Channel Island Bind Off

KnittingAngel

i was going threw a pattern when i came across this bind off. I never heard of it before so i did some research. i could only find one video on this. but a few tutorials. so i thought i would share.

this is  merged two different bind-offs; the Icelandic bind-off and a picot bind-off.





STEP 1 /
1a: The right hand needle has been inserted into the first stitch on the left hand needle as if to purl.



1b: While the right hand needle is through the first stitch, the second stitch will be pulled through the first stitch. The stitches have switch places on the needle.



STEP 2 / Knit this stitch as you normally would.



STEP 3a / Return the just knit stitch on your right hand needle back onto the left hand needle. knit this stitch again, creating the appearance of a chain.



STEP 3b / Once you have knit the first stitch a second time, leave it on your right hand needle. Then, knit the next two stitches on the left hand needle together. You have just decreased 3 stitches down to two.



STEP 4 / This step is worked in the exact same manner as a "typical" bind off.



STEP 5 / Return the stitch to the left hand needle. This step is critical: if the stitch is not returned, you will amass a large quantity of stitches that are still "live" on the right hand needle.
Repeat Steps 1-5 for the desired number of stitches, or until all your stitches have been bound off.

there is a cast on for this. and if i get time i will post it.


i hope you enjoyed this and found informative.

thank you
