A bind-off, sometimes also cast-off, is an essential knitting technique that secures the stitches of the last row and keeps your knitting from unraveling. In this video, I will show you the basic bind-off method and a couple of tips and tricks for a neater last stitch or a stretchier edge.
On top of that, I will show you all together 10 alternative ways to finish your knitting. I start with a couple of stretchy bind-offs and then it's all about beautiful techniques that are either invisible or very ornamental. In the last part of this video, I talk about a couple of more uncommon bind-offs that bring something new to the table.

Most important, you have to know that there is not only one way to bind-off knitting and I hope this video will show you all the options you have. Depending on your preferences and your project, you get to pick the one you like most. And I guess that's what you have to consider most when you ask about how to bind off when knitting - there's not one technique that covers it all! So, I hope you enjoy this video!

I always want you to know that the needle size and the tension you use to bind off knitting is an equally as important factors and something you can use to determine the stretchiness (and neatness) of the edge.
