I do not understand how to cast off on the wrong side and do 2 purls and then 2purls together? I do not understand how to cast off the shoulder strap?

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Scholtz, from WS purl the first 2 sts together, *purl the next 2 sts together (= there are now 2 sts on right needle), pass the first stich on right needle over the outermost stitch (= 1 st left on right needle )*, repeat from *-* until all stitches are cast off. Happy knitting!
