In this video I''ll show you how to knit the Italian tubular bind off for 1x1 rib, 2x2 rib and in the round.

The Italian tubular bind off creates an invisible edge where one side of the knitting merges seamlessly into the other side. This bind off is not knitted on two knitting needles. Instead the stitches are sewn together with a tapestry needle.

The Italian tubular bind off begins with two rows of double stockinette stitch. This gives the bind off more stability. It also creates a small “tube” which is why the bind-off is called a “tubular” bind off.

Then the bind off is sewn using a four-step technique that’s repeated until all the stitches have been bound off. This four-step technique is used whether you’re binding off 1x1 rib, 2x2 rib or rib in the round. It’s incredibly versatile!

Start by working two rows (or rounds) of double stockinette stitch. For 2x2 rib, the stitches will first need to be reconfigured into a 1x1 formation (see the video above at this timestamp: 15:58)

Then work the two set-up stitches:

1. Insert the tapestry needle into the first stitch (a knit stitch) as if to purl. Pull the yarn through
2. Insert the tapestry needle into the second stitch (a purl stitch) from the back of the knitting as if to knit. Pull the yarn through.

Now work the four-step sewing technique until all the stitches have been worked:

1. Knit Off (knit stitch)
Insert the tapestry needle into the first stitch (a knit stitch) as if to knit. Then pull the whole stitch off the knitting needle. Pull the yarn through and ensure it’s snug but not tight.

2. Purl On (knit stitch)
Skipping the first purl stitch, insert the tapestry needle into the next knit stitch as if to purl. Pull the yarn through.

3. Purl Off (purl stitch)
Insert the tapestry needle into the first stitch (a purl stitch) as if to purl. Then pull the whole stitch off the knitting needle. Pull the yarn through and ensure it’s snug but not tight.

4. Knit On (purl stitch)
Skipping the first knit stitch, insert the tapestry needle into the next purl stitch from the back of the knitting as if to knit. Pull the yarn through.
