This is a gorgeously thick jumper, so much so that I was afraid to wet it to block it in case it never dried; instead I ran an iron lightly over it. Just in time to wear in a blizzard, in Liverpool, and it is nearly Easter…

Grandma’s Favourite Bind Off

I used this as my loose cast-off around the neckline and used 6mm needles for cosiness and looseness.

Place needle in stitches as if to P2tog but wrap the right needle with the yarn clockwise (opposite of usual); pass the stitch on the left needle onto the left needle and repeat until only one stitch remains. Draw the tail through the final stitch using a darning needle as usual.
