Raised Ripple Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial

Learn how to crochet theRaised Ripple Stitch with this photo tutorial.

Isn’t this a gorgeous stitch?! I’ve seen this raised ripple stitch for years and remember trying it as a newbie but became quickly frustrated. When I ran across it recently in one of my crochet books, I decided to give it another shot and it was SO FUN! It’s definitely not a stitch for total beginners, but if you’ve got some patience and understand basic stitches, you should definitely give it a whirl.

Skills & Abbreviations:

FRTR – Front Raised Treble – yarn over hook twice, insert hook from front around double crochet stitch indicated from right to left, then complete the treble crochet as normal.

• ch – chain
• sc – single crochet
• dc – double crochet
• st – stitch

Pattern:

Chain an odd number of stitches plus two.

Row 1: 1 dc in 4th ch from hook, 1 dc in each ch to end, turn

Row 2: Ch 1, skip first st, 1 sc in each st across, ending with 1 sc in 3rd of ch 3, turn

Row 3: Ch 3, skip first sc, *1 FRTR around dc below next sc, skip this sc, 1 dc in next sc, repeat from *, ending 1 dc in ch 1, turn

Row 4 Repeat row 2

Row 5: Ch 3, sk first sc, *1 dc in next sc, 1 FRTR around dc below next sc, repeat from *, ending 1 FRTR around dc below ch 1, turn.

Repeat rows 2 – 5 until piece is as long as you’d like. Tie off and weave in ends.

That’s all there is to this lovely pattern!
