Knitting Help - Sloped Bind Off
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 07. 2024
- This bind-off is an easy alternative to the "stair-steppy" bind-off many patterns call for when knitting a shaped edge (like when shaping armholes, sleeves, or necklines.) The edge this bind-off leaves makes seaming and picking up stitches easier.
Instructions for working this technique:
Please follow your pattern for the exact bind-off numbers for the shaping you’re knitting.
Left-Leaning Slope
BO the number of stitches specified in your pattern, then work across the rest of the row in pattern. Turn work, and work in pattern to last stitch. Slip last stitch without working it, turn work. Slip first two stitches, and BO the first stitch over the second (this counts as your first BO stitch, follow your pattern for the number to BO).
Right-Leaning Slope
BO the number of stitches specified in your pattern (most likely on the wrong-side of the work, possibly purl-wise), then work across the rest of the row in pattern. Turn work, and work a right-side row to the last stitch, slip that stitch without working it. Turn work. Slip first two stitches, and BO the first stitch over the second (this counts as your first BO stitch, follow your pattern for the number to BO).
Information on things you'll see in this video:
The needles I'm using are by Clover, and the yarn is - I'm not sure what the yarn is! It's a worsted wool.
The nail polish I'm wearing is by Julep, color "Amanda".

My goodness, this was exactly what I needed for my new design. Thank you!!!
Wow!!! You have just changed my life!! I usually knit shawls--but there's now a sweater in my future. Thanks so much!!
Perfect timing! I just did the bind off for the neck of my sweater and am starting the slope. Now I know exactly how to do it!
Thanks so much Staci. I've left a sweater sitting for years because of that stair steppy thingmee. This sloped bind off is so simple and clear. Thank you muchly.
Love, love, love this. I am knitting sleeves right now and am excited to use this technique! Thank you!
This is literally the video I needed. I am going to try to knit a kitty sweater for this little almost bald cat that my friend has. I think this will be PERFECT for that project. Such good timing. Thanks Staci!
Great video! I love how you break everything down, step by step. TY.
THANK YOU!! I have been avoiding patterns with the stair step bind off because it kicks my ass every time! I will take on a pattern now and use this method instead. Fantastic!
Great help. Your videos are always beautifully produced with just enough detail. Thank you!
Staci, thank you for this! I am just finishing some sleeves (cuff up...) and this choppy finish is one of my OCD pet-peeves! So timely!!!! Thank you again for all you do to make sure I am doing it right!!!!
Thank you for this clear & easy to understand sloped bind off. Love it!
This tutorial is what I have been looking for a very very long time. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TEACHING 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I wish I would have known this a couple months ago when I was working on a seamed sweater. Such a great technique!
You are so helpful and good at explaining what each technique does and why it is helpful.
You always release videos of techniques i always wondered about! Thank you for this tip, it's really awesome!
Wow! This is just what I needed for shaping arm holes on my vest. Thank you.
THANK YOU very much for the beautiful bind off especially for shoulders!!!! It's a lovely technique LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!! XX
Excellent videos for a returner to knitting! Thank you from London, UK
STUNNING as always. Thank you so much. always love your videos.
Wonderful, thank you. Wish I had learnt this years ago, but better late than never! Thanks again.
Love this technique. I just finished a sweater and while seaming sure wish I had this sloped seam instead of the stair step I had done. Will definitely use on my next sweater
Thank you!!! For this great video. I never liked my shaping of the armholes and necklines. I can't wait to use this technique.
This is amazing! I am now going to undo two shoulder seams that I stitched last week, unpick the stepped decrease and do this.
This is so cool and so much easier than either the German or the Japanese short row!!! Thanks :)
I love your techniques, they're soooo helpful! Thank you so much ♡
As always, another great and practical technique.
I would always do short rows to make a nice slope, but this is soooo much easier!!! Thanks for sharing this tip!
Thanks for another great video. I haven't had to use it as yet, but what a nice, easy way to deal with shaping. I'll be sure to refer back to it when the time should come.
Awesome! I love learning new things from you.
Thank you, made the baby sweater 100% better!
Terrific technique, makes such a difference. Thank you!
Thanks for this great tip! I just finishing binding off a sweater sleeve...now I'm going to undo the last few rows and try this instead.
So simple and simply explained - thank you!
Thank you so much! I was making a horrible mess with an armhole for a tank top. It just looked terrible until I tried this method!
This was wonderful. Great to know for the next sweater I am going to knit. Many thanks.
Thank you from Malmö Sweden 🇸🇪
Wonderful! Thank you so much for this great technique.
Fantastic. So pretty! Your knitting style is so nice. Thanks so much
wow thank you so much for this lovely technique .
I will definitely use it for sleeves and neck... thanks for the trick... always useful :)
Great video, thanks.!! I was going to use it for my shoulder shaping, but instead i practiced it, and used short rows instead because I had already completed the back and one side of the front of my sweater, but I will definitely use it next time, it just looks even neater than a short row, I guess because it doesn't have the wraps to pick on the finishing round.
This is SO helpful ! You are simply awesome ! - i'm glad i'm a subscriber!
Trop forte! Pour des finitions impeccables! Thanks so much!
Oh wow! Thanks for showing this. I can't believe I didn't think of this myself. Now I feel sheepish. ;-)
Thank you! Beautiful and so much better to sew together
Thanks a lot! Now I can finish my sweater 😊 Only one question, where can I find the video for the left side? Have a nice day!
Brilliant, thank you!
Genius, thank you!
This was a game changer. I always hated the stair steps. Thank you.
So helpful! Thank you.
Excellent way to work it...thank you 🤗
This looks lovely. I guess you could also just work to the last stitch and turn without working it. Thanks!
wow..those nails, but always the instruction is incredible. thank you
Out of Holland; thank you só much! 🌷
Great tutorial!
thanks for sharing. I'll use this.
