You’re happily knitting your bottom-up sweater, and you finally get to the neck shaping. You knit along your row and start binding off for the neck and there it is… the pesky gap. If you’re anything like me (a completely neurotic virgo), the asymmetry of the mid-row bind off makes you a little uneasy. The good news is the fix is super easy!
Knit to 1 stitch before where you’re going to start your bind off (shown with a marker in the photo above). You’re going to kfb (knit in the front and back loop) of the next stitch (the stitch before the bind). This will give you an extra stitch to bind off, and will make your neck shaping clean and symmetrical!
That’s it! Start your bind off with the extra stitch from the kfb for a cleaner neckline!
