You can finish by cast off using the Kirchner stitch in this case we will need tapestry needle, or as I done use the 3- needles bind off, what required equal number of stitches on two needles and one larger needle, disadvantage of this casting off its leave a bit of ridge on the inside of knitting. I am doing it on the right side of knitting and enjoy it as part of pattern.
