Every Day I'm Ruffling

Embrace your inner flirt with this enchanting shawl, inspired by the playful ruffles and frills of 80’s fashion. This captivating knitting pattern is crafted in two distinct sections: the body of the shawl is knitted side to side, showcasing eyelets that playfully wink amidst smooth stockinette, adding texture without overwhelming the design. Following this, stitches are picked up along the edge of the crescent shape, where strategic increases create a dramatic ruffle that enhances the overall aesthetic. To achieve the perfect flounce and flair, the border section is worked with larger needles, resulting in airy, breezy stitches that exude an atmosphere of whimsical elegance and effortless drape. Plus, for a seamless finish, a helpful video tutorial on how to join the ruffled border is conveniently linked within the pattern.

This shawl is crafted using double knit yarn, making it the ideal choice for layering—lightweight yet cozy, playful yet practical. For the main body, a solid color yarn will provide a sophisticated backdrop, while the ruffled edge allows you to express your unique personality with your choice of bold or variegated colorways. A 100g skein of contrasting yarn will yield an adorable frill, while 150g will produce the show-stopping flourish illustrated in the pictures. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this stylish shawl will elevate your wardrobe and keep you looking chic on any occasion. Don't miss out on this trendy and versatile knit pattern that celebrates the fun and flair of 80’s style while adding a contemporary twist!
