Archive of Thread: Super stretchy bind off for socks Back

2 years ago
Working on socks lately,  plein fot,  toe-up, industrial ribb cuff, after some trial and error i found my go-to bind off method for stretchy socks.

(Working on standard gauge machine) I knit the last row with loosest tention,  then i transfer the ribber stitches to the main bed, 2 stitches on 1 empty needle,  then take the work off the machine with a 2 mm needle, 
Bind off with a 3.5 mm needle,  that gives me a loose bindoff, fast,  even and efficient. If i need extra stretch i use jennys surprisingly stretchy bind off.  
Maybe someone wants to try?
