Pattern Notes:

Pattern is a multiple of 10 stitches + 1 (add 2 for the base chain).

I find it easiest to work ripple stitch patterns when I understand the “lay of the land”. Here are some basic rules to understand before following the written pattern below:

A ripple stitch (also called a chevron stitch) has a “peak” at the top and a “valley” at the bottom.

In this particular ripple stitch pattern, 3 double crochets worked into a single stitch form the peak. When working into a previous row, the 3 dc go into the center stitch of the previous row’s double crochet peak.

The valleys have 3 stitches double crocheted together (dc3tog). To double crochet stitches together, make a double crochet, but STOP before pulling thorough the last 2 loops on the hook. Then make an incomplete double crochet into each of the next 2 stitches (3 incomplete dc stitches worked). Then YARN OVER and pull through all stitches on the hook. After row 1, this 3 stitch decrease is worked over the decrease from the prior row and the stitch on either side of it.

The sides end at the top of a peak, but with only 2 stitches worked.

Now.. onto the crochet baby blanket pattern…
