SPECIAL TECHNIQUE

3-NEEDLE BIND-OFF: [Seaming 2 pieces together as you bind off.] Place sts of pieces to be joined on separate needles (or each end of a circular needle), hold one behind the other with right sides facing each other, in left hand; with a third needle (the same size or 1 size larger than used for knitting the pieces), k2tog [1 from front needle, 1 from back needle – 1 st on right-hand needle], *k2tog [you now have 2 sts on right-hand needle], bind off 1 st in usual way; repeat from * to end. For decorative seam on right side, work with wrong sides facing.

SPECIAL ABBREVIATIONS

K2tog: Knit 2 together (dec) – Knit 2 sts tog through the front loops [for multiple decs, work using the number of sts specified].

S2kp2: (centered double dec) – Slip 2 sts together as if to knit 2 together, k1, pass 2 slipped sts over k1.
Ssk: Slip, slip, knit (dec) – Slip 2 sts, one at a time KNITWISE to right-hand needle, return the sts to left-hand needle in the turned position and knit them together through the back loops.
