The universal period-doubling scaling of a unimodal map with an asymmetric critical
point is governed by a period-2 point of a renormalisation operator. The period-2
point is parametrised by the degree of the critical point and the asymmetry modulus.
In this paper we study the asymptotics of period-2 points and their associated scaling
parameters in the singular limit of degree tending to 1.
