What a lovely small shawl. Perhaps I;’ll make it forour vacation. But I neesd to know how to do the Russian Bind Off you include.
Can you explain it?
thanks you,
Carol
I can’t quite recall how the “real” Russian bind-off goes, but the one I use goes like this:
K2, slip sts back on left needle, k2tog, k1, slip sts back on left needle, k2tog, etc.
Hope that helps!
Merry Christmas!
What do you mean by using both ends of the yarn? Double strand? Thanks k
