How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the lower edge up. It starts with 384 (400) stitches of white Einband for the ruffle, halved in one decrease round; then black Léttlopi with two strands of white Einband in a pattern from the chart, decreasing to 72 (75) stitches. Short rows raise the back, the neckband is 3 cm of rib, and a second small Einband ruffle — three stitches from every one — finishes the top. Rinse it and lay it flat, puckering the ruffles.
