Welp, I am now at the place where I should start binding off for this #ripplebralette but the pattern says to do a standard BO loosely and I just don’t trust it. #knitsky

The Russian bind-off is really stretchy. If you do a standard BO purling in pattern, aka purling the purl stitches and knitting the knit ones, it should give you a stretchy bind-off. Another thing to consider: how stretchy of a BO do you need? A not too stretchy one might help the knit keep its 1/2
When in doubt and a pattern asks for a standard bind off I cast off with a larger needle… holding it loosely isn’t the best instruction for me (how loose?! How do I keep the stitches consistent?!) Happy knitting! 🧶
