This video demonstrates how I work the Picot Bind Off Method. It is a pretty and decorative way to finish off knitting, which results in a small row of bumps along the edge of your work.

Oh, I just did as you suggested re: slowing down the speed of your talking, and...IT WORKED! How nice to have a wonderful method for the bind off picot stitch but also a teacher who knows how to set speed of lesson so that it slow enough that I can knit along WITH you as you are demonstrating the technique!!!! So exciting. I was concerned that decreasing the speed would both distort and deepen you voice, but that was not what happened: your voice remained normal but the lesson was just fine! Yay!

This is the best, most completely helpful Picot Stitch tutorial I have come upon - Thank you!

@britacarhart1643 Месяц назад

So well explained and demonstrated. Thank you so much!❤

@kathleen1682 5 лет назад

Thank you for being so clear with your instructions. Best knitting video I have seen in awhile!

@barbaradaiute3313 4 года назад

I have been watching video on the picot bind off for over an hour, and finally found yours. In minutes I've learned it and now I can do it without help! Thanks you so much. You made me see how easy it is!!!

@momgrandma5496 7 лет назад

Having watched several picot bind offs, yours is the one I’ll be using. Thanks for the close up and concise directions. : )

@c.a.s.9470 5 лет назад

As the previous poster wrote I, too, have watched several, and have used yours, it makes the most sense and your visual on the video is the best I've viewed. Thank you.

@azraikezoe388 5 лет назад

Thanks for the clearest speaking directions with out distracting music, just sounds from outdoor animals trying to out sound your voice. Good explanation and reasoning.

@michellehenderson5094 7 лет назад

Thank you! I'm working on a shawl right now that calls for a picot bind off! I've never tried it before since most of the tutorial videos confuse me, but this was crystal clear.

@TheSweaterCollective 7 лет назад

That's such wonderful feedback, thank you Michelle! I'm really glad it was helpful :)

@marinazagrai1623 Год назад

I never heard of either on/off cast till I found this pattern for a cowl. I went to three other channels (?) and the comments are true, yours is the best I’ve found (the camera made me dizzy on one, and the other it was a man showing this strategy and sorry, but I can’t listen to a man explaining this).

@beverlyhorn4741 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this! My pattern instructions were quite incomprehensible.

@kristinaherold29 3 года назад

This my favorite picot bind off stitch and you are a wonderful teacher. I have one request: would you do it a tiny bit slower? I’m trying to write it down just for myself (at 79 years old, my short-term memory has got some glue in it) and I can’t write fast enough to keep up with your speaking. Thanks so much for posting this lovely way of doing the bind off picot knitted stitch. Kristina

@TheSweaterCollective 3 года назад

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Kristina! If it helps, there's actually an option to slow down a video's playback speed on RU-vid. On a phone or tablet, you just need to tap the 3 vertical dots in the top right hand corner of the video, tap "Playback speed", and then select your choice of alternate tempo. On a desktop computer, the speed options are under the picture of a cog in the bottom right hand corner of the video. The slower the speed, the sillier the audio sounds, but hopefully it's still useful for transcribing!

@eliedgecomb4903 2 года назад

@dinahhoyttaylor1117 4 года назад

I'm so happy I found this! Years ago we used to make wool ski caps with an inside hem of an angora/lambswool blend, to go around the forhead. Back then we called it an Eyelet round, and after we did that round, we would knit the same number of rows with the main color and then fold and knit them together like you did, and continue on with the hat which was generally a peaked top (like the Stowe hat). The main wool was way too itchy because the kids were sweating a lot from running gates or racing. I lost the directions and just couldn't seem to remember the method. Thank you so much for your video! You are a gem for posting it.

Is there a specific number of stitches this will work over, or a specific multiple? This is so beautiful, and would make the hem of a sweater unique

@marywanamaker2700 2 месяца назад

Great video, I do have a question, if I wanted to make the picot longer would I just add more stitches? I’m new to knitting. Thanks for a very clear and informative video.

@Lynne-G 6 лет назад

thank you for clear instructions. you mentioned it takes more yarn to normally do this bind off. do you know, or does anyone else know who may read these comments what the percentage of yarn you would need to use TIA

@avlawerd59 4 года назад

Ha, that was very good, thank you. 😁

@janetd4701 Год назад

Can you tell me how much more yarn this bind off requires?

@brittany45 6 лет назад

Would this be considered a '2 stitch picot bind-off'? My pattern 'Lotus baby blanket' has a modification for a girl-ier edge but it just says to use the 2 stitch picot bind-off, but no instructions on how to *do* said bind off :/

@qldteacher 6 лет назад

@TheSweaterCollective 6 лет назад

@Susannegaard Год назад

I have a question about the bind off, how is the elasticity of this method, do you recommend to use bigger needles? 🥰 thank you for a great video

@nobleelf Месяц назад

I don't know if the different cast-on methods make a difference, but Stephen West's cable cast on for the Picot Bind off is really stretchy, using the same needle as for the project.

@cynthiasmith5138 5 лет назад

I like this!

@solosamuraiz1526 7 месяцев назад

My instructions say to cast on 2 sts from the back loop not the normal front

@darlenecrowe3025 4 года назад

I’m working on a shawl that has a BO as follows (BO while working M3 into each stitch across). M3 being (k1,p1,k1) into same stitch. Unfortunately I only know how to complete a standard BO. I sought help on the M3 BO from some forums and yarn stores. All have never heard of BO while working M3 into each stitch across. There suggestion was to do a picot bind off. Have you ever heard of this BO method and if so could you walk me through the steps. Thank you.

