STITCH EXPLANATION
dc3tog (dc 3 sts together) (Yarn over, insert hook in next st and draw up a loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops) 3 times, yarn over and draw through all 4 loops on hook – 2 sts decreased.
NOTES
- Afghan is worked in one piece in a ripple pattern.
- When working ripple crochet, your piece may not lay flat until you’ve worked a few rows.
- The ripple pattern in this design is created by working (dc3tog) twice to form ‘valleys’ and working 3 dc in each of 2 sts to form ‘peaks’. In each row, take care that valleys are centered over valleys and peaks are centered over peaks of previous row.
- For those who find a visual helpful, we’ve included a stitch diagram.
