Question I am making a sweater and it calls for bo on both sidesides of neck. How do I bind off when working where the bo would be at the end of a row in center? It is open at the neck.
Answer The bind off on either side of the neck is for the shoulders. The neck is worked for an additional few rows above the top shoulder seams.
Binding off can be done anywhere in your work, and is sometimes doen for buttonholes where on the next row the number of bound off stitches is added again for the top of the buttonhole.
Basically, you will bind off for the first shoulder, knit the stitches for the neck, then bind off the other shoulder. The pattern probably tells you then to cut the end, and reattach to finish working the neck.
