Double Crochet Ripple Pattern

Hi everyone. Matthew at Mister Domestic here with one more tutorial on how to do this double crochet ripple stitch. This, I know, is a go-to stitch for a lot of crocheters because of the simplicity and the texture that it creates regardless of what yarn you are using. Baby blanket, King size, whatever the size this stitch is definitely going to be one that you want to keep in your arsenal. So if you are ready to create this double crochet ripple stitch with me, then stick around so I can teach you all of my tips and tricks. So to get started with this one, in order to set up that bottom chain, you're going to do it in increments of 12, and then add three. For the demo purposes, I'm going to do it twice so it's 24 plus three chain 27. So let me get that started with a starter loop. And then now I am going to chain 27. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Now seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Now, to start on that first row, I am going to double crochet in the fourth chain from the hook. So that's one, two, three, four, right here. So yarn over, insert hook, yarn over pull through. See how there's three on there? Yarn over, pull through two, yarn over, pull through two, like so. And now I'm going to add three more in three stitches. This is one double crochet, two double crochets. And then the third double crochet, which is yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull through three are on there. Yarn over, pull through two. Yarn over, pull through two. And now we are going to go down into that first valley. And what we are going to do is do something called two double crochet together, which is kind of like combining two double crochets into one ending, almost funneling up. So it's going to start just like a double crochet, yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull through, and then we're just going to do the first yarn over pull through two like so and now go in for another double crochet. Yarn over into the next chain, insert hook, yarn over, pull through. See, now there are four on here. Yarn over pull through two. And now since there are three here to combine them all and this is that funneling up, yarn over a pull through all three. And we're going to do one more, two double crochet together in the next two chains. So yarn over, insert hook into that next chain. Yarn over, pull through. Yarn over, pull through two, and then psych, we're going to start the next one in the next chain. Yarn over insert into that next chain, yarn over pull through, there's four on the hook, yarn over, pull through two, then yarn over, pull through all three. And now to go back up we're going to do three double crochets in a row. One, two, three. And now it's an increase on this first apex or peak, we are going to do an increase in the next two. So this one's going to get two double crochets and this one's going to get two double crochets. So let me do two in this stitch. So first one. Two. And then the next one gets two also. One. Two. And now back on the decline, I am going to put double crochets in the next three. One, two, three. And now we have two of the two double crochet together in a row. So this next one, this next pair is going to take up these two chains. Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull through. Yarn over, pull through two. And then just kidding, ]et's go onto the next one. Yarn over, insert into the next chain. There's four on the hook. Yarn over, pull through two and then let's marry all of them. Yarn over, pull through all three. And now in the next two hoops, we need one more, two double crochet together. Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull through, yarn over pull through two, and then now let's begin the next one. Yarn over, insert into this next chain, yarn over, pull through, there's four, yarn over, pull through two, yarn over, pull through all three. And now we are going to continue with double crochets in the next four. One, Two, three, Like so, and then there's going to be an increase this final one. So one and then two. And now to go to the next stage, we're just going to change two or three, depending on how much buoyancy you need. And that's the stretch right here. Sometimes I do two, sometimes I do three for a definitive answer, let's just say three, chain three. One, two, three. And then in that next stitch, we are going to begin the next double crochet. See right here, this is going to go in right here. That's going to be that increase. And now we're going to begin with three going down. Two, three. And now we're at that first valley to where we are going to be able to do the two double crochet togethers. Now I will keep going and meet you back up after about four rows, just to show you how to finish it off. Okay. And now to finish up this little demo piece I am to that final valley, which is the final pair of the two double crochet together. So, yarn over, insert hook, yarn over pull through, yarn over, pull through two. And now let's begin the next one. Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over pull through, there's four on there. Yarn over, pull through two, yarn over, pull through three. Now I'll do the next pair. So, and then now three double crochet in a row. And then two double crochet in that final stitch. For that increase and then boom, boom, boom. Ta-da! Look at the glorious ripple stitch. It's perfect for anything you would wish. La la la. So now you have gotten the skills necessary to creating this double crochet ripple stitch. That is definitely one that I am going to revisit over and over and over on all of the decades left of crocheting that I have left to do. So I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I look forward to seeing you in the next one. Keep it positive, Mr. Domestic out.
