Introduction

Welcome to Rich Textures Crochet on YouTube! In this tutorial, we will learn how to crochet the raised ripple stitch. This stitch is one of my favorites and adds beautiful texture to blanket patterns. Follow along with me as we crochet this stitch together.

What is the Raised Ripple Stitch?

The raised ripple stitch is comprised of double crochet stitches and front post triple crochet stitches. It is a fun stitch that works up quickly and creates a textured ripple effect. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this stitch is a great addition to your skill set.

Supplies Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following supplies:

• Crochet hook
• Yarn

Step 1: Making a Slipknot

To start, make a slipknot using your yarn. This will be the first loop on your crochet hook.

Step 2: Chaining the Stitches

Chain an odd number of stitches plus two additional stitches for the starting chain. For example, we will start with a total of 13 chains.

Step 3: Double Crochet Row

Yarn over and place one double crochet in the fourth chain from your hook. Continue double crocheting in each chain across the row. Chain one and turn your work.

Step 4: Single Crochet Row

Crochet a single crochet in every stitch across the row, excluding the chain one at the beginning. Make sure to work your first single crochet in the first stitch. Chain three, which counts as a stitch, and turn your work.

Step 5: Front Post Triple Crochet Row

Skip the first stitch and the next single crochet. Instead, work a front post triple crochet around the double crochet two rows below. This is done by yarn over twice and inserting your hook around the post of the designated double crochet.

Step 6: Repeat Steps 2-5

Continue repeating Steps 2-5, alternating between single crochet and front post triple crochet rows. This will create the raised ripple stitch pattern.

Conclusion
