A great option for continental knitters to work the Chinese Waitress Bind Off.

That bind off is a lot like Jenny's Surprising Bind Off! I have to try it out, thanks for sharing.

What a cool bind off! As a Continental knitter this should work out just fine! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you thank you thank you! The 2 needle approach looked so awkward, lifting the two stitches individually over the new. This looks far easier. I have well over 400 stitches I need to bind off, and now I'm not fretting about it! 👍

Love this bind off technique and you so patiently explained the method. Would it be suitable for binding off the rib cuff on toe up sox.

Perfect!!! I am a 'life-long' crocheter who knits (continental style). Question, you recommend using smaller needles to bind off cwbo. Do you also use a smaller hook??? This is the perfect mirror to the cwco. So, in that vein, if you slip the last two stitches of your knitting pwyif, you get beautiful matching edges all the way around! :D

Hi Ellen, I came here to ask the same question. After further thought, I believe I will drop down one or two hook sizes to the corresponding needle size. I’m going to play with this on scrap yarn for a little while and see what I think. I’m currently just a casual knitter who learned continental, and dabbled in crochet a couple decades ago. My knitting is now primarily to keep my arthritic fingers limber (family, friends and the local mission get boatloads of scarves at Christmas). I’ve never been happy with the standard cast-on, bind-off; I’m just giddy over the Chinese Waitress methods, and I haven’t even attempted them yet. 😊

Is this bind off used for any purpose or a particular purpose? It does look lovely. 😄

This might be a little late for your purposes, but... it is a mirror to the Chinese Waitress cast-on (which, imho, is the most beautiful cast-on there is). Both produce a beautiful double chain edge. They're reasonably stretchy, too. I use the cast-on now, in place of the long tail cast-on, and now I'll be using this in place of a regular bind off too

Thanks a million. Just tried this out on a sock and it's looking fine. I usually use a crochet hook to bind off with Jenny's. I like this better.
