Row 35: Color A - Knit the row. Row 36: Color B - Knit the row. DO NOT TURN. Row 37: This is the Bind off row. Go back to the working yarn of color A and bind off stitches VERY LOOSELY. As you knit the bind off, make sure to allow enough length in each stitch to create a very fexible edge. The bind off tension should match the cast on tension as closely as possible to avoid a curved scarf shape. K 2, pulling the loops out, pass the first stitch over the last stitch. \*K1 Pull the yarn out in a great big loop, about 3/4 of an inch, and pass the last stitch over. \* Repeat between the \*\* until all the stitches are bound off. Let the scarf hang as you are binding off in order to adjust your stitch length to match the tension of the cast on edge. Think loosely!!
