Sometimes it seems like, no matter how loosely you bind off, you'll still end up with an unbearably stiff edging to your knitting. That's what the tubular bind off method is for. This elastic bind off method uses a tapestry needle and stitch rearranging to create an exceptionally stretchy finish to anything you work up. Especially helpful for top-down sweaters and hats, this bind off method will help you to produce a garment that's easier to slip on and off. While the instructions seem involved, once the set-up rows are complete, the remaining instructions are the same for the kitchener stitch, so those familiar with this seaming method should understand easily.
