    The Ripple Stitch (Chevrons)

    Published: Feb 22, 2012 · Modified: Jun 15, 2018 by Tamara Kelly · 8 Comments

    Ripples have been popular in crochet for at least 60 years, and there are dozens of ways to make them. But basically it's just a series of alternating increases and decreases, creating a zigzagging fabric. Here's a video for one kind of Ripple Stitch!

    This pattern would be written as such:
    Ch3 and dc in the same stitch. Dc in the next 8 sts. Work dc2tog over the next three sts, by skipping over the center st. *Dc in the next 8 sts. 3dc in the next st. Dc in the next 8 sts. Work dc2tog over the next three sts, by skipping over the center st.* Repeat from * to * until there is one stitch remaining. 2dc in the last st.

    I hope this gives you a good idea of how ripples come together in crochet!

      How would you go about making tighter v's with double crochet? Can you increase the number of dcs in each increase and decrease to say for or five? Thanks to you I've discovered why my chevrons didn't exactly come out right Lol

      Great video the best I saw thank you for your time. I have a question regarding the pattern.
      I want to make a afghan but I do not know how many starting chains am I supposed to do.

        Thank you Joy! This particular pattern would be worked with a multiple of 20, plus 1, plus 2 for the starting chain.
