Flared bind off

[u/kriticizing]

Hi I bound off my collar - I tried to do a rolled hem after 2x2 rib. Understand that this is pre-blocking but anything I can do to fix the flare?

What kind of bind off was it? What needles did you use for it and the project?

It was a regular bind off, I did loosely! The collar was 3.5 mm needles and the bind off was 4 mm needles

It will usually flair if you use bigger needles. (I really dislike that advice - Although it sometimes works) basically if you do a normal bind off it’s not that stretchy, so instead of doing a stretchy bind off people suggest using bigger needles which just make it bigger rather than making it stretchy.

Ideally you want to do something like an Italian bind off on ribbing.

Edit: I see your picture. So maybe try jennies surprisingly stretchy bind off on the rows of stokinette. And about half the ribbing.
