# Ruke Cast-Off in Rounds | Elastic Bind-Off | Ruke Knit

Difficulty intermediate Skill finishing 2 min read What it is This cast-off secures live stitches around a circular edge while keeping the finish flexible and clean. How Ruke patterns use it Ruke circular edges, such as cuffs, hems and necklines, need a cast-off that stretches with the garment and does not interrupt the calm finish. Pattern notation examples Use it for cuffs, hems and necklines worked in the round. The final join should feel as considered as the rest of the edge. When to use it Use it when a circular edge needs a flexible, neat Ruke finish. What to check Check edge stretch, even tension and whether the end of the round blends cleanly into the beginning. Common mistakes Casting off too tightly, creating a visible step at the join, or letting the edge flare.
