Hello, thank you for the video! I hage a question though...could we not start with the normal swatch and then increase to make the ruffle?
I want to make a top that has a ruffle at the bottom edge so i was hoping to knit top-down

[@mikalott]

Super helpful, thank you!

[@LavenaPerry]

So happy to that!☺️

[@annyrocha227]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@taieshadvs]

Thank you for the helpful tutorial!
I have a question, how would you go about making larger/ wider ruffles? will that depend on the size of yarn you have?

[@LavenaPerry]

To make the ruffle wider, you would complete more rows before doing your cast off stitches. So just knit until it reaches the desired length of the ruffle, and then do your cast off row. If you don’t want to to be so tightly gathered (a looser ruffle), decrease the number of cast off stitches you make on the cast off row. Hope that helps.

@@LavenaPerryAhh okay,Thank you so much! 🤍

[@marshafriedman3959]

I’m assuming this ruffle works in a pattern of 3 to 1stitches?

[@LavenaPerry]

yes, that's correct.

[@anabandeirarocha]

Hello! If you wanted to cast-off how would you do it?

[@paulinelevesque]

Yes, exactly my question: How does it work the other way around, for example on the end of my knit down t-shirt?

[@glinnisbaines]

Is there a pattern for this to use for a ruffle bucket hat?

[@facelessgirl674]

Hi please did you find an answer, I'm trying to knit a ruffle bucket hat and literally all the tutorials are on crocheting

[@SoCalMassage]

Hi, thanks for your video - your explanation is fantastic. I needed 80 stitches for my project, so I started the ruffle with 240 and reduced to 80, however, the project width is way too wide...what would you suggest I try now? M

[@OinksworthTheThird]

What multiple of cast on do you need for this? Ive trued so many different tutorials and i keep ending up with the wrong amound of stitches

[@Josephtheft]

I think she cast on 3x what is originally needed for a normal sock, since she decreases it 2/3rds of its stitches. Try your cast-on stiches, and times it by 3. That might work as a rule of thumb no matter what knitting pattern you use for this

[@prashamasandyb3992]

If you were writing this like a pattern, what would it look like?

[@katiegoff2580]

I understand ruffling the first side as u show in the vid but I can’t wrap my brain around how u do the other 3 sides of the project 🥴

[@evelynpatterson9261]

I like your demonstration but your terminology is off - you are “decreasing” by slip one, knit one, pass slipped stitch over” (sl1, k1, psso). This is the correct terminology, not “casting off”. I know it’s the same technique but if you are teaching beginners, you should use the standard terminology that people will encounter in most patterns.

Thanks for the tip!
