think. On the plus side, it is not a long tail cast off, so you don't have to worry about ensuring your tail is long enough for the entire bind off!
I just tried your bind off method and I love it! It creates the same effect as the tubular cast on with a crochet hook (I commented on your Video with your favourite Cast on method and put a link to a tutorial in it, maybe you remember). Know I can create the perfect match, thank you!!
I can’t wait to start a sweater after the Stephen shawl! I like to kichner but I fight the yarn. It always wants to loop around. You do it very well! Thank you Caleb.
This was well timed! I just got to the cast off edge today on my first garment (magnolia bloom jumper) and realised that, as a cuff down sock knitter, I have never needed to learn any cast offs. Thanks for this tutorial, it worked really well!
Working on my first adult sweater. This video gave me the hmmm moment. If I am spending time and money on a sweater I am going to wear why would I bind it off like a acrylic baby blanket. My sweater effort deserves better!! Thank you for taking the time to slowly walk thru this process. I do hate Kitchener, but maybe I will rethink why I hate it so much after seeing this. Thank you
Whoa! Looks great, but I am usually on DPNs when doing a sleeve cuff so would have to figure it out. Something to think about since the results are so nice.
This tutorial is so helpful! I was actually looking for a tutorial like this last night to finish my Weekender by DRK and she calls for this bind off! Thanks so much!!
Thank you for this video! I am definately going to try this on the sweater I am working on. I was looking for a better looking bind off than just the standard bind off in pattern or the sewn bind off. So this video has perfect timing :-) Keep on going, I love your videos.
This cast off looks amazing. I can see how easy it would be for sleeves, but for binding off a top down sweater at the waist, I'd imagine it would be hard to manage the very long lengths of yarn required for three times the length of the width of the stitches. Is there any way to address this? I usually knit with wool or cotton, but this time, I'm using an acrylic yarn and I'm not sure it would cope with such prolonged use. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 😊😊
I'm so impresses--I loved watching you knit since you hold the yarn exactly the way my mother taught me. Have you ever tried Combination Knitting--popularized by Annie Modesitt? It is so easy especially with stockinette.
There's a pretty easy way to do Kitchener without moving the stitches to 2 needles (all on one needle as they sit when you're done with the piecea]. I wish I could remember where I first saw it - maybe a Suzanne Bryan or Cheryl Brunette video. I suspect it can easily be found with a search in RUclips or a browser.
Love the look of that edgee, so clean and professional. Ever tried doing the kitcherner stitch with your knitting needles? Helps me keep the right tension.
Can we do this on a twisted rib? I did it the other day it turned out good.. but I'm trying it on my twisted rib something doesn't look right and it's hard to removed start again I am now taking the two rows down maybe I did something wrong maybe I should just knit purl regular row then try again..?
I wish that this video didn't skip the setup stitches for Kitchener stitch. I am having trouble finding video examples of Kitchener that use the two-needle method.
OMG Thank You I i did 1x1 top down but wanted a good ending and this was perfect ! You boys are better knitters than the girls :) My Fav is Arne not so much Carlos he doesn't do nothing Arne does all the work but I will follow you now :)

@@kayas.1782 I have never actually done a tubular cast off. I keep forgetting to do the set up rows before I cut the yarn.

Respect to you for clearly explaining the most complicated procedure ever. It surely was well worth it giving that beautiful end result..🤗
Haha. Thank you so much! It is fairly easy once you get into it 😊

For the 2 x 2 tubular bind off I make the 2 x2 rib into 1 x 1 rib before I make a double knit edge. That's what I've done and it works very well.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
I'm a recent convert, I agree it looks great and is really stretchy for cuffs. Just make sure your sweater body/sleeves are the right length though before you do it as unpicking a tubular bindoff is the WORST and takes even longer than doing it.

@@DrowninginYarn It is a thing (like anything in knitting, there's 1000 techniques for 1 thing) ruclips.net/video/pJFRI-_EQeA/видео.html
Is it possible to use this method to bind off two-color ribs? What is the procedure? Thank you.
What do u recommend for 2x2 ribbing
Can we do this on a twisted rib? I did it the other day it turned out good.. but I'm trying it on my twisted rib something doesn't look right and it's hard to removed start again I am now taking the two rows down maybe I did something wrong maybe I should just knit purl regular row then try again..?
I wish that this video didn't skip the setup stitches for Kitchener stitch. I am having trouble finding video examples of Kitchener that use the two-needle method.
OMG Thank You I i did 1x1 top down but wanted a good ending and this was perfect ! You boys are better knitters than the girls :) My Fav is Arne not so much Carlos he doesn't do nothing Arne does all the work but I will follow you now :)
