Education/Credentials I have been knitting since I was around six.
i am knitting a sweater for my grandbaby and and I am just stuck on the neck edge. it says......bind off 5 sts, work to end, which i have done. Then I assume I now do a purl row. Then it says......bind off from neck edge 2 sts twice, 2 sts twice - 19 sts ( I assume I will have 19 sts on needle)
I am so confused. thanks for any help ......Sherry
Answer The area you are working on evidently has a neck edge and a shoulder edge. When you start the row at the neck edge you bind off, that is what "bind off from neck edge 2 sts twice" means. When you have completed the two additional bindoffs, you should have 19 sts on your needle. This means the above directions are actually 5 rows of the pattern. The purl row you indicate is when your row starts on the shoulder edge.
