22:00 Italian Tubular Bind Off in the Round
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.

Wow , noone taught this so simply. I have had tired of trying to this bind off. You are amazing. ❤
Yes! Best explanation ever! I am a very experienced knitter (almost 60 years!) but every tutorial I've ever encountered just refuses to stick in my brain - bless you - I think this one will stick! (If you haven't already - please include for in-the-round ... i.e. sock tops) ❤❤
I hope it sticks! I’ve always had trouble with this bind off, and making up this little four-step process is what worked for me. I hope it helps you too! And yes the video covers the bind off in the round at the 22:00 minute mark 😉
Omg, you are back - so happy to see you again!❤
Happy to be back 😊
So nice to see a new video!! I was literally just yesterday saying that you hadn't posted in a while. And is that a gorgeous diamond ring on your left hand?!? Woohoo! 🤩
It is! I got married in April so that’s why things have been a bit quiet around here!
Great video. Thank you for the tutorial. You always do an excellent job walking us through the steps. I’ve learned so much from your channel.
Aww thank you for your kind words!
Amazing tutorial. So easy to follow and understand. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much! This is the first break down of Italian bind off which I found easy to remember!
I’m so happy to hear that! It took me ages to finally get the hang of this bind off so I’m glad it’s easier for you 😄
I’m knitting yet another market bag by you. You are a marvelous teacher!
Thank you! I’m so glad you’ve gotten good use from the pattern!
How good to see a new video! Thank you fit this!
Thanks for watching! 😁
Thanks!
Thank you so much! You made my day 🤗
At the first couple of times the four steps seemed so confusing so I really appreciate that you did till the last stitch as it became clear after the third repeat how this sequence goes. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your videos always make even super complicated things so easy. I have a question though for the 2x2 ribbing in a round: the first set-up row is the rearranging the stitches like in the flat piece?
Hi! Yes for the 2x2 rib in the round the set-up is the same
Wow, this is a great video...I've been having difficulty with this bindoff and your video was very helpful....thank you!
I’m so glad to hear that!! This bind off is a true game changer ✨
Great, great! 🎉 Thank you!
You’re very welcome! ☺️
Yeah! Very clear and concise :) I had so much trouble trying to get the 4 step memorized. I appreciate the clear picture and yarn. I will be following this for my current sweater I'm working on.
Excellent! It’ll look fabulous on your sweater!
thank you so much for this vid!!!
Thank you for watching! 🤗
What is this yummy yarn you’re using?
This is actually mystery yarn I found in my stash. If I had to guess I’d say Debbie Bliss cashmerino Aran?! I’m terrible at cataloguing my stash 🙈
Unbelievable
Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial! Any advice for how to use this method with an extra knit stitch at the beginning/end? My cardigan pattern has an extra knit stitch before going into the 1x1 ribbing.
Hmm.. I’m not sure to be honest! If the edges of the rib will be picked up later by a buttonhole band for instance then I would just start the row with a purl stitch so that you still have a 1x1 rib. The edge stitches will end up being absorbed by the buttonband. However if the ribbing is just freestanding, I might try to to knit two stitches together at the beginning and end of the rib to get the 1x1 pattern. Please experiment on a swatch before trying this on your project though. These are just ideas off the top of my head!
This looks a lot like kitchener stitch just with one needle.
Question: why do you need the two rows of double stockinette? Why not just start sewing?
Yes! You’re right. It’s essentially kitchener stitch on a single needle. The two rows of double stockinette stitch give the bind off a bit more stability. It creates a little tube (hence why it’s called a “tubular” bind off). You can try the bind off without the double st st to see what you prefer!
You know I love your videos and patterns and I totally signed up. Do you ever recommend that knitters learn Continental Knitting to go faster?
I have a confession: I don’t know how to knit continental 🙈 I’ve heard it’s faster than English style but I just couldn’t get into it, so I’ve stuck with English. But definitely give it a try. Ergonomically it should be faster and more comfortable than English but knitting style is pretty individual so try it out and see if it works for you! 🤠
@@sheepandstitch I’m barely getting out of beginning intermediate-so I’ll cool my jets-it’s just my ADHD talking. hehe. I might try learning after I’ve done a few more patterns under my belt. It’s been a challenge finding a speed and form to hold things since I’m a tall guy with larger hands, so I’m a bit clunky until I get a groove. Thanks again for everything and resolving my pattern issue.
@@NitWok the great thing about knitting is that there’s always more to learn and master! Happy knitting!
Great video! What’s the pattern of that cardigan? 😍
It’s the champagne cardigan by petite knits!
