I am currently working on the front of the sweater, shaping the shoulder and neck. I have been working a portion of the stitches, while the rest of the stitches stay unworked. At a certain point, the pattern says to bind off the final stitches of the section I’ve been working, to then slip some of the stitches from the other section into a holder, and finally to join yarn to remaining stitches of the other section. Specifically:
Next row: Purl.
Cast off rem 7 (7-8-8-9-10) sts.
With RS facing, slip next 12 (12-
14-14-16-16) sts onto st holder for
front neck.
Join yarn to rem sts.
My questions are
-
When I cast off rem 7 of the first section, do I cut my yarn as I usually would, leaving just a tail on this section?
-
What does “join yarn to rem sts” mean for those left on the left needle at that point? What yarn? Any yarn? Or the tail I just made?
I’ve also highlighted the section in the attached image.
…
.Thank you!
