Thank you for this video! I always forget how to bind off my work when I’ve worked on a blanket or some thing. I always end up going back to this video. I wish I could give it more than one thumbs up. Thank you so much!
i love this, less chance to stretch the stitches unevenly, simpler and quicker! As always you are a wonder and wonderful teacher with such even neat knitting.Thanx I love that such skills have turned everyday knitting into a fine art!
What perfect timing! I was looking for this exact bind off but I had forgotten what it was called. I love doing this way better than the old way. This seems cleaner and more uniformed than binding off one stitch at a time. Thank you for sharing!
Traditionally, stitches are bound off as knits in the Russian knitting style, but this method also works well for binding off stitches in pattern (knits as knits and purls as purls). Happy knitting :-)
@@10rowsaday thank you! Do you have a video on increases and decrease in this method? I just learned "combined knitting" is that the same as russian? It looks really similar!
That's right - we knit two stitches together through the back loop. In Russian knitting, this forms a chain of stitches at the top of the bind off edge.
on my humble opinion, I suppose you can and that is what I'm going to try next time I bind of western style, although it may be best if you change each stitch to the back (eastern) leg it will work just like the video, just and extra step,,we shall see. I love this method
Yes, you can use the same bind off method when you work using a classic knitting style. The bind off edge will look different - there won't be a chain of stitches but rather a set of bumps - but the edge will be more elastic than the edge formed by the regular bind off. Or, you can follow Johnnie's advice and turn each stitch before you bind it off. Good luck :-)
That's a great solution, Johnnie. You can also use the same bind off method without turning stitches. The edge will look different but it will be more elastic than the edge formed by the regular bind off technique. Happy knitting :-)

Is it the same concept if its the purl side? 😊

This seems very similar to the English way knit 2 together but thru back of loops?

Thank you! I'll have to try Russian Knitting. Can this bind off be used with regular knit pieces?
