I usually use a K2tog Through the Back Loops Bind Off for my shawls, but I’m definitely going to be using this bind off on my next lace project. I love how neat and tidy it looks while also providing stretch.
Have you used this bind off before? Tell us all about it!
I used to use this bind off stitch often & loved how neat it looked ! Then 5 yrs. ago I had a stroke & had forgotten how to do it and what to use it on. I have recently started knitting (and some crocheting) again 🤗 So thank you very much for publishing this “How To” it has helped me so much! I love your newsletter.
Show video of cast off
Sounds like a long-term plan for casting off

Love all your projects ro me all of them new. I appreciate it very much. Thanks
I have used this for some time. didn't know it's name. Like the finish doing it this way.
I am intrigued. I have heard of this on occasion but never checked it out. Hope I can remember when I get to my next bind off. I am in sewing mode lately so no WIP's right now. Thank You.
This looks like the Kitchener stitch.
