How to knit a stretchy bind off

Many shawl patterns benefit from a really stretchy bind off. It allows the edge of your shawl to expand right out when it’s blocking so you can show off your beautiful knitting properly.


You can use this bind off for toe up socks and neckbands for children’s sweaters too.
