I am learning to knit and wondering if I will ever learn. Knitting books have been scarce.

Binding off and then seaming the shoulders makes for a sturdy seam to provide more structure for a large sweater like this one, but ultimately the decision is always yours! If you would prefer to do a three-needle bind-off, that’s just fine. I just provide explanations about what I chose to do. Enjoy!

I was having a problem finding the blog! I have my front and back blocking now have to do sleeves. Can’t wait to get it finished. I used a contrasting solid color for the ribbed portions.

About joining at the shoulders: why can’t I do a 3-needle bindoff instead of a graft?
I kept my stitches on waste yarn until I know what I need to do here/

That is a predicament! I might just pick up a couple along each shoulder seam like I mentioned I did and the 34 along the back of the neck – that should get you close to 38 maybe? Then work one row where you increase evenly to get up to 46 before you start the collar instructions. This will make the stitches less bunched than I fear might happen if you try to pick up too many stitches in that area right away. Hope this helps!

While it would eliminate some seaming, there are many other things to consider about knitting a sweater in the round or flat. See my earlier post where I address these considerations:

I have exactly 34 stitches along the back neck in order to start the collar. Unfortunately I’m making an XL, which calls for 46 stitches. How do I stuff them all into the 34 stitch back neck?