@TheSweaterCollective 4 года назад

Hi Darlene, I'm sorry to say that I'm also in the same boat and have never heard of this sort of bind off before. To me, it's an unclear way to describe the picot bind off, but I agree that it also sounds like the closest option. Perhaps it means "M3, BO 4" all the way across? That way you would create picots, but also gradually bind off your live stitches. Though if it's possible, I would strongly recommend getting in touch with the designer of the shawl and asking them to clarify what they mean.

@jannaaltinsoy5748 5 лет назад

Hi, do you think a picot cast off like this would be suitable for 3ply yarn on a shawl? Thank you 😊

@rozelynn8040 3 года назад

Very nice. Are you working the picots from the front side of the work, or the back? It looks like the back side.

@TheSweaterCollective 3 года назад

Thank you! I always use this method to bind off when the right side of my work is facing. You could also use it when the wrong side is facing, it's just that the other side of the picots would be what's shown off in the finished project.

@dmercier6437 7 лет назад

Found this very helpful and will refer to it when I go to cast off the shawl I am working on. Any thoughts on which stitch to add a bead to when doing this bind off?

@TheSweaterCollective 7 лет назад

Thank you, and that's a great question! I haven't had much practice with beading myself, but I think it will depend on if you want the beads to sit in the middle of each picot, or the bind off gaps between them. Probably try adding it to the first "knit 1" worked after the cast on stitches if you want it in the approximate middle of the picots. Hope that helps! :)

@sandydevries 4 года назад

I am making a short sleeve sweater. Would this work on "button band" if i do the band in ribbing? The sweater is a chevron pattern with the resulting chevron--peak and vally bottom. . The front of sweater ended up narrow, trying to figure out how to add an inch and a picot edge would certainly dress up the ridge.

@TheSweaterCollective 4 года назад

I would definitely try it! You may need to play around with the spacing of the picots to make sure you like their positioning above the knit and purl columns of ribbing. But in theory there's no reason why picots shouldn't work along the edging!

@TattooedAussieChick 4 года назад

When I do the cast on I usually twist the stitch before placing onto the needle. Which way is correct?

@TheSweaterCollective 4 года назад

If you like how it looks and feels when you twist the stitch, then you can keep doing it that way! It's not necessarily incorrect, it's just not the standard way of doing the knitted cast on method

@kjacobsen43 6 лет назад

I am doing a Picot bind off for a shawl. I have never done this before. The instructions say cast 2 stitches on,cast off 5, slip the remaining stitch back to the left needle. This is all it says. Nothing about knitting any between. Is this an error? Or what do I do?

@TheSweaterCollective 6 лет назад

Hi Kim! That sounds like you need to do exactly as demonstrated in the video but after casting on 2 stitches you work a "knit 1, pass first worked stitch over the last" 5 times instead of 4. It's not an error in your instructions, it just doesn't have a suggested bind off method. Try working it exactly as shown except with an extra bound off stitch and it should work out perfectly! I hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions :)

@ERIN478 2 года назад

Really clear, helpful video! Are you going to do one for the picot cast-on?

@TheSweaterCollective 2 года назад

Thank you! Ooh that's a great suggestion - I hadn't planned it, but I can certainly pop that on my future tutorials list! ♥️

@bsfb3ar Год назад

Is this method stretchy? Thanks

@nobleelf Месяц назад

Not sure if the different cast-on method used here makes a difference, but the picot bind off method from Stephen West uses a cable cast on, and it's super stretchy, as well as goes back into place nicely

@casagrandecats 6 лет назад

Could this be used for the top of a sock instead of k p ribbing?

@TheSweaterCollective 6 лет назад

Sandra Casagrande absolutely! I've never tried it myself, but I've seen a lot of other people use picot bind offs on socks instead of a cuff, and it looks really pretty! :)

@casagrandecats 6 лет назад

The Sweater Collective ....thanks. I just didnt know if it would curl. Guess ill have to do it to find out

@TheSweaterCollective 6 лет назад

Sandra Casagrande it can look quite nice to work a few rounds of garter stitch before beginning the picots, which would help prevent curling!

@casagrandecats 6 лет назад

The Sweater Collective so then doing socks in the round I would purl a few rounds before the picot round?

@TheSweaterCollective 6 лет назад

If you want a proper garter stitch you'll need to alternate between knitting and purling, so you'll knit a round, purl a round, knit a round, purl a round, etc. until the garter stitch reaches the desired length. You will get the appearance of a small seam where you change from ending a knit round/starting a purl round, but that can be hidden at the back of the leg or inside edge of your sock by simply moving the point at which you switch rounds. You could just purl every round, but that might also cause a little bit of curling because it's still stockinette stitch, just in reverse. I hope that helps, and let me know if you'd like me to clarify anything! :)

@nellslocumb5183 6 лет назад

Very concise visual but the closed caption is very poorly written. Closed caption has confused wording and doesn’t match your visual. Also misspelled words. If this was corrected for those of us who have to visualize and read the instructions, your corrections would help greatly. As for the visual, it is the best that I have seen and creates a beautiful picot.

@TheSweaterCollective 6 лет назад

Nell Slocumb Hi Nell, thank you for your feedback! I'm still learning how to use closed captions and only figured out how to add them to the videos recently. They've been automatically generated by RU-vid, but I didn't know they could also be manually corrected, so thank you for mentioning it! I will do my best to fix it :)

@poorsusanliber 5 лет назад

the video I see is not for picot bind off - it is for twisted make 1 stitch from a YO

@TheSweaterCollective 5 лет назад

Hi Susan! I don't understand your comment sorry - are you sure it's this video you mean, and have you watched it in full? As demonstrated, you need to cast on 2 stitches, which I do using the knitted cast on method, and then following that 4 stitches are cast off, creating the picots. There's no making stitches from yo's required
