In this video we look at the 1x1 ribbed sewn bind off, which can be used to create a stretchy edge that gives the appearance of stitches that wrap around the finished bind off edge. You will need to leave a tail of working yarn at least 4 times the length of the stitches to be bound off in this method.

All numbered stitches refer to the order of stitches currently on the lefthand needle.

Setup Steps:
1. Enter the 1st stitch on your needle as if to purl, leaving the stitch on the needle.
2. From the back of the fabric, push the tapestry needle through to the front of the fabric in between stitches 1 & 2.
3. Push your tapestry needle through the center of stitch 2 from front to back.

Steps to Repeat:
1. Enter stitch 1 as if to knit, and remove this stitch from the lefthand needle.
2. Enter stitch 2 purlwise, and leave this stich on the needle.
3. From the back of the fabric, push the tapestry needle through to the front of the fabric in between stitches 1 & 2.
4. Enter stitch 1 as if to purl, and remove this stitch from the lefthand needle.
5. Push your tapestry needle through stitch 2 from the front of the fabric to the back.

When only 2 stitches remain and you can no longer repeat the 5 steps, remove stitch 1 knitwise, then remove stitch 2 purlwise. Weave in the end.
