4 times the number of stitches you will need for your project. When you start a project with a ruffled border, you will need to cast on 4 times the amount of stitches that your pattern calls for. For example, if your pattern tells you to cast on 30 stitches, cast on 120 stitches to start. This provides the fabric volume for the ruffles. To cast on, make a slipknot and tighten it on the right hand needle. Loop the working yarn around the left hand needle 1 time, and then insert the right hand needle into the loop. Loop the yarn over the right hand needle tip, and pull it through the loop. After you have cast on the required number of stitches, begin knitting. Knit all of the stitches in the first row, unless your pattern instructs you to do otherwise. For example, if your pattern instructs you to work the ruffle in another special stitch, then work that stitch instead.  To knit a stitch, insert the right hand needle through the loop from the front. Loop the yarn over the right hand needle and pull the yarn through the stitch on the left hand needle. Let the stitch on the left hand needle slide off.  You may continue working the rest of your rows in the knit stitch for a garter stitch ruffle. To continue working your ruffle in the stockinette stitch, the second row and all even rows thereafter will need to be purled. Check your knitting pattern instructions to see if this is the recommended stitch. To purl, insert the right hand needle through the first stitch on the left hand needle from the back. Then, loop the yarn over the tip of the right hand needle and pull it through. Hold the yarn taut and then lift the old stitch slide off of the left hand needle. Your ruffle can be as long or as short as you’d like it to be, but a good length might be anywhere from 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm). Keep working the rows until your project is the desired length. Measure the ruffle with a ruler when it seems like you are getting close to the desired length, especially if you are trying to achieve a specific measurement. across the row. Knitting a decrease row will gather the strip of knit stitches you have created and make them start to look like a ruffle. To knit 2 together, insert your knitting needle in through 2 stitches at one time, and then knit the 2 stitches together just the same as you would knit 1 stitch.  Continue to knit 2 together all the way to the end of the row. If you are working in the garter stitch, then work another row of knit 2 together stitches after this row to complete your ruffle border. If you are working in the stockinette stitch, then you will need to purl 2 together all the way across the next row. Purling 2 together is the same as knitting 2 together, but you will be purling 2 stitches at 1 time instead of knitting them. Continue to purl 2 together all the way to the end of the row. After you complete the decrease rows, resume working normal rows in the stitch of your choice or as indicated by your project. For example, if your project calls for knitting all of the rows after adding the ruffle, then knit all of the rows until your project is the desired length.
