Shetland Ruffles is a two color feather and fan stripe with sinuous curves.
The pdf includes 3 versions of the pattern: the original version, a 2017 version (a slightly simplified version of the original chart, using a variegated yarn to create the illusion of striping without changing yarn every 2 rows), and a 2011 variation (with a higher concentration of increases and decreases for a more ruffled effect).
The pattern can also be knit with lace weight yarn.
The pattern pdf contains charts, instructions and full written patterns for all 3 versions.
Shetland Ruffles is also available as part of the knit/lab Originals volume 2 eBook.
$7.00

Shetland Ruffles 2017 version (below)
