AC-82 Ruffles & Ridges Shawl

Fiber Trends Pattern AC82
Design by Joanne Clark
Edged with a sassy ruffle and featuring extra long "ties", both sizes can be worn in many ways.
A simple pattern of 3 rows of stockinette alternating with 3 rows of reverse stockinette creates the ridge pattern.

Instructions are given for 2 sizes.
This pattern is easily adjusted for other sizes or other weights of yarn.

Large: 21" (53cm) deep and 102" (259cm) wide at top edge.
Gauge: 13 sts = 4" (10cm)
Yarn Requirements:
Approximately 450 (850) yards (411 (777) meters) of DK or worsted yarn that will knit loosely to the gauge given.
Naturally Yarns Used: Large shawl is shown in JJ's Handpainted Montage 100% wool 8 ply (DK).
Small red shawl is in Sensation (70% wool, 30% angora).
Needles:
US size 9 (5.5 mm) circular needle at least 40" (100 cm) long.
