Instructions
This pattern is made in rounds, but can be used in rows if desired, depending on the project.
Round 1: If you need to join a new yarn color for the edge now is the time to do it. Join your yarn (anywhere is fine) and ch x3.
Then dc x3 into the same stitch you joined the yarn. In the next stitch dc x4. Repeat dc x4 for the rest of the border, even for the stitches in the corners. When you finish the border and are back at the beginning, sl st to the 3rd chain and fasten off the yarn. Then weave in any ends.You may have to fix your ruffles to have them bend like mine, but once they are in place they maintain their ruffle texture.
You have now completed the crochet ruffle border tutorial!
