Icelandic Bind-Off (Норвежский способ закрытия петель)
Let’s face it — on garter stitch, a regular bind-off never seems to cut it.
The fabric spreads out more than Stockinette stitch, but doesn’t bounce back in like ribbing, plus you’ve got those horizontal bumps to try to match.
A regular bind-off just makes a pulled-in, inflexible edge. Ick!
Now, with more than 40 perfect bind-offs at my disposal, I set out to find THE bind-off that I would use on every Garter-stitch project from now on.
I decided the ideal bind-off would be:
-- stretchy but not too stretchy
-- a good match to the horizontal bumps
-- fast and easy
I picked the three bind-offs out of my upcoming ebook that I thought would work the best. They are shown in this blog post:
All three turned out to be great choices!
