What it is

Ruke Cast-Off in rounds is used for cuffs, hems and necklines worked in the round. The focus is even tension and a smooth join at the end of the round.

How Ruke patterns use it

Many Ruke edges are finished in the round: cuffs, hems, necklines and circular sweater sections. Ruke Cast-Off in rounds should be treated as a finishing technique where elasticity and a clean final join matter as much as simply securing stitches.

Examples

Cuff appears in 25 parsed pattern structures, and Sleeve (from armpit to cuff) appears repeatedly.
Use this page when the edge must stretch over hands, head or hips without flaring.

When to use it

Use it for circular hems, cuffs and necklines that need a clean elastic finish.

What to check

Check the final join, edge stretch and whether the bind-off tension stays even around the whole round.
