I am a brand new knitter and I want you to know that this video has absolutely saved me. Thank you!

Thank you for the tutorial. Best loose bind off ever. Most of them are still very tight, similar to the regular bind off. I just finished doing your bind off with a horizontal scarf with about 250 stitches. After I was done, the bottom perfectly matched the loose bind off. This is my go to from now one. Thank you again!

I'm still learning to knit, your videos are so easy to follow I have learned so much from them, thank you.

Thank you!! This helped me bind off a huge blanket project I've been working on for a few years :)

Thanks for sharing that. I’ve never seen that method before. I’m glad that I know it now.

What a simple solution. I'm going to use this on a cowl neck sweater today (my first sweater!) where the directions say to bind off loosely. Thank you.

[PatrickSharp]

Thank you for the clear and easy instruction!

[nathaliedriscart]

Genius ... this is extremely useful, thank you very much for showing us, I think I will never use the regular again

[JessikaAnneR]

Great tutorial, thank you. Very clear, great explanation and easy to follow visually. I've been knitting for more than 30 years and didn't know this method! My only request might be a slightly shorter video or putting the loose bind off method first so viewers don't have to go halfway through to find what brought us here. :)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this bind off method! I will definitely be using the suspended bind off more than the “normal” bind off.

[dulcemorais]
