The Icelandic bind off leaves a lovely braided like edge. There is not a cast on to match it (that I know of), so I made one up! Here's my "unvented" Icelandic cast on. In case you've never seen the Icelandic bind off, I demo that too!
I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any help you can give me
@James Dayton thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
This is genius! I tried to figure something out to match the icelandic bind off after I found it a couple of years ago and just could not wrap my mind around how to make a similar cast on. This is perfection!
This has become my go-to CO for many projects. ❤ It provides a lovely, substantial beginning & best of all, no worries about not having enough or too much yarn with a longtail CO. Thank you! 🌻
Thank you for this! I've worked out a way to do this with the tail and then knit across with the working yarn to blend in with garter stitch. It looks so good. You could do it with the working yarn and then purl all the garter but I like what I've created from your video, thanks.
Dear Miss Patty, thanks so much for this fantastic technique I never heard of before. I tried it and am surprised at how easy it is. Just subbed! 👍😊😊 By the way, your channel was a YT recommendation 😍
i wish i had found this two weeks ago. i'm almost finished with a cowl that i decided i want an icelandic bind off for but i couldnt find anything that matched so i decided to use a provisional caston and bind off both sides at the end. this wouldve saved me soooooooo much time 🤦🏼♂️
*BEAUTIFUL!* I love the Icelandic bind off and I am amazed at the matching cast on! Do you find the cast on to be nice and stretchy? (totally subscribed!)
the question as I watch the video again... what if I work a project with the cast on and bind off then pick up stitches on the sides and do the bind off... I think that that might be a nice edging for a textured baby blanket or an afghan or hmmm ideas go on...
You down size the needle for the cast on. Do you do anything up or down for the bind off. I was looking for a different edge to the Linen stitch scarf that tends to curve instead of laying perfectly straight -- at least for me.
If you follow me on Instagram you'll find many mini videos. I did one on the difference between a modified passover and the icelandic bind off. I show unraveling them both - instagram.com/reel/Cwcut0CsnP2/
I love the Icelandic bind off, I'll now try the Icelandic cast on...thank you. Do you know of a good bind off to go with the Chinese waitress cast on? :-)
I'd have to look at it again. I remember not being in love with that cast on as I thought it was a whole lot of trouble (many moves for one stitch) for something that didn't look as nice as many other cast ons. I'd probably do some variation of a 1/2 double crochet bind off.
@@PattyLyonsKnitting really? I love the way the Chinese waitress cast on looks, especially with basic brioche; I don't find it too fiddly at all...but trying to find a cast off for it has been a challenge.
@@gilliantherese7202 Oh, it looks fine, it just takes 3 moves to get one stitch on the needle and there are so many other cast ons (like this one) that create a lovely edge w/o so much fuss. I'll give it another try, just didn't like doing it.
That depends on the knitter & the yarn. How do we find out if we want to use something we swatch. Cast on with the yarn you want to use and give it a try
@@PattyLyonsKnitting should I follow the exact instructions in the video if I were binding off a twisted rib? Because I’m following the video exactly for my twisted rib but my Icelandic bind off is turning out not stretchy almost at all. Why?
