loose cast off (co) or bind off (bo)
first stitch: knit - in, around, through, off
second stitch: in, around, through, separate needle tips, over & off
in - insert your needle in the front of the stitch, approaching from the left side
around - bring the yarn around the tip of your needle, wrapping from back to front
through - bring the tip of your righthand needle under the lefthand needle and through the little hole
separate needle tips - pull the tips of your needles apart to allow some yarn to feed between the two stitches. this keeps your co from being too tight.
over & off - lift the second stitch over the first stitch using your lefthand needle and off the righthand needle
