Juana's Ruffle

Abbreviations: ch = chain. sc = single crochet.

Directions:

Ch 7 or 8 stitches. Join.

First round: Make 14-16 sc through the circle. You may have to crowd the stitches over to make room for that many in the circle.

Second round: 2 sc in the back thread of each stitch from the prior round (make 3 sc, if you want a more dramatic ruffle).

Continue in the manner for as many rounds as you want, stopping one round short of your final width.

Last round: sc in the back of every other stitch from the prior row, with ch 3 between each stitch. This makes a lacy final round.
