We've all bound off in rib stitch only to find that the edge is not nearly as stretchy as the ribbing itself. The Ribbed Sewn Bind Off (aka the Italian Bind Off) is a great way to finish off a 1x1 rib while maintaining its elasticity. For this technique you'll thread the bind-off tail onto a tapestry needle and pass it through the remaining live stitches in four easy-to-remember, repeating steps. The result is super tidy and so nice and stretchy, you'll want to finish off all your ribbed socks, necklines, and top-down sleeves with a Ribbed Sewn Bind Off!
