How To: Crochet The Ripple Stitch 

I know this is old, but for anyone still struggling… the ripple stitch always starts and ends with an increase. So if counting the chain as a stitch confuses you then ignore the turning chain, and put 2DC in the first STITCH (not chain) then don’t work into the turning chain at each end. If you are counting the chain as a stitch, the first DC still goes in the STITCH(not the first chain). Also, to keep the ripple effect your increases should always be on top of your increases from the previous row and decreases on top of decreases.. I hope that helps!! And to wool and the gang: I feel like the person in this video is not an experienced crocheter and made some errors and could’ve done a LOT better at explaining/showing(especially if it’s labeled as a beginner project). If you’re charging as much as you are for the kit to make this sweater, put more effort into the pattern please!

What about the beginning of the project seems strange starting half way through 🤔

I bought this kit from WATG, to make the ripple Malibu outfit. I’m making the (size 1), the pattern is confusing and the tutorial doesn’t… really explain, it to well? This’s my first time ordering from them and the kit is costly. So to spend that much and the pattern instruction does not add up leave me put of.😔

So paintful to watch🤪

I’m making this right now and the written pattern is really confusing. This video also starts the row in two different ways... my work is getting straighter and straighter every row. I’m going to pull it out tomorrow and see if I can fix it... if anyone has any pointers please help !!

ok the stich itself is not hard, I’ve done this before, but pls explain to me why the written pattern differs from the video?? i thought the pattern was strange since i know how to do ripple stich so i checked out the video and the instructions are different??

This video and the written pattern are so different. I’ve had to restart more than I ever have for any project, and even reached out to the help desk at WATG because I’m so lost lol. The written pattern only calls for one increase, then immediately making 4dc’s “work 2dc stitches into the next stitch, work 4 dc stitches.” Also for my size (size 1) the starting ch is not a multiple of either 12 or 14, which is the only way I’ve ever been taught to make a ripple stitch (I think this is where most of my confusion is coming from.) The written pattern also doesn’t call for placing 2dcs into the last stitch, unlike this video shows………what gives?

And this pattern is labeled "Easy" 😳

This is really confusing. I bought this exact kit from WATG and the instructions say to ‘work 2 double crochet stitches into the next stitch’ but also to make ‘2 double crochet decreases’ is this not the same thing? Also the booklet doesn’t even explain how to do decreases.. unsure how this is a beginner project

Thanks for the tutorial! Im going to try my dc's in the back look to have more of a wave effect. xoxo

Interesting way to crochet?

have been making the malibu ripple blanket following this pattern but its just not rippling? its just straight lines lol, any idea what i'm doing wrong/any tips?

Excellent tutorial!!! I just would like to know what is the "multiple of" please, so I know how many chains to start the project with, and to make it in different sizes.

Can I purchase just the pattern for the ripple stitch sweater on your website? I already have the yarn I want to use and don’t want to pay over $100 just for the pattern when I don’t the yarn that comes in the kit.

This shows starting a new row in two different ways. From the red to pink the first double stitch goes into the first stitch, but from pink to blue she goes into the base of the chain! I followed the second one by accident, and I kept getting an additional stitch per row. What is the right way???

Hello.. may I know how many stitches is your foundation chain?

Do you have written instructions?

Why am I even more confused after watching this? This does not seem the same as Malibu sweater as it never says to turn.. I don’t know who to trust but I’m getting tired of ripping this out

Why do you not have the colors in restock I cannot purchase the yellow one

literally DO NOT use this tutorial she does is wrong lol find literally any other video and save your sanity never buy their patterns xoxo 😘

Well over all disappointed in written instructions and this tutorial bc nothing said about keeping your stitches lined up and more but I’m done

The way she could not properly handle her working yarn whatsoever almost gave me an aneurysm.
