BO Question

My pattern tells me to ssk, k4, BO7, k4 and k2tog.

When I do this I get one extra stitch instead of two at the end to do the k2tog. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

What I’ve done so far is ssk, k4, then I k1 to use to bind off with one of the knit sts I’ve just done.

The part that I’ve put in bold is the part where you’re going wrong. You do not want to use any of the 4 stitches you have just knitted in your bind off. So after you SSK, K4, knit the next two stitches and start the bind off on those so that the 4 you just finished knitting remain in tact.

Thank you so much! I don’t know what I would do without this forum!
