Ruffle Fullness & Drop Planner

Convert the wearer’s measurement and your washed gauges into a fitted body count, staged ruffle increases and a measured finished drop.

Your project inputs

Actual head circumference Measure at the intended wear line.

Negative ease Use washed stretch and recovery.

Body stitch gauge Stitches per 10 cm or 4 in.

Body round gauge Rounds per 10 cm or 4 in.

Crown center to ruffle base Measure on the intended wearer.

Sectors / count multiple Eight suits the example crown.

Ruffle fullness Ratio = final ruffle count ÷ fitted body count.

Exact fullness ratio Adjust in 0.05 steps if desired.

Increase transition Two rounds soften a large jump.

Ruffle round gauge Rounds per 10 cm or 4 in after washing.

Desired ruffle drop Attachment line to lowest worn wave.

Calculated plan

Use the calculated counts as construction targets, then pass the worn fit, fullness, eye-clearance and recovery gates. Rounded counts are recalculated so you can see the actual result.
