Cordova Ruffle Top
The Good Night, Day knitting patterns are written to be easily approachable to everyone- at any knitting level.
Cordova is knit bottom-up on circular needles, knitting flat, creating stockinette. First the ruffle is worked on longer circulars, then decreased stitches are worked over shorter circulars.
Then the front and back are separated, work is divided and knit. Lastly, working directions for straps, with only minimal seaming required.