Amazing thank you so much very neat Bo
Thank you very much.
Very nice,thank you!
Staci I ALWAYS know you'll have the answers! This is such a no-brainer. WHY do patterns do those awful stair-steppy shoulders when this is an option?
Thankyou so much!!!
Wow thank you!
I’ve sloped off to bed sarks, all I need now is for the birds to stop chirping so I can pass out. Sweet dreams don’t stay up too late 😤😤😤
Oh I really wish I'd know this 2 weeks ago when I was binding off the shoulders on a jumper I'm making. I am not prepared to rip back enough rows to do this with it now though.
You're excellent
Thanks this help.
Thank you, again, for your expert instruction!
Very simple😊
Hi, thank you so much for this brilliant tip. its so much neater.. i am just battling to keep my slip stict as neat and tensioned like yours. how do i do this? i have gone back and finished the previous cast off very tightly, but it als doesnt seem to help. By the way, your stepped cast off is also a pretty amazingly tidy finish. mine lso has lopy steps. thank you for sharing
God bless you
Hi, can just say a huge thank you to you, as I have followed you for a long time and gave me the confidence to be able to knit. I totally understand this and am able to do this, however I’m finding that my cast off loops are not even on armholes and neck edge. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong. Please help.
I will frog back my shoulder seams and redo with a slope - much neater and easier to seam.
Woah, Staci, SO TIMELY and what a great result! I am not sure but I think I might have recently asked you for something like this because I was facing the dreaded stair step bind off based on my pattern. I am literally AT the row I would be starting my armhole bind-offs on my sweater back, so yay for this. One very quick question: is there any advantage to starting the slip of the last stitch in the row just before the start of the armhole bindoffs, to somehow smooth the first bound off stitch upon turning the work? Thrilled for your video on this super technique!
Love your videos! Just saw in your notes you called out the color of your nail polish. Last week, while watching your video, I was wondering about what nail polish you had used :) I'll have to go back and see if that video had notes with it. Thanks so much!
+Just Dolls - thank you! Yes, I've been listing out my nail polish color for a while now, only because I was answering multiple comments and emails about it. I get it - I'm the same way! If I like a color, I'll stop a gal on the street to ask her what it is! :)
Love this tutorial, but is there a way to do this sloped bind off in combination with the technique to make both armhole heights be the same level?
very good mam
Is it possible to work both the left leaning and right leaning slope bind off at the same time . Kinda like bonding off in the middle of your work but with this slope technique
Thank you for this. My left leaning loops are fine. But my right leaning loops are not--they look stretched. How can I correct this?
Could you make a video on how to seam on a slope? Or could you tell me what it is called? The mattress stitch did not work. I am knitting some footed baby pants done in stocking stitch and the legs on the inside seam are slanted. Thank you for any help.
That slipped stitch left me with a loose stitch so when I sewed the seams together I had a hole on both sides 😩
Really nice work! And how do you determine the angle? Say I need a particular length of slope at a particular angle. How do I calculate how many stiches I need to bind off when?
Neat!!
I did this technique, but when I slip the last stitch it messed up tension and I have very loose stitches when I pass over the first one. All my other stitches are the same except the slipped one.
A great technique!! Though I don't usually get stairs in decreases, but a huge jogged stitch where the stair should be :( But it's just as ungainly, and this is surely going to help with that, too? I hope so, and will try it next time ;)
Ah, I tried this but unfortunately it did not help with the huge jogged stitches... :( Don't know what would! (I do pull the yearn as tight as I can, but to no avail.)
תודה על הטכניקה המדהימה והפשוטה!!!! בדיוק בזמן הנכון!!!! יש לך סרטונים יפים וברורים. תודה! תודה! תודה!
סליחה, לא יודעת לכתוב באנגלית :(
Thank you for this great tut! Will definitely use this technique from now on. Also one quick question, I like the blocking pad that you have there, I've been looking for one that has lines just like yours, can you tell me what is it and where I can get it? Do you have this in your shop? Thank you.
I don't have a shop, and unfortunately, blocking boards like mine are no longer available. Blocking mats, with a grid, are a good alternative.
Do you work the pattern while you bind-off or do you just knit regular stockinette stitches while doing the bind-off?
Is that suitable for only 1 stitch blind off?
How do you work in the hole that results under the slipped stitch when you are seaming?
+Dianne Shaw - there isn't really much of a gap there, but you can always seam by inserting the tapestry needle so that it splits the V of the stitches, essentially closing any gaps between the Vs.
Hi Staci, Just to be sure I'm understanding you: I'm knitting a baby sweater and, to shape the arm holes, I bind off 2 at the begging of a row. That slipped stitch counts as my first bind off, and I bind one more off normally? Thanks! I'll send a photo when it's done :)
+In Tune Knitter - Yes, I think you have that right.
👍👍👍💓
I need to bind off 1 st every 2nd row for V-neck. Did one side k2tog and it slant to the right. Dont know how to create a nice left slant to match the right side.
The v neck pattern I'm working on has a skpo for the left lean. Slip first stitch, knit second and pass the first stitch over the second as if binding off and that will decrease by 1 stitch. Hope that helps.
@@ClairPearl does it create same pattern as the right leaning side? like crocheting the base row of chains?
It should create a neat left lean to match the right lean. It has on the pattern I'm just knitting. I can't help with the crocheting comparison, I only knit because I have trouble seeing crochet. I tried to learn but couldn't see where to put the hook in.
plz make video of baby sweater with pattern
Does this work for garter stitch as well?
Yes, it will work regardless of the stitch pattern in the fabric below.
Thank you so much life saver x
