This video demonstrates a variation of the standard chain bind off that prevents the knitter from binding off too tightly, resulting in a bind off with some stretch.

Support me by buying me a coffee on Ko-fi! ko-fi.com/roxannerichardson

Three types of sewn bind offs that can stretch as much as the fabric
The Sewn Bind Off: youtu.be/H91T1xY0fwU
The Half-Hitch Bind Off (aka Outline Stitch Bind Off) youtu.be/FvNao1Asuvc
Grafted Bind off (for k1p1 ribbing) youtu.be/TAgy5huTlQw
Grafted BO in the round youtu.be/rMRwAc4JGrs

Needles used in video demonstration: various bamboo dpns
Yarn used in video demonstration: Brown Sheep Company Nature Spun worsted weight wool.
