Initially I was confused why a bind off for garter stitch was done on a stockinette swatch but after having started it on my garter stitch project and not really being able to tell where the garter ended and the bind off began, I appreciate the swatch you used because it made it easier to see exactly what the bind off looks like. Thank you, and I agree that it's easy to get into a rhythm and go pretty quickly.
Awesome tutorial. No unnecessary talking. I love this& saving to my knitting technique folder. Also, thank you for showing both styles of knitting. God bless. 🌺❤️🌺
Beginners should know the first part of the tutorial is continental. The description for American comes later in the video. Adding this to the title might help knitters that won't recognize the difference by watching. Great stitch thanks for posting.
I LOVE this bind off!! Thank you so much. It was the perfect finish for the huge garter stitch blanket I just finished today. An extra special thank you because it was a blanket I’ve been working on for a couple months while my little Boston Terrier, Pearl, was curled up in my lap. Pearl recently started having seizures, and after trying everything possible we finally had to take her to the vet to help her cross over. I finished the blanket today (using your bind off) while she laid with me...and then we went to the vet. I don’t think I could’ve finished the blanket without Pearl. THANK YOU for helping me finish it in style...with my baby girl. 💕🐶
I'm looking forward to trying this bind off in combination with the Old Norwegian cast on. From your video sample, the edge it creates will match better.
Thank you for the great video. And thank you for also showing how it's done, in the American way. I can usually "translate" from Continental, but it does make it easier when I see it my own way. :) Thanks for showing how the edge looks once it's done. It's very pretty, & I'm sure I'll give it a go with some projects. I don't care that you did it with stockinette stitch. It doesn't matter what you did it with. I don't know anyone who sees a new way of doing something & doesn't try it on a swatch first, rather than jeopardizing a blanket or other project. So, I will be knitting a swatch in garter & giving this a try. Thanks a bunch. :)
I really love this bind off and have just used it for my Oblique Rib stitch scarf, but did not pull the yarn through the last stitch, which I find very ugly.
Your title talks about the perfect bind-off for garter stitch, but your sample is stockinette. Any chance you have a video showing how this works with garter stitch. I certainly don't want the garter stitch to roll as your stockinette stitch does. Can I use the same bind-off technique for the garter stitch shawl I am finishing? Would I be better off just using Judy's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off?
I think this bind off is awesome. I am a newbie and am glad I saw this before I finished the scarf I am making. As a newbie, can you advise what I am to do with the two strings attached when I am done? I don't want to cut them and then things begin to unravel LOL.
Any chance you would consider taking up combined knitting?? I love your vides and would love for you to teach me better~ It is so much better on my hands!
This looks great! I've been getting your emails for a while but I actually landed here from a Ravelry patter that was just finished and linked here. Unrelatedly and oddly enough, your voice on this video sounds quite similar to how MY voice sounds on video/recordings. Not, of course, the same as my voice sounds in my head! But I wonder if you and I do sound similar to other people's ears, and if how you hear your voice in your head is similar to how I think I sound in my head... Anywho, I will will try this bind-off on the next thing I knit that isn't ending in a point!
Very nice. Saved the video, and shall use this method soon. Thanks for taking the time to post a video. Is that "I Love Bind-Offs ebook free ? EDIT: I now see you charge 49.99 😲 🙁 Are cast ons and cast offs supposed to match ?
So glad you enjoyed the video and that you'll be using it on your next project! As you noticed, you need to purchase the course to get access to the 40+ videos included in the Bind-Offs class. However, we do offer access to all our classes to our Premium Monthly and Lifetime members which you may want to look into as an option. You can learn more at www.KnitFreedom.com/Premium :)
I like the look as it matches a long-tail cast on nicely, but why would I want a cast-off that rolls? I can't think of a time when that is a good thing...
Why would you demonstrate "Perfect Bind-Off for Garter Stitch" on stockinette stitch? No garter stitch anywhere. And why would you want a bind-off that rolls forward, especially with stockinette stitch, which tends to curl already? Why do you always demonstrate with terrible yarn that's splitting, causing confusing slip-ups that have nothing to do with the stitch pattern?

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this! Really came in handy for my Adama Shawl.
Thank you! Lovely bind off and explained so well!
Thank you so much! I love this bind-off still :D
I think this will work for a seed stitch dishcloth. Thank you so much.
This is a great tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you for such clear instructions.
I really love this bind off and have just used it for my Oblique Rib stitch scarf, but did not pull the yarn through the last stitch, which I find very ugly.
Is it better to do this bind off on a right side row, or wrong side row? Thanks!
Love your needles. What kind are they?

I'm trying to fund how to knit legs for a dog sweater. Not alot of videos for this.

Thank you for the video! I'm using it on my Wonder Woman Wrap!
Прекрасный способ,спасибо я о нем не знала.

It's mostly used to bind off on Garter stitch, and Garter stitch doesn't roll. :)
I'm making an ear band that starts with a rolled edge and I want it to finish with the rolled edge.
