Double Sided Ruffle

In a few new project concepts I have wanted to incorporate a small ruffle as an applique or accessory.  I knew exactly what I wanted, but of course had to work hard to figure out how to get what I wanted.

It seems to be a vice of mine.  I have a concept in my mind and know I'll get the result, it just takes time.  I refuse help or suggestions, because I seem to believe only I know what it is that I'm looking for.  I have a hard time describing my visions as well.  I am a visual and hands on type person/learner, so even though I can be eloquent with words I often find myself road blocked when asked point blank about something.  

Well, I had a hard time implementing my own pattern.  So, I decided to scour the internet.  Most ruffles I found were either of a knit variety or would be time consuming (neither would do).  Until I found a pattern from Lion's Brand that utilized a ruffle on a sandal.  Of course I wasn't going to use the pattern outright as it was, but it showed me how to make the ruffle look I wanted.  I tweeked it from there in order to make a double sided ruffle.  Gauge is up to your discretion.  By the way, this is a crochet ruffle!

Here's my pattern:

 Chain desired number of stitches + 3

Slip stitch (sl st) into third stitch from the hook

*chain three, sl st into next chain*  repeat to end of row (do not turn)

chain three, sl st into the other side of foundation chain

*chain three, sl st into next chain*  repeat to end of row

(I'm sure if you wanted a larger ruffle look, chaining more than three would work.  I plan to play with the simple pattern myself!)

You should now have a lovely little two sided ruffle.  Actually, it reminds me a bit of a ruffled ribbon!  I think they're really sweet looking and great embellishments to any project, knit or crocheted.  

Feel free to contact me if you have a question about the pattern.
