Mini Technique Review: Russian Bind Off
Saturday, August 16th, 2008When I knit socks toe up, I use a sewn bind off, but that’s a bit clunky for shawls and wraps, I never seem to be able to estimate how much yarn I will use and end up cutting it too short of too long.
My favourite bind off for larger items that need a stretchy, loose bind off is the Russian Bind Off, illustrated below.
It’s stretchy, loose, easy to remember and execute.
Highly recommended.
