Peggy’s Stretchy Bind Off - If you are knitting a K1, P1 ribbing, on the row before the bind-off row: K1, M1 (”make one” by making a half-hitch loop), pull the M1 tight, P1.
Repeat around.
Bind off row (go up a needle size or two): K1, slip the M1, pass the K1 over the slipped M1, P1, pass the slipped M1 over the P1, K1, pass the P1 over, etc. as for a regular bind off.
