Hmm, I’ve never gotten much involved with picot anything, but for whatever reason I didn’t know there was a bind-off option, only a fold-over edging option. Thank you for enlightening me!

Oooo That’s neat! Once I get the hang of Toe Up socks I’ll have to give that a try. :D

Dang! That’s a great idea. I’m all for the lazy way to do things. It looks great!

I’m also a big fan of both the picot bind-off and picot cast-on (same priciple–cast-on 5, bindo off 2, cast-on 5….). I’ve never done the fold down bind off picot either. I just looks like too much trouble especially for a sock.

I, of course, asked in the last post, since my fold-over-bind-off picots were way too tight. I’ll for sure be trying yours the next time. I did go through Lolly’s tutorial, and it seemed like many of them would be fine on a cuff-down sock, but when doing toe-up (my preferred method) that stretchy bind off is a must. I stuck with my tried-and-true EZ sewn bind off for the last pair.
