How to do a ruffly cuff!

[deliciouspear]

First follow the instructions for longies/shorties/capris here:

Knit the legs to the length you want.

Knit 1, Increase 1 for one row
Knit one row
Knit 1, Increase 1 for one row
Knit one row
cast off.

This will give you a flare like this:

For a bigger ruffle, like the ones in this post:

simply repeat the
Knit 1, Increase 1 for one row
Knit one row
an extra time (or two if you want to get crazy.)

This will work for a hat brim as well, but you will have to do the math and cast on the extra stitches and then decrease every other row instead of increasing!

As always, please remember that you are free to use, distribute, knit from, sell items you make from these patterns, just don't claim you came up with it or sell the pattern yourself and if people ask, send them here.
