Single Crochet Ripple Pattern

Hey everyone, welcome to this tutorial where me, Matthew, of Mister Domestic, is going to teach you all how to do the single crochet ripple stitch. I created this sample that you'll see in just a little bit. It's like a chevron situation that is gorgeous for scarves, afghans, blocks, anything you can really think of. So I hope that you all enjoy this tutorial as much as I did filming it so that I could teach all of you. This lesson is going to focus on this awesome single crochet ripple stitch, or a chevron stitch.

It's such a dynamic texture-riddled stitch that I adore it. And you can use it for so many applications, scarves, hats, you can make an afghan using this. This is a little demo piece that is going to help me teach all of you how to tackle this. And the first thing to do is the bottom chain here. And for this stitch, you need to chain an increment of 11 and then add two.

So let me do the first starter chain. Then one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11. I'm going to go up to 22 for this. 22. Now I'm going to add two.

So now that I have chained 24, I am going to start by putting two single crochets into the second chain from the hook, which is not this one, but this one, and that is going to be an increase. So every beginning and end of this stitch will have an increase. So one single crochet. Two single crochet. And then you'll do four single crochet in a row.

Now this is where we begin the ripple and we are going to start at a valley, which means it's a bottom. In order to do that, you're gonna skip two stitches. So skip one, two, and in the third stitch, begin four single crochet in a row. One. Two.

Three. And four. And then now this is... At the top of the ripple, which is going to be a peak, so what happens here is in that next stitch, you're going to put three single crochets and that will create the hump. And now I'm going to go down and do the same thing, four single crochets in a row.

Four. Now to do the final valley in this, I'm going to skip two and then do four in a row. Two. Three. And then four.

And in that final stitch, there's going to be an increase there, so you're gonna put two. One. Two. And now chain up, chain two. That's going to get us into our next set.

And we're going to go into this right here, the top of that first stitch, and do an increase. One. And two. And then I'm gonna keep going back and forth. I'll complete this row.

So this is going to be four single crochet in a row. One. Two. Three. Four.

And then now we're gonna skip two, jump across, and do four in a row here. And then at this peak, this peak gets how many? One, two, three, right here. And then four single crochet in a row. And then what do we do whenever we get to the bottom, to a valley?

We're gonna skip two and then do four in a row. One. Two. Three. Four.

And then that final stitch gets two. So it gets an increase, or two single crochet. One, two. And then you just go back and forth. So now I'm gonna chain to boom, boom.

I'm going to go back through this row by entering right here. One. Putting one more so that one gets an increase, can't forget that. And then four in a row. One.

Two. Three. Four. Then we skip two. And do four in a row.

One, two, skip, and then we just keep going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And I am going to add a couple of different... colors to it so you can see the ripple and then I'll show you how to close it off. So now I'm on the fourth row of this. I just wanted to show you how dynamic and texture-riddled this absolutely is.

I did rows of four, so rows of four of the first color, then I went to a second color, and now I'm doing the fourth row of this. You can go back and forth or add multiple colors. You can do a gradient, do a rainbow. It's just the texture it creates, and its simplicity, add a variegated yarn, or gradient and it will be gorgeous. So from here, to finish this up, I go across two, then do four in a row.

Two. Three. Four. And then in this final one, I do an increase. One, two.

I'm gonna close it off. And how I like to close mine off is just do it one more stitch and then securing it and locking it. And we are good to go with understanding how to do the single crochet ripple stitch or chevron stitch. Can't wait to see you do it. So now all of you have gotten the skills to doing this single crochet chevron/ripple stitch that, honestly, doesn't take a lot of thought.

Whenever you can grab a couple of skeins of yarn, a hook, go your couch, and go to town creating a scarf, a blanket, anything that is your project need. So I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I look forward to seeing you in the other crochet tutorials on this platform. Keep it positive, everyone. Mr. Domestic out.
