In-Pattern Bind-Off for 1×1 Rib

This is a fast, easy bind-off that is minimally stretchy when used on ribbing.
It’s the same thing as the Standard Bind-Off “top” variation, done by alternating knit and purl stitches to make an edge that faces up.
I would consider it “required reading” for beginning knitters.

This 2×2 bind-off is very stretchy, with moderate-to-high bounce back, which means it won’t stay stretched out but rather it will bounce back into shape nicely.
Yarnover Bind-Off
Premium Video
This is an intermediate bind-off that is super stretchy.
Here’s how it works: After every two stitches that you’re binding off you add one stitch — a yarnover — and then bind it off.
The theory is that when you add more stitches to your bind-off it becomes stretchier. You can even add the yarnover in between every single stitch.

If you want a 2×2 ribbed bind-off that’s stretchy and truly invisible, look no farther than the Kitchener Double-Rib Bind-Off.
The bind-off stitches blend into the 2×2 ribbing perfectly, making it look like the edge is hemmed.
Cable Bind-Off for 1×1 Rib

This is an intermediate, medium speed bind-off that is not very stretchy, but which is lovely for other reasons.
The special thing about this bind-off is that it is half-invisible, half-decorative. The columns of knit and purl stitches in the ribbing blend into the right side of the bind-off row in an attractive way that is sort of a cross between an invisible bind-off and a decorative bind-off.
Cable Bind-Off for 2×2 Rib
Premium Video
This is a quasi-invisible ribbed bind-off with a firm edge that is not very stretchy.
While not truly invisible, the bind-off edge blends in with the ribbing nicely.
Based on the Cable Bind-Off for 1×1 Rib, this 2×2 rib adaptation calls for you to do each movement twice.
