This video demonstrates The Sewn Bind Off (there are other types of sewn bind offs, but this one is the sewn bind off, first described by Elizabeth Zimmermann in her book KNITTING WITHOUT TEARS (I incorrectly stated in the video that it was from THE OPINIONATED KNITTER.) Sewn bind offs produce a finished edge that will stretch as much as the fabric itself, making them ideal for projects where maximum stretch is a requirement.

What a great bind off, and perfectly explained and demonstrated too! Thank you. You continue to be the best knitting guide on the internet.

I love how you explain the mechanics behind the bind-off - how each stitch is gone through three times, it's what made me remeber the entire process, thank you!

Currently have the first sock of a pair on my two circulars, toe up. Will use this bind off. Fun to try new things! Thanks for such an excellent video. I appreciate : 1) no background music to compete with voice 2) straight forward directions given in a simple direct manner 3) well lit and clear view of close up knitting. Very professionally done, almost like a classroom experience. Thank you.

Thank you. I have tried too many supposedly ‘stretchy’ bind offs on my socks and had to rip undone because not stretchy enough for my sock or else it looked too flared and unattractive. This The Sewn Bind Off is perfect 👍 thank you 🙏

The timing of this is perfect. I just agreed to make some knitted slipper/boot things and it has a piece around the calf and this will make sure it stretches just as nicely on the top as the bottom. Gorgeous!

Oh gosh thank you for this. My last afghan ended up less stretchy on the bind off edge and it really bothered me. I just bound off my newest afghan and it’s perfect, straight, no flare, neat and stretchy!

Yahoo!!! Finally got to try it (The Sewn Bindoff). Had to make some socks first. Fantastic! All my previous stretchy bindings still bound. I could feel the right band of binding off until the sock was on - then it was fine. The Sewn Bindoff doesn't do that. It's perfect. And looks nice,too. Thanks for such a clear description and teaching style. It will be my go-to.

Seems like a good cast off method for around neck of toddler sweater, so can stretch over their heads easier.

@RoxanneRichardson 4 жыл бұрын

Possibly, if the opening and ribbing itself is able to stretch over the head. V-necks, cardigans, and buttoned shoulders are often used for babies and toddlers sweaters, because their heads are so large in proportion to the rest of their bodies.

Can I use this as my default/go to cast off method for all my knitting or are there projects it shouldnt be used for. Thx!

@RoxanneRichardson 4 жыл бұрын

That depends on what you need from your bind off, in terms of utility and aesthetics. Not all edges need to be that stretchy; in some cases, they need to be firm. Only you can answer the question about aesthetics when it comes to your own projects. I don't think I've ever encountered a technique that I would could consider the best choice in all situations.
