3 Pick up all the stitches on the horizontal section of the shaping until you get

4 Continue picking up stitches as you would for a vertical edge, skipping a
row every few stitches, if necessary. Be sure not to insert the needle into any
large holes caused by the shaping, as doing so will result in a hole in your
picked-up edge.
You can combine what you know about picking up stitches along horizontal and
bound-off edges when you pick up stitches along a curved edge, such as with
neck shaping.
1 Starting at the top-right corner, with the right side facing, insert the needle
into the center of the V of the first stitch, just below the bound-off edge of the
shaping.
2 Wrap the working yarn around the needle, as you would to knit, holding a
6 -inchtail, as shown.
