Lion Brand^® Wool-Ease® - Ruffles

GAUGE:

20 sts + 22 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) with smaller needles and A in St st (k on RS, p on WS).
16 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) with larger needles and C in Rev St st (p on RS, k on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

PATTERN STITCH
K1, P1 Rib
Row 1: *K1, p1; repeat from *.
Row 2: K the k sts and p the p sts.
Repeat Row 2 for K1, p1 Rib.

NOTES:

Knitting with Ruffles requires a special, yet simple, technique. The loops are formed by inserting the needle into this tape-fabric yarn. Please click here to read or click here for a short instructional video and audio description about working with Ruffles.
