Tubular Bind Off Step by Step Tutorial

Tubular Bind off for 1x1 Rib (K1P1 Rib) is my all time favourite since I started knitting. The first time I saw this bind off was when my mother in law did a finishing for  polo neck sweater, I was so intrigued by the finished, I requested her to teach me. I am thankful to her till date for showing me this awesome bind off

Today, I would like to share it with my friends so that you can also enjoy the amazing finish as much as I do

Ankle length Toe Up socks

Free Pattern - Sock Knitting - Ankle length Toe-up Sock

I wanted a easy knit and also try knitting 2 socks at the time. So, I set out the journey with this beautiful pair of socks. And hurrah! I made and love the soft feeling

Initially I was worried as this is the first time I use 3ply wool for socks and on top of that I use a larger needle. Surprisingly the final product is just too good. Looks awesome even without blocking

I started with 3.5mm needle and for the cuffs, I used 3mm needle

This is for intermidiate level knitting

1. - Using provisional cast on. Cast on 26 stitches
2. - Purl all
3. - Knit all till the last stitch, wrap the last stitch and turn (feel free to watch a youtube video to see how the wrap is done as it is difficult to explain by writing)
4. - Purl all till the last stitch, wrap the last stitch and turn
5. - Slip the first stitch, and knit all the stitches till the 2nd stitch from the end, wrap that 2nd stitch and turn
6. - Slip the first stitch, and purl all the stitches till the 2nd stitch from the end, wrap that 2nd stitch and turn
7. - Slip the first 2 stitches, and knit all the stitches till the 3rd stitch from the end, wrap that 3rd stitch and turn
8. - Slip the first 2 stitches, and purl all the stitches till the 3rd stitch from the end, wrap that 3rd stitch and turn

10. - Slip the first 3 stitches, and purl all the stitches till the 4th stitch from the end, wrap that 4th stitch and turn
11. - Slip the first 4 stitches, and knit all the stitches till the 5th stitch from the end, wrap that 5th stitch and turn
12. - Slip the first 4 stitches, and purl all the stitches till the 5th stitch from the end, wrap that 5th stitch and turn
13. - Slip the first 5 stitches, and knit all the stitches till the 6th stitch from the end, wrap that 6th stitch and turn
14. - Slip the first 5 stitches, and purl all the stitches till the 6th stitch from the end, wrap that 6th stitch and turn

16. - Slip the first 6 stitches, and purl all the stitches till the 7th stitch from the end, wrap that 7th stitch and turn
17. - Slip the first 7 stitches, and knit all the stitches till the 8th stitch from the end, wrap that 8th stitch and turn
18. - Slip the first 7 stitches, and Purl all the stitches till the 8th stitch from the end, wrap that 8th stitch and turn

Free Pattern Garter Stitch Baby Booties

A simple easy to knit Garter stitch Booties.
Depending on the size of needle, using the same yarn, I knitted 2 booties of different size

3. - Knit all stitch (when you reach the YO stitch, knit from back loop as we do not want to create a hole at this place, rather wants to increase 1 stitch. If you are not familiar of increasing the stitch this way, use M1 instead of YO in Row 2 above. However my pattern will give you a more beautiful garter stitch)

4. - K1, YO, K17, YO, K3, YO, K17, YO, K1 -----------(43)

Split-toe Socks

I thought I will never learn to do a split-toe socks but I managed to made the first pair and wrote the pattern simultaneously

He is the finish product

Pattern :

For the Cuff :

- Cast on 40 stitch on a circular needle

- long tail cast on

- pull out one side 

- divide the stitch into 2 equally

- bring it forward to knit

- pull the side with the working yarn

- 2 rounds of black yarn (K2P2 rib)

- K2(white yarn), P2(black yarn)

- 2 rounds of black yarn(K2P2 rib)

- K2(white yarn), P2(black yarn)

- 2 rounds of black yarn(K2P2 rib)

- 2 rounds of white yarn(K2P2 rib)

- K2(white yarn), P2(black yarn)

- 2 rounds of black yarn(K2P2 rib)

- K2(white yarn), P2(black yarn)

- 4 rounds of black yarn(K2P2 rib)

- Knit all (white yarn)

For the Heal Flap:

We have to knit on the 20 stitches (on one side )

<!--[if !supportLists]

-          - 1. Slip 1, Knit 1

-         -  2. Purl 

      - Repeat step 1 and 2, 11 times

-     - Slip 1, Knit 1

    For the Heal turning:

