Crystal Palace Yarns
free knit pattern in Kiddo Yarn

             
The Ruffled 'What's It ?'
 


Worn as a shawl - front above
and back below

 
Worn as a sash
(memories of Girl Scout Sashes?)
 

It could be a little girl's skirt
or a tutu
or what else?

A Kiddo 'What's It?' - many uses
EASY to knit

Materials:
2 balls Crystal Palace Yarns Kiddo:
1-50 gram ball color #418 "scuba dive" = color A
& 1-50 gram ball of #204 "starry blue" = color B
Needles: Crystal Palace Bamboo 26" Circular  US size 13 
(gauge is not significant)

The entire What's It is knit in garter st (knit all rows).
You will have a lot of sts in the last few rows on your needle, but you do not need to worry too much about counting sts. If you miss an occasional inc it won't matter.

[I knit this as an experiment to try making a ruffled edge with Kiddo and to see how far 2 balls would go - and they went a long way!]
