I had seen the pic, but still couldn’t visualize how the directions as written would produce it. Thank you for explaining the short hand.

At the beginning of the next row, bind off 3 sts. Work across.
At the beginning of the next row, bind off 3 sts. Work across.
At the beginning of the next row, bind off 2 sts. Work across.
At the beginning of the next row, bind off 2 sts. Work across.
At the beginning of the next row, bind off 9 sts. Work across.
At the beginning of the next row, bind off 9 sts. Work across.
Once you’ve done all of this, you should have 17 (17, 20, 22, 22, 24) st left.

You can see a photo of Heather’s hood, unsewn, in the previous knit-along post, which will show you how it should look.

I’ve been trying to prepare my house for sale while working on it. I’m now at the point of creating the hood and am confused on the directions for binding off and shaping the hood. I managed to pick up the 56 stitches for the largest size and am currently doing the st st for 11 inches. Is there a graphic diagram available that shows which stiches to bind off and which stitches to knit?

See another block post from the Lion Brand Notebook that shows an example. If you still have trouble, you may also want to consider adding a ribbon backing to stabilize the fabric. Just do a web search on your preferred search engine (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) for tutorials on adding a ribbon backing to your knit fabric.

My only problem is with the buttons. Since I knit it using Homespun, I’m not sure how to anchor the buttons securely without them pulling through the rather loose weave of the sweater.
Thanks so much for the help along the way and inspiring me to stretch my knitting skills. I’ve discovered your youtube posts, and have challenged myself to try some of your other projects. I just bought the yarn to try the fallen leaves scarf!

I learned a couple of new techniques and enjoyed reading others’ progress. Thanks to Heather for posting such great pics. My local AC Moore had the Fisherman wool on sale last week so my next project is going to be an aran cardigan. Love LB line of yarn and the affordability for my budget in light of the economic situation. Thanks again!

On the homepage look for ‘community’. In the drop down menu you will find ‘customer gallery’. That is where you can do the search for the picture.
