ReplyDeleteHi Louise, I don't quite understand the binding off instructions. I cast off one (with one stitch left on right needle) then K3tog. I've then got 2 stitches on my right needle and 2 on the left. I then passed the left stitch over the right on my right needle and proceeded to BO the last two stitches on the left needle, but it didn't look right. Cheers. Julia
