This can be accomplished in two steps by doing the following:

How to bind off ribbing in the round. Sewn bind off in the round. Thread yarn onto tapestry needle. When you are done knitting in the round, you must bind off your project (also called casting off).

This is an excellent video from the sweater collective for the following steps:. Set your work down, leaving the knitting needle in the last stitch. Insert the tapestry needle knitwise into the first stitch and draw it through and slip it off.

Cut a tail at least three times the length of the bind off edge. Bind off on circular needles, step 11: The tubular bind off is a sewn bind off which creates an invisible edge on 1×1 ribbing that perfectly matches the tubular cast on.

With very sharp scissors, clip the working yarn about eight or ten. Thread the tail on a tapestry needle. It creates a very flexible edge that looks like your stitches are uninterrupted as they.

So, insert your left needle into them one more time. The sewn bind off is my favorite bind off for collars, the tops of socks or fingerless mitts, or anything that needs a bit of extra stretch without losing. Finally, draw the needle through the second stitch on the knitting needle knitwise from the back side.

Cut yarn, leaving 3x the width of the sts to be bound off, + 6 in. Purl another stitch and p2tog the two stitches (so repeat steps 3+4). Give the yarn a little tug and stretch out the work so it lays flat.
