Italian/Tubular Bind-Off

The Italian /Tubular Bind-Off is a bind-off that allows you to graft your stitches together without separating them onto two needles. It is quite neat and stretchy, and results in a very clean, rounded edge. 

The video below demonstrates how to use an Italian bind-off on 1×1 ribbing. 

Note:

Make the tail you cut to cast-off 3-4 times the length of the edge you’re stitching to ensure you have enough yarn.
