Knitting -- pullover/jumper sleeve underarms

So you're sure your sleeves are long enough and wide enough to fit you.
Now what?
Now you shape the underarms for set-in sleeves.

On  the next knit row, bind off 6 stitches.
On the next PURL row, bind off 6 stitches.
On the next knit row, bind off 3 stitches.
On the next purl row, bind off 3 stitches.
Knit together the 2 stitches at the start and end of the next 6 KNIT rows.

Knit together means, you put the needle through both stitches at the same time,
wrap the yarn around the needle,
and pull it through both stitches.

Now decrease again on the next 8 rows by binding off the first 2 stitches.
That includes purl rows as well as knit rows.

Bind off the first 3 stitches at the end of the next 2 rows.

Bind off 4 stitches at the end of the next 2 rows.

Bind off the rest of the stitches.

That should make 28 rows of binding off, aside from the top row.

You have another sleeve to knit so that's all for this week.
