Sewn Tubular Bind Off in the Round
The tubular bind off is my absolute favorite for 1/1 (knit/purl) ribbing. This sewn bind off is very similar to working a kitchener stitch, as though the knits were on one side and purls on the other. It creates a stretchy edge that looks like the ribbing has just flowed right over it. When working this bind off in the round, I do it a little bit differently than most tutorials I have seen. I find this way gives me a more seamless join at the end of the round.
