Need some help with binding off instructions on the neckline of this sweater

How-to Questions

Hello…first time poster to this site…and newby to knitting, so bear with me please. I’ve completed the back piece of the baby sweater I am making, and I’m at the point where you begin the back neckline.

It says this: Bind off 15 sts at beg. next row. Place next 26 sts on a holder. Bind off remaining 15 sts.
I am so confused. I did the binding off of the first 15 sts, on the WS (purl side), and I collected the next 26 sts onto a pin holder. Now my question is : how do I take the last stitch over the held stitches to bind off the remaining 15 sts, on the left side of the sweater shoulder area? I looked on websites, videos, read knitting books and couldn’t find an answer! PLEASE HELP! I need to get this birthday gift I’m making for my one year old grandson finished this weekend! :slight_smile:
:knitting:

Hi and welcome to Knitting Help. Don’t worry about using a stitch from the holder, just bind off the last 15 in the normal way, that is knit the first two stitches and pass one over. HTH

thanks! I actually got desperate and called a local yarn Boutique and the owner walked me thru it. She said I need to cut off the tail end of the yarn after binding off and tie it off…then go and bind off the remaining 15 stitches! I don’t need to bypass the 26 stitches on the holder and have a long dangling yarn crossing over the neckline! :frowning: That was what I was worried about doing. Sorry…didn’t know anything about this going into this project! Learning as I go! <3
