This method was brought to my attention by a very talented Raveler and is based on the methods of Elizabeth Zimmermann.

The picture at left shows the Sewn Bind-off using a contrasting colour for clarity.  If using same yarn as garment, leave a tail 3 times the finished edge length.

	1. thread yarn tail into a large-eyed needle 2. insert large-eyed needle from right to left through the first 2 stitches on left-hand needle
	3. pull yarn through; pull yarn snug but not tight, keeping an even tension
	4. insert large-eyed needle from left to right through 1st stitch only on left-hand needle
	5. pull yarn through, keeping an even tension
	6. slip 1st stitch off left-hand needle. Repeat Steps 2 - 6 until 1 stitch remains on left needle
	7. insert large-eyed needle from right to left into stitch on left needle and then into first bound off stitch from front to back and pull yarn through; weave in ends on WS

 The contrasting colour is also a nice design option. 

To use a contrasting colour, cut a piece of yarn 3 times the finished edge length plus 6” [15cm]; leave a 6”[15cm] tail at the beginning; follow Steps 1 - 7 above.