    - we continue working on the same piece (heal flap)

    - Step 1. - Purl 12, P2tog, P1, turn

    - Step 2. - Slip 1, K5, SSK, K1, turn

    - Repeat step 1 and 2 till only 12 stitch are left ( remember we reduce te stitches to 12 from 20 at this point)

    For the Gusset:
   - With the same needle where we have the 12 stitches, we pick up 13 stitches on the side as in the image below - Now we will have 25 stitch on this needle (12+13 =25)

     Now we have to knit the side which we left (the other side) when we started the heal flap
             - Knit 20 and then pick up 13 stitches. So, on the other side we have 33 stitches

    * But now to have to divide the stitches equally on both side and place marker at the area where we have to do the decreasing (refer the image below)
           * Now you should have 29 stitches on each side

  Step 1.  - K16, K2tog, K, Marker, K10, Marker, SSK, K17
               - Knit All

  Step 2.  - K15, K2tog, K, Marker, K10, Marker, SSK, K16
               - Knit All

SStep 3.  - K14, K2tog, K, Marker, K10, Marker, SSK, K15
               - Knit All
 
SStep 4.  - K13, K2tog, K, Marker, K10, Marker, SSK, K14
               - Knit All

SStep 5.  - K12, K2tog, K, Marker, K10, Marker, SSK, K13
               - Knit All

  Change to black color yarn

SStep 6.  - K11, K2tog, K, Marker, K10, Marker, SSK, K12
               - Knit All

SStep 7.  - K10, K2tog, K, Marker, K10, Marker, SSK, K11
               - Knit All

   Change to White and start knitting for the foot (Here keep knitting the round till you get your desired length)

     For my  socks, I did the following round
     - 1 round of white, all knit
     - 4 rounds of light blue, all knit
     - 5 rounds of white, all knit
     - 3 rounds of yellow, all knit
     - 1 round of mix (1 yellow, 1 dark green)
-    - 3 rounds of yellow, all knit
     - 1 round of mix (1 yellow, 1 dark green)
-    - 3 rounds of yellow, all knit
     - 1 round of mix (1 yellow, 1 dark green)
-    - 3 rounds of yellow, all knit 
    - 5 rounds of white, all knit
    - 6 rounds of pink, all knit
     - 4 rounds of white, all knit

 
   At this stage we will have 44 stitch on our needle

   For the left Toe :

    - To make it clear for my viewer, I have shot the below image of the sock from the top as if to wear (this view help us understand where we want to have the big toe for left or for right)

   We will start knitting where we have our marker now in the circle area in the above image for the big toe
     - Step 1 : - Knit 8, cast on 4 by using back loop method, K8 - We will have 20 stitches now for the big toe. Here I am using DPN instead of circular needle (the remaining stitches, held in a wasted yarn)

     - Continue knitting till the length is a little shorter than your toe. In my case I did 14 rounds of Step 1
   Then we will have start decreasing to close the toe
     - K3, K2tog all round
     - K2, K2tog all round
     - K, K2tog all round
     - K2tog all round and finish with needle

   For the left remaining toes : 
    We have to now work on the stitch which was held in the wasted yarn while we were doing the big toe
     - Knit 28 stitches and then pick up 4 next to the big toe to close the gap = 32 stitches
     - Knit 3 rounds - all knit

    We will have decreasing at the place where we have this 2nd marker which is circle in green in the above image
    - from the first marker, we will count
     - K13, K2tog, K, Marker, K, SSK, K13
     - Knit all
     - K12, K2tog, K, Marker, K, SSK, K12
     - Knit all
     - K11, K2tog, K, Marker, K, SSK, K11
     - Knit all
     - K10, K2tog, K, Marker, K, SSK, K10
     - Knit all
      - K9, K2tog, K, Marker, K, SSK, K9

    Close it with Kitchener stitch :)
 
Refer the image above for the right toe and follow the pattern similarly as of Left Toe

Yarn : 4 ply, 100 % acrylic

Cast on 44 -I usually cast on 40 but for the pattern, I had to increase 4 but looks ok so far

- K2P2 rib for 10 rounds in pink and then I made the pattern below for this sock

- then I knit according to the pattern above

- I am not a pro at using multiple colors and doing this pattern in the circular needle was driving me crazy. So, I switch the stitches in 4 needles

- its totally worth it so far

- I am loving it, I will post images as I go through
