How to Knit: a LACY SCALLOP BIND-OFF | Easy Knitting Pattern for a Pretty Scalloped Edging

This simple tutorial demonstrates how to knit a shell scallop edge whilst binding off. The pattern requires you to cast on (using a backwards loop cast on) in the middle of a row, and then bind off all of these extra stitches on the following row. It is this quick & drastic reduction in stitch number that creates the wavy edge :)
I hope you enjoy this video!

I enjoyed your tutorial and ended up using this lovely edge stitch in a shawl pattern designed for our yarn shop in Florida. I wondered if I could have your approval to link this video within the pattern instructions. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Going to try it out on a baby tunic I'm knitting because the original pattern just has a plain cast off border, which is boring.

Very easy. Seems easy to make the scallops bigger...I assume I found just cast off more between scallops and cast on more backwards loops as long as it's an odd number

@RokoleeDIY 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the late reply, but yes you can quite easily alter the pattern by doing more cast on stitches - which as you said needs to be an odd number - and more knit stitches & bind offs if you want to add a bit more stability. Just make sure you start with a number of stitches that will work for the pattern :)

If I'm knitting in the round, should I Bind off the final row purl wise? I'd prefer it lay flat like your example. Thank you!

Yes I think so!

@heathermcdonnell842 Жыл бұрын

This is so pretty! I have 71 stitches so how many stitches would I bind off and how many would I add on?

@RokoleeDIY Жыл бұрын

Hi! You need to get to a multiple of 3 stitches, plus 1. So you can either increase to 73 stitches or decrease to 70 stitches :)

can you make this at the beginning of your work and match it at the end both? ends?

@RokoleeDIY Жыл бұрын

Sorry for the late reply! Unfortunately you can't do this same method for cast on and bind off. This would be the closest method I have for a cast on: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qc18eKaBsZ3Gpnk.html However, you could work around that by making a short piece of knitting with this bind off, then sewing it onto the beginning of your knitting. So you'd be basically sewing a bound off edge onto your starting edge. Hope that helps!

@teresaolofson8187 Жыл бұрын

can you make this in the round?

@RokoleeDIY Жыл бұрын

Yes, I think it should work if you make sure you have a multiple of 3 stitches then repeat *cast on 7 stitches & slip those 7 sts (as shown in the video), then (k1, bind off 1)x3 Then on the next row bind all of those sts off. :)

@Alexis-tq5zi Жыл бұрын

Are all the rest of the rows a repeat of row 1?

@RokoleeDIY Жыл бұрын

Hi! No row 1 is just followed once, then you bind off on the next row - I just use the knit bind off method for this :)

What if I already knit 100 stitches, do I still have to cast on extra 7 stitches for each scallop wave? I am trying to bind off my kneck warmer soon and I wanna do this.

@RokoleeDIY 2 ай бұрын

Sorry for the late reply. Yes you would follow the video exactly as it is. You'll end up with a fair few more stitches on your needles so make sure you are using circular needles with a long enough cable :)
