Baby Abby's Ruffled Bloomers

Lion Brand® Lion® Wool - Ruffles®

GAUGE:

22 sts x 28 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in stockinette stitch with A BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Ruffles yarn requires a special, yet simple, technique. The loops are formed by inserting the needle into this tape-fabric yarn. Click here for a short instructional video and audio description about working with Ruffles.

Bind off all stitches, leaving an end of about 16 inches for sewing.

FINISHING:
Sew up side seams, weave in ends. Weave ribbon through eyelets in waistband. Using sewing needle and thread, secure the ribbon so it cannot come loose.

Note: If baby is old enough to enjoy untying things, it may be prudent to put the bow in the back where it will be difficult to reach.

Optional Leg Cuff:
Using 5 double-pointed needles, pick up 60 stitches around the leg openings. With A, k2, p1 around for 8 rows. Bind off very loosely so the cuff will stretch comfortably, weave in ends.

Optional Leg Ruffle:
Using 5 double-pointed needles, pick up 60 stitches around the leg openings. With B, knit around for 2 rows. Bind off very loosely so the cuff will stretch comfortably, weave in ends.

Cuter than cute! Reviewed by Lion Brand Mail Order New York Office on 2008-01-16 *****
I made these little ruffled bloomers and a sweater to go with them. When it is cold, they really dress up a pair of tights!
