“Feel like a girl in ‘Ruffles’,” suggests Selesnick. “Twirl and whirl with a ruffled hemline and ruffled bell sleeves, adorned with ribbons & bows. Simple to knit and fun to wear, you will be the ‘Bell of the Ball’ wherever you go!” This is a brilliantly simple pattern, one that any competent beginner should be able to pull off with ease and delight. Shoulders are drop and sleeve tops flat. There’s a bit of back neck shaping for good tailoring and to give more of a curve to the neck, and otherwise duck soup-- and the result is maddeningly pretty.
