Ruke Cast-Off in rows
Ruke Cast-Off in rows finishes flat edges with controlled elasticity.
What it is
Ruke Cast-Off in rows is used when a flat edge needs to remain neat and flexible. It is useful for bands, hems and open edges.
How Ruke patterns use it
Flat Ruke pieces, cardigan bands, scarf edges and open hems need a cast-off that is controlled across rows. The goal is a finished edge that does not shorten the fabric or look tighter at row ends.
Examples
Ruke Fluffy Cardigan and other flat cardigan constructions use row-based fabric where edge tension is visible.
Accessory patterns such as scarves and shawls make cast-off tension especially noticeable along the finished edge.
When to use it
Use it for flat bands, hems and open edges that need controlled elasticity without a bulky finish.
What to check
Check edge tension at the beginning and end of rows and make sure the finished edge does not pull shorter than the fabric.
