I do a M1 increase every couple of stitches, it gives the cast-off more width and stretch. It worked fine and only sort of fluted out.<BR/><BR/>But, if you are doing ribbing, you can do the kitchener bind off, which is super stretchy.

I use a crocheted cast off. It gives you a ruffly looking top to your sock when it's off but it lies flat when on your leg. I NEVER have to worry that this cast off will be too tight- in fact it was too loose the first couple of times I did it. (You have to experiment with crochet hook sizes to get it just right) A regular cast off (in rib) done with needles a couple of sizes bigger works well for me too.Mrs. Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182810196497376728noreply@blogger.com
