Ripple Stitch Instructions for Crochet
As you develop crocheting skills, you will naturally add new stitches to your repertoire. Even some of the most intricate crochet stitches are simply combinations of basic stitches, worked in a way to create a fancy stitch. The ripple stitch appears complex when you see how it ripples in and out along a crocheted row; however, the stitch itself only contains single and double crochet stitches.
