[Nfb-krafters-korner] help with decreasing the crown of a hat?

[Barb Roland]

Portia yes there is and I’ll admit to still having some difficulty with it but what you do….
When you have reached the length you want you will then do 3 rows of knit 2 purl 2
next you will do the gathered bind off by taking the working yarn behind the 2 knit stitches and pick up your 2 purl stitches, behind the 2 knit pick up the 2 purl
make sure to tighten up you working yarn as much as you can
when you get back to your starting point you will now starting picking up your 2 knit stitches
now you will gather as usual however………and this is where I still have problems
when gathering the purl stitches are suppose to move toward the inside while the knit stitches are suppose to gather toward the opposite side
I really have to work and rework to get the purl row tightened up.

Hope that helps,
Barb
