Beyond the Basics

Sloped Bind-Off

The sloped bind-off is ideal for shoulder and neck shaping. It avoids the stair-step edge that is formed by a series of bind-offs by making a smooth transition from one bind-off row to the next.

Step 1 Step 1 Step 1

1) *One row before the next bind-off row, work to the last stitch of the row. Do not work this stitch. Turn the work.

2) With the yarn in back, slip the first stitch from the left needle purlwise as shown.

3) Pass the unworked stitch of the previous row over the slipped stitch. The first stitch is bound off. Bind off the desired number of stitches for that row. Work to the end of the row. Repeat from the *.
