Cast-off knitting can be done in a variety of ways. There are three main methods for casting off knitting: the Picot cast-off (Stretchy), the Three-needle, and the Picot stretchy bindoff. Each has pros and cons and you should choose one that you like. The best way to start is to loosen up the tension in the work. This will allow you to prevent the edge becoming too tight, making it more difficult to stretch.
Stretchy bind-off
A stretchy binder can be used to successfully finish knitting projects. This is similar to the traditional method of binding off knitted pieces, but it uses the yarn-over technique. The yarn is layered over the previous stitch, and the piece will have a stretched edge. It's especially useful to make ribbed edges, or a toe up sock cuff.
A knit bind off is a method for tying off a knitted item. However, this is only one type of tying off. While it does not offer the same benefits as a knitting bind-off this method can still be helpful if you knit garments with loose fitting or additional give. The following are a few tips on using a stretchy bind-off on a knitted piece.
Picot cast-off
A picot cast off is a nice finishing technique that adds elegance to plain edges. It can be used with either a provisional cast-on or picked-up stitches. Picot binding is elegant and can be used for any knitted project. This is a great bind off for sweaters but it can also be used to make socks or mittens. Here are some suggestions for making a picot bound off.
For each picot, make a chain with two stitches. You will need two stitch for every picot and two more for each stitch that is knit. To make the chain, you will need an additional strand of yarn. For each picot cast off, you will need about a ten inch tail. After the chain casting is completed, the extra yarn will be used to hold the stitches in place.
Three-needle bind-off
The three-needle tie-off is an easy method of joining two sets without needing to sew. It leaves a clean edge and is often used in decorative seams, such as in a Lenina pattern. It is necessary to have the same number and size of live stitches on both needles. The size of the third needle must be equal to the size of the two working ones. The needle should be long enough so that it can be inserted into the first stitch on each of the needles.
Start by placing two needles paralleled to the work. Insert the third needle into each stitch. The yarn should be placed on the needles in the same way as when knitting. Next, knit two stitches together, then pass the first stitch over the second. Repeat this process until there are no stitches left on the needles. To join two stitches, one needle can be used if you don't have three.
