Pattern Instructions:
This pattern is worked in a multiple of 12 + 3 chains to maintain the ripple effect. You can adjust the width of your project by increasing or decreasing the number of starting chains.
Foundation Row:
- Create a slip knot and chain a multiple of 12 + 3 (for example, 36 + 3 = 39 chains).
Row 1:
- Work 1 dc in the 4th chain from the hook (this counts as 2 dc).
- 1 dc in the next 3 chains (total of 4 dc).
- Sk 2 chains (this creates the dip in the ripple).
- 1 dc in each of the next 4 chains.
- (3 dc in the next chain) – This creates the fan’s peak.
- Repeat steps 2-5 across the row, ending with 2 dc in the last chain.
- Turn your work.
Row 2:
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
- 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc.
- Sk 2 dc, then 1 dc in each of the next 4 dc.
- (3 dc in the next dc – fan peak stitch).
- Repeat across the row, ending with 2 dc in the turning chain.
- Turn your work.
Row 3 and Beyond:
- Continue repeating Row 2 until you reach your desired length.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
