Cool Technique: Eyelet I-Cord Bind Off

May 15, by Sarah White. 3 Comments

eyelet icord bind offThere’s no end to the way that knitters can get stitches on and off the needles, and it’s a lot of fun to play with different cast ons and bind offs to see how they change the look of a garment or project.

I recently saw a video at New Stitch a Day all about the eyelet I-cord bind off, which is an attached I-cord bind off with a row of eyelets underneath that’s made at the same time as the bind off.

For a regular I-cord bind off you usually cast on several stitches before you start the bind off, then work the last of those stitches together with the first from your work, usually with a slip, slip, knit. In this technique, developed by the Sexy Knitter (aka Sarah Wilson), you do a knit 2 together instead, which makes a hole where the little gap is between the stitches you cast on and the old stitches.

This is a really cute look that I’m imagining at the bottom of a knit skirt, but I’m sure it could be used in all sorts of ways.

Have you tried a new-to-you cast on or bind off recently? I’d love to hear about it.
