This will give you a nice loose cast off to a project such as a shawl.

With knit side facing, knit 2 stitches as you would for a normal knitted cast off
... but instead of passing the first over the second and off the needle...
either slip both stitches back onto the left needle and knit them together through the back...
or I prefer to leave them on the right needle...
and insert the left needle through the front of these 2 stitches and knit them together (give the same result).
As normal cast off, make your stitch count up to 2 once again and repeat to the end of the row and you're done!
