Nålbinding Stitches by Neulakintaat

Oslo Stitch

I consider this the foundational stitch.

Mammen Stitch

Mammen is like Oslo+ and turns out a bit thicker and tighter. Good choice for when you need something warm or that will take rough wear.

Another version (because starts are always the hardest part)

York Stitch

Pros: Easy enough, quick, stretchy in both dimensions.

Cons: twist, holey.

Probably best with a smaller nal, depending on yarn size, and tightened to the needle. Good for projects that need some stretch to them.

This is how I make the York Stitch in Nalbinding / Needle-binding. It is a very loose stitch, so I’m demonstrating it with super thick wool. Later in the video, I’ll switch to a thinner yarn and show you how to needle-tension.
