Elisabeth Zimmerman's sewn bind off

Thank you so much! It did help a lot! :)

thank you - proving once again a picture is worth a thousand words :)

thank you for this...but does this method work for a 1x1 rib stitch as well? and how do you do the last couple of stitches?

It works for everything - ribbing, stockinette, any pattern. It's not my favorite bind-off, but it is good for some things. For the last few stitches (in the round), I usually pick up the loops of the first stitches I bound off then go through them again. For flat, I would just go through the last stitch twice so it's not loose, or do whatever looks right. As long as the yarn goes through the loop at least once, it won't unravel. Thanks for the comment!

THANK YOU! Kannd86, for making this swell tutorial! Without your help, I, a novice knitter and visual learner, would never have been able to understand the written bind-off instructions in the neckwarmer pattern I'm using.

You're welcome. :)

VERY helpful!! thank so much or posting!!

thank you!!! :)

I KNOW this from EZ's KNITTING WORSHOP book on pp.48-49. In that book she illustrates & also explains that it should be done from left-to-right. She also suggests removing the knitting needles BEFORE doing this, as she calls it CASTING-ON CASTING OFF. I haven't been brave enough to do that yet : )

thanks for this video :) i came looking for how to do this bind off for the very same bolero you demonstrate it on!
