Tubular Sewn Bind Off in the Round (For 1X1 rib)

In this video, I demonstrate the tubular sewn bind off in the round. This technique is used to bind off your 1X1 (K1, P1) ribbing that is worked in the round (NOT flat).

A large tapestry needle is used, instead of a knitting needle.

This video shows you how to finish the bind off as well, so that the end of your work appears invisible. Many videos don't show how to do this part of the bind off.

This method can also be used for 2X2 rib, but the stitches must first be converted back to 1X1 rib.

I hope this video helps you!

I’m watching this on my iPhone.It’s hard to see what you’re doing . But, I like your voice, your avoidance of extraneous “chitchat” and your clear instructions.

Thank you so much for your video. I had never done a sewn bind off of any type and I found your tutorial super clear and simple. Now my hat has a beautiful bound off edge!!

Found your video just in time to finish my first sock done with the magic loop.  Your instructions are great and make it very easy to understand.  I am so glad you showed how to finish one needle and go to the second.  Thank you!

The last part, where you finish the circle, is too far away. You could have had the shot closer to the work throughout the video, and it would have been more helpful. Do you show the cast-on that matches this? Or tubular cast-on, to go with the bind-off for the other video with the cowl?

wonderful, so easy to follow, AND where did you get the amazing tape measure wrist band?

Hello, thank you so much for this video! It's much more understandable than many of the tubular BOs I've seen. A question, though--I noticed that many tubular BOs have you do a couple of set-up rows of double knitting. Is there any reason that isn't necessary here?

[anitagarcia]

im trying to do the set up but mine starts with a purl st. What im hearing is that i purl that first stitch ( cause its a purl) then cut my yarn and begin the bind off? is the correct?

I appreciate your effort but this is just a sewn bind off. A tubular bind off has tubes which are created with set up rows that encase the sewn stitches. This gives the edge some structure and prevents flaring out after wearing etc.
