Armholes Bind off Need Help with Katia Pattern

How-to Questions
1

I thought to try my first sweater and choosed a pattern from Katia Bebe 52 book/Model 18. I guess Katia patterns maybe not the best way to start for a frist sweater but wanted something with that yarn since I have many yarns of this.

“[I]When work measures XXX length….bind off (cast off) at both edges, at the beginning of each row: [U]1 time 4 st.[/U][/I]”

After that I am supposed to decrease 8 sts. So what does [U]1 time 4 st.[/U] means?

Am i supposed to bind off 4 sts. on 1st row and another 4 on second or

4 sts. 1st row and 1 st. on next 4 rows?

I already contacted Katia for explanation but didn’t get a reply yet so if anyone can explain me this I would appreciate it.

Bimd off 4sts at the beginning of the first row and then 4 sts at the beginning of the second row. That’ll give you the symmetrical bind off for the beginning of the armholes.
Good luck with your sweater!

My logic said that I should do this but since I never done this before I wasn’t really sure…

Thank you so much!!! Have a nice day :muah:
