Cozy Elastic Bind Off for #lifeiscozy_tutorials ➰
Happy and a bit nervous to share my self-invented technique with you ☺️
I was searching for a way to bind off the ribbing that would give me a very elastic yet not too loose edge and could be performed without the grafting needle. This search ended up with the invention of this method, which is actually a combination of several bind off techniques. I love to use it for all kinds of cuffs, as exept for the elasticity it also has a very nice braid-like edge that polishes the look of a garment ✨
Both the video and the instructions are for 1x1 ribbing. But this bind off can be also used for any other ribbing (2x2, 3x1, etc.) - just repeat the part for knit and purl stitches the desired number of times.
