Onion bag cast-off
Onion bag cast-off is a pattern-specific finishing reference for the Ruke Onion bag.
What it is
Onion bag cast-off is a Ruke pattern-specific cast-off reference. It belongs to finishing, but it should be read in the context of the Onion bag construction rather than as a universal bind-off for every project.
How Ruke patterns use it
Ruke Knowledge keeps this page because the public video exists and the technique supports a real Ruke pattern. The page should help the knitter understand that some videos explain a specific project moment, not a general rule.
Pattern notation examples
- Round 1 Cast off for Onion bag as shown in the pattern video.
- Finishing Check the final edge before weaving in ends.
When to use it
Use it when working the Onion bag pattern or when a Ruke instruction links directly to the Onion bag cast-off video.
What to check
Check the pattern section, stitch count, direction of work and whether the cast-off is meant only for this bag construction.
Common mistakes
Using the Onion bag cast-off as a default finish for unrelated projects, or skipping the pattern context before watching the video.
