I don't think that will happen in this case, because you're not putting a lot of stress on the yarn in this bind-off, but it's important to know.Īlso be careful because, like all sewn bind-offs, this bind-off is difficult and time-consuming to undo. If you are using a delicate, one-ply yarn like Noro or Malabrigo Worsted, it could break. It is also quite slow (which is the norm for sewn bind-offs of any kind).Ī warning for you about sewn bind-offs and delicate yarn: Any time that you're using a delicate yarn, you'll want to be careful when doing a sewn bind-off because you are pulling on the yarn more than you would for a knitted bind-off. This bind-off does have the tendency to roll forward, which is fine as long as it doesn’t take you by surprise. It really only has two movements so, as an introduction to sewn bind-offs, this one is great. That’s all, folks.When I tried this bind-off I was surprised at how easy it was. Put new stitch on right needle back on left needle and repeat from * till 1 stitch left. Sl both stitches off left needle together. *K 2nd stitch through first stitch’s loop. I learned about it in Myrna Stahman’s Shawls and Scarves book: Though the video clip here is only 36 seconds, it is really all you need to acquire this technique. Knitting is my retreat.Īnother stretchy, loose, and elegant bind-off used on the sweater coat’s pocket ribbing was the icelandic method. After watching my favorite 9-minute video on this practical technique, get some needles, a bit of yarn, and have at it. It takes longer to bind off (flat and in-a-round ) but, the finishing is much nicer, springy, than other methods (including my favorite EZ-Sewn Bind Off.) This version is good for sock cuffs and other things that have negative ease since it really wants to be the size of slightly stretched ribbing rather than the size of totally pulled-in ribbing. Now, rearrange knit stitches on a circular or double-point needle (place in front with work facing me) while purl stitches on another needle (place in back. Row 2: *Ytf, S1, ytb, K1 repeat from* around. Row 1: *K1, ytf, S1, ytb repeat from* around. Preceding bind-off, you knit two rows in 1×1 ribbing as you would in double knitting or Tubular Cast on set-up rows: Tubular bind off with its matching cast on not only forms a beautifully rounded edge, it is a nice change from a regular bound off. I’ve always felt a matching bind off is an important element in a garment’s construction. But mostly, I love the preliminary try on’s…īefore leaving for the holiday, I left you with a pictorial on Tubular Cast on, the Italian way. I love the construction, the saddled shoulders, cable work, bobbles, seed/moss, moss/seed diamond, waist/sleeve shaping, new techniques, and the button holes.
Once blocked and with buttons…I will have a more in depth talk with you about this pattern. Details will have to wait as I am just unpacking from a week-long travel… there are so many things about the sweater coat I love.
Believe it or not…the Saddled Aran Sweater (now turned into a swing coat) is all knit up. There has been knitting…and fabulous knitting if I must say so myself. Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving as I had.
