The rule to remember for this technique is:
•Before every knit stitch, work a reverse yarn-over. Knit the stitch. Bind off.
•Before every purl stitch, work a regular yarn-over. Purl the stitch. Bind off.
You'll see in the video how I do it.
And that's it! It's really super easy and simple! This creates a REALLLLLY stretchy bind off that is great for socks, shawls, scarves, sweaters and any other project where you want an incredibly stretchy bind off. It will change your knitting life forever!
I show you how to do this on some 1x1 ribbing I created.
However, what if you have 2x2 ribbing? Or all the stitches are knit? Or all of them are purl?
You can still definitely work this method! Just stick with the same rule listed above of doing a reverse yarn-over before every knit stitch and a regular yarn-over before every purl stitch. And voila. You will end up with a gorgeous, springy, stretchy edging that will make your knitted projects sigh with relief and glee.
There's nothing worse than spending weeks creating a project you love only to cast off (bind off) too tightly and find that the item doesn't fit over your hips or heel or head. EGADS! Nobody wants that!
I use this bind-off in almost EVERYTHING I make where I need a stretchy edge and highly recommend you add it to your list of bind-off techniques.

Chandi, this is such a great video! You so easily explain and show us how to do Jeni’s Stretchy Bind Off. And thanks for showing us all the different knitted items that you used this stretchy bind off on. Now that I know how to do this, I think I’ll be using it on just about everything I knit!

Thank you for this bind-off video, Chandi! I am a novice knitter and your videos are sooooo helpful. I wanted a stretchy bind off for my Sugarblush shawl (which has been a delight to knit) and ..... have loved this yarn. Lo and behold, you video was exactly what I envisioned! Almost sad to bind it off, but now I will get to use it!! Next I am on to the Seren shawl with your Cornsilk yarn! Excited about this pattern also.

Have you considered using a crochet hook to bind off or is that some kind of no-no? I mostly crochet but want to start knitting more so I was wondering, it just seams like it would be easier.

Hi. I am made a piece that is entirely garter stitch and another piece that is mainly purled. How do I apply the stretchy bind off technique?

@lynnwelborn843 10 жыл бұрын

Renee, not sure that Chandi ever responded but it seems from the video that it you have all garter (knit) then you would use the knit and reverse Y/O for all stitches. With the mainly purl, you'd use the regular YO. Whatever your stitch is, you'd use that particular type stretchy bindoff. Hope this helps. Lynn

@ReneeFourman-redalmondbeauty88 10 жыл бұрын

It does help. I just don't know what Y/O and YO is off the top of my head.

Jeny, Love your vids! For this one, is there annnny way that you can show that one more up close and in slower motion! You'd be a real doll! Your very first video, the one that was really up close was excellent, that's what made me subscribe in the first place! it was clear, very detailed, NOT old lol, and very up close! It helped me sooooo much as a beginner! I was soooo thankful-still am! Please help thanks! Congrats on your wedding too! Smooches!

I would've preferred this to have been done on garter stitch or stockinette stitch Bc I don't think it really shows how stretchy the bind off really is Bc knit 1 purl 1 rib is pretty stretchy just by itself

I didn't understand

@Berrrrryl 6 жыл бұрын

So what I've gathered is that depending on the stitch you are casting off e.g. knit (let's call it "stitch A"), you wrap the yarn around your needle to the back as if you were knitting normally with an extra loop (B) on your needle. You continue to knit stitch and finish off by pulling over the two loops you had on your needle over stitch A. Whereas a purl you'll wrap the yarn the opposite way so the yarn sits in front of your work as you would for a normal purl continue with the same directions above ^ Hope this made sense..took me a bit to get it from this video too (and sorry it's such a late reply) :3 Hopefully this helped others who didn't get it also
