Hi all,
I'm just switching over from doing scarves to doing sweaters, so please
bear with me!

My pattern reads:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shape Raglan:
Bind off 2 sts at beginning of next 2 rows.
Next Row: Shape as follows:
1st row (right side): k3, sl1, k1, psso, k to last 5, k2tog, k3
2nd row (wrong side): purl
Repeat these 2 rows until 32 sts remain.
Bind off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So my question is this: do I just bind off 2 sts the first time I do
those 2 rows, and then continue the pattern? I know this should be
easy, but I want to make sure.

Exactly right. The 4 stitches you bind off make the ease under the
arm. You could even think of it like this;

Row 1: Bind off 2 sts at beginning of row.
Row 2: Bind off 2 sts at beginning of row

Row 3: (right side): k3, sl1, k1, psso, k to last 5, k2tog, k3
Row4: (wrong side): purl
Repeat Row 3 & 4 until 32 sts remain.
Bind off.

Yes. You BO on 2 rows, then the pattern continues `next row' which
begins the 2 dec/shaping rows.

So the 2 rows in which I bind off I don't follow the pattern, I just
knit/purl?
