The Icelandic bind-off, good for Garter stitch. The Icelandic bind-off is faster because it is done "on the needles" as opposed to sewn with a tapestry needle. It matches the fabric almost perfectly, and is strong, stretchy, and sturdy — just what the doctor ordered. Tip: You can use the Icelandic Bind-off on any fabric, not just Garter stitch. Try it on Stockinette -- it will make a pretty little rolled edge.

Even though the i-cord bind off looks quite fancy, it is not hard to do. In fact, this shows two ways to make this bind off, one easier than the other.
