This lovely single frill adds a nice ruffly edging to knits. It creates a touch of femininity to sweaters, jackets or skirts. This unique edging also looks lovely on shawls, scarves, blankets and throws.
The frilled edging is worked by casting on four times the number of stitches required for the garment. It is then reduced by 50% on the first row and another 50% on the second row.
The sample shown below has been worked with a cable cast on edge that gives it a strong but flexible cast on.

(Cast on 4 times the finished number of stitches required)
Row 1 (RS) *K2, lift 2nd stitch over knit stitch and off RH needle; repeat from * to end
Row 2 *P2tog; repeat from * to end
These 2 rows form the frilled edging - continue knitting in pattern once the frilled edge has been worked.
