I am working on the back piece of a raglan cardigan and need some help with regard to the shaping as I get toward the top of the back piece. My pattern says:

Shape Raglans: Bind off 2 sts beg next 2 rows.
Work 2 rows even

(the following part I understand)
1st Row: K1 Sl1 K1 psso. Knit to last 2 sts K2tog K1
2nd Row: Purl

The Shape Raglans part is what confuses me. Are they giving me directions there or are they telling me that the
1st Row: K1 Sl1 K1 psso. Knit to last 2 sts K2tog K1
2nd Row: Purl
are what shapes the raglan?
