BO tog bind off together. To bind off shoulders together, place the
stitches of both shoulders on any sized needles. Hold work parallel, right
sides together, wrong sides facing out in regular knitting position. Take a
third needle, the size the pieces were worked on, and knit the first stitch
from the front needle together with the first stitch from the back needle.
Repeat for the second stitches. Pass the first stitch over the second as
for a regular bind off. Knit third stitches together, bind off and continue
until all stitches of one shoulder have been bound off.
