Video: Sloped Bind-Off







This bind-off has its own section because it’s the only one of its kind.

As the name suggests, this bind-off makes a sloped edge, which you would usually on the shoulder of a sweater.

More Information

The normal way that a pattern has you bind off a slanted edge leaves a stair-step look.

The Sloped Bind-Off smooths out that edge and eliminates the stair-step effect. You would use this bind-off if you are planning on seaming up the shoulder seams later, using Mattress stitch or another finishing technique.

Note: Don't use this bind-off if your pattern requires you to use a seaming bind-off to bind-off the shoulder stitches later, because you need live stitches on the needles for that.
