Thanks to Jeny Staiman, the knitting world now has a bind off stretchy enough to suit any situation. If you’ve avoided toe-up socks or trembled as you bound off necklines (wondering if your head would make it through), fear no more. Jeny’s ingenious technique will solve your problems forever. Her bungee-cord-like bind-off even hinges at the knit and purl changes, to thrill the perfectionist in you.

   This is my third time using this bind off on an infinity scarf. I LOVE it! Thanks again to Cat and Jeny!

   And just used this method again for a bell sleeve cuff, in lieu of a «loose BO». Perfect on all counts!!!

   Thanks you! I have been looking for a truly stretchy bind off and this is it! I using it right now on an infinity scarf I knitted for my daughter. You and Jeny ROCK!

   Thanks so much! I am making the swirl sweater pattern from the book you wrote and this made it perfectly clear how to do the JSSBO. I adore your book and making the sweater is so much fun!

   Brilliant! I needed some way to bind off the band of a hat. It was nice stretchy ribbing, but the bindoff would not fit over the head. This technique was perfect. Thank you.

   Hi, Cat! I gotta say, this very quickly became my favorite all-purpose bind-off. I’ve found that using a crochet hook in place of the right-hand needle makes it faster, easier, and more even—especially when you’re BO’ing 900 stitches on a shawl edge!

   Thanks for the video! You and Jeny rock. 🙂

   Thank you for this video! I did manage to figure it out, though I am not a continental knitter. The purl one was harder for me, but when I did figure it out I found that I’m doing the knit ones in continental style. I’d like to learn to do it throwing because it’s a pain to switch back and forth. Thank you again!

    This really is a great bind-off! Still, if I may be so presumptuous as to offer advice on anything Cat Bordhi does:

    1) If you’re doing it for the first time, and especially if you’re also going to use it on a project knitted in thin and not-so-stretchy sock yarn, practice it on a separate piece first. You’ll be glad you did!

    2) If you’re a generally a tight knitter, now is the time to loosen up a little; it will make that pass over a lot easier, especially on the knit stitches.

    Do you have any idea how wonderful you are!! lol! I LOVE all of your videos! Without you, i would not be a addicted knitter!! Thank you so much! I am doing Melissa Morgan Oaks two at a time toe up socks right now and was trying to figure out how to make them stretchy for my youngest daughter…this is perfect!!!!! Love you Cat!

    Thank you so much for this demo Cat! I just finished using it for my toe up sock on two circulars. What a clean finish! And thank you for that lovely last stitch. Very exciting to get such good results on the finish.

    Best thing about this video is the last trick! I love this finish, it’s smooth and seamless. Thank you so much for adding it! :’)

    @catbordhi
    I totally agree with this: I’ve gradually decreased the number of stitches for my socks — regardless of what patterns say or what swatching dictates! — from 64 sts to, now, 56! That, plus taking into consideration the yarn which is always different no matter what the label…blah, blah blah/whine whine whine :^)

    Thanks! Works great for my dogs’ sweaters. Makes it easy to put a sweater on a squirmy dog who’s in a hurry to get out the door! 🙂

    @TheKnitternut I agree. I forgot to mention the little tidbit. I have been oversewing because I’m afraid that it will come undone. I get it now, finally.

    Again, Thankyou Cat. I have been doing a stretchy bind off but didn’t do the purl stitch. It looks quite nice and is stretchy but from now on I will use this method.
    Another thing, I haven’t understood which way the yarn overs go. Thankyou, thankyou, I finally get it. As usual Cat a truly wonderful video.

    Whoa!! Slow down!! Way too fast and I HATE having to pause and go back like a million times trying to follow along.

23. openbook1901:

    Could you do this with lace or does it have to be a rib to work properly?

24. TheKnitternut:

    07.12.2011 в 5:25 дп

    This is awesome! I love the last little tidbit about how to end the cast off. I have always hated that last stitch, now I’m good!
