Ruke Bind Off Tutorial | Easy Stretchy Sewn Bind Off for Sweaters & Socks

If you’re looking for a stretchy bind off for sweater hems, collars, socks or ribbing, the Ruke Bind Off is a beautiful option to add to your knitting toolkit.

This sewn bind off is worked with a tapestry needle rather than knitting the stitches off your needle, creating a neat, flexible edge with plenty of stretch. It takes a little more time than a standard bind off, but the finished result is well worth it—especially for projects where you don’t want the edge to feel tight or restrictive.

In this video tutorial, I’ll show you how to work the Ruke Bind Off in the round, including the setup, repeating sequence, how to finish the final stitches, and how much yarn to leave before you begin.

Happy knitting!
