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

Learn how to work the Ruke Bind Off, an easy stretchy sewn bind off that creates a beautiful finished edge on your knitting. The Ruke Bind Off is one of my favourite ways to finish sweater hems, collars, necklines, cuffs, socks and other knitted edges that need a little extra stretch. It uses a tapestry needle rather than a traditional knitted bind off and creates a clean, flexible finish. In this step-by-step knitting 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 to weave in your yarn tail. I also share how I calculate the length of yarn needed before beginning the sewn bind off. If you’ve been looking for a stretchy bind off for ribbing, sweater hems or socks, give the Ruke Bind Off a try. It takes a little longer than a standard bind off, but the finished edge is beautiful and wonderfully stretchy. 🧶 In this tutorial you’ll learn: • How to do the Ruke Bind Off • How to work a sewn bind off • How much yarn to leave for your bind off • How to create a stretchy knitted edge • How to bind off in the round • How to finish the last stitches neatly Subscribe to M1R KNIT for clear knitting tutorials, techniques, beginner knitting lessons and modern knitting projects. ______________________________ Welcome!
