How to Do an Easy Ripple Crochet Stitch
- 1). Crochet a foundation chain to the width of the finished project. The chain is a multiple of 11 stitches.
- 2). Do 2 dc (double crochet) in second ch (chain) from hook, then 1 dc in in each of the next 3 chs. Skip 2 chs. Return to the starting point of the stitch point for a second row. Double crochet in next 4 ch stitches (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch, then dc in next 4 ch. Skip the next 2 ch. Repeat the stitch pattern from the starting point across to last 4 ch. Double crochet in next 3 ch. Do 2 dc in last ch.
- 3). Chain 2 and turn to begin the second row. The second row will begin at the first peak. Do 2 dc in first stitch. Double crochet in each of the next 3 stitches. Skip the next 2 stitches. Return to starting point. Double crochet in next 4 stitches (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch 1 space. Double crochet in next 4 stitches. Skip the next 2 stitches. Repeat from starting point across to last 4 stitches. Double crochet in each of the next 3 stitches. Do 2 dc in last stitch.
- 4). Chain 2 and turn to begin the third row. Repeat row 2. Notice that at each peak, the ch 2 space forms a pointed apex in the row. The troughs or lowest points are formed when you decrease stitches by skipping two stitches from the previous row. Continue repeating row 2 until your project reaches the desired length.
