Thank you!
Another great tutorial.
Very nice that you always use those needles and the nice thick yellow yarn, so we can clearly see what you are doing.

Thank you! 🤗 I did this with fingering weight yarn to bind off the bottom edge of a camisole. It gave a neat and pretty edge. It did curl at first but laid flat once blocked. I am a tight knitter, though, and so the edge was firm and a bit too tight so I tinked it back (pretty easy if you tink with the wrong side facing and pick up the topmost purl bump before undoing each stitch, dropping the lower purl bump that you picked up from the back of the fabric as you go.)

I redid the same bind off but added a reverse yarn over just before picking up the purl bump from the back of the fabric. Then bound off this yarn over along with the stitch before. So a combination of this method plus Jeny’s surprisingly stretchy bind off. This added a lot more stretch into the edge and it also laid flat straight away, even before reblocking.

I’ll be using this whenever I want a clean and minimal hem. It has the added advantage that if you are playing yarn chicken, you can just keep going in stockinette until you have a yarn tail of about 4 or 5 times the circumference of your hem. That way, you can use almost every bit of yarn. Thank you very much for the inspiration 🎉

This is so incredibly useful! Wow. I will use it so much, since the edges usually 'change' the look I am going for in my knits. Ribbing drops the modernity down every time, in my opinion. One has to be super clever for that not to happen or resort or resign to the traditional elements. I want to use traditional look when I feel like it, not being forced to put something there to prevent curling edges. But curling edges can be kind of cool too. it just depends on the overall look. This will make my design and fabric look exactly I envision it. The sky can be the limit now. I am not a slave to my edges. 😁

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am knitting a stockinette jersey for my daughter and she does not like ribbing. I have been wondering how I could solve the curl problem - your bind off is the perfect solution for my jersey!

That tip saved my curling edge on a bulky yarn jumper, Thank you! If youre working with bulky yarn I see it works best if you knit the second to last row where you pull stiches up more loosely so it doesnt leave weird holes in the knit.
