Today's post is about a lesser-known stretchy bind off. It's a variation on Elizabeth Zimmerman's sewn bind-off, but stretchier. This bind-off is great for toe-up socks, neckbands, and anywhere you'd like a nice, stretchy edge. It's also a near perfect match for the backwards loop cast on, so if that's your favorite cast-on, and you like your CO and BO edges to match, this one is for you! The super stretchy bind-off is faster and easier than some of the knit alternatives; we'd recommend trying it on smaller projects that have a moderate number of stitches that need to be bound off. Since you need three times the length of yarn as the finished edge you're binding off, you'd be pulling LOTS of yarn through each stitch on a large project like a shawl.
