GAUGE

24 sts/34 rows = 4" in stockinette st

24 sts/36 rows (18 ridges) = 4" in garter stitch

Edge Stitches:

For all rows except Decrease Rows, slip last st with yarn held to back of work. When working the following row, bring the yarn around the first st to the back of the work before working the first st. This will create an edge that will look almost identical to garter stitch without slipped edge sts, except that the edges will hold their shape better and flare out less.

I-Cord

Using a circular or double-point needle, CO required number of sts.

Next Row: Instead of turning work around to work back on the WS, slide all sts to other end of needle, switch needle back to your left hand, bring yarn around back of work, and start knitting the sts again. I-Cord is worked with the RS facing at all times.

Repeat this row to form I-cord. After a few rows, work will begin to form a tube.

Directions:

Designate one needle Needle 1, and the other Needle 2.

FIRST RUFFLE

Using Needle 1, CO 300 sts.

K 7 rows (see Pattern Notes re. edge sts).

Decrease Row [RS]: [Sk2p] to end. 100 sts.

K 7 rows.

Decrease Row [RS]: [Sk2p] to end. 100 sts.

Hold Needle 1 directly behind Needle 2 with RS facing (yarn tail is at right of work), so that sts on both needles are aligned.
