Single Crochet Ripple

What you can do to figure your amount for an adult blanket is to crochet a small swatch. Measure your swatch to figure your gauge, for how large your stitch work will be. Lets say you want your afghan to be 80". You figure how many of your stitchs will fit in 80". Lets say that 15 stitches will fit in 80". Take 15x15=225 for 225 chains. The add your +4 amount done only one time in the beginning.

Using your example:(15+4) Lets say that you want 6 stitches to complete your project. You take 15x6=90, for 90 chains. Then you add the +4 amount, which is just done once in the beginning of your work.

Really stupid question. This is the first thing I'm trying to crochet. When you say the multiple is 15+4.....does that mean if you do two chains (30) that you still only add 4 (to make it 34) or do you do 30+8 (times the extra 4 by 2 as well)? I'm assuming you only multiple the 15, not the 4, but I would hate to put all that work in and be wrong. I'm sorry this question is probably so basic, this was a great instruction, I get the rest. P.S. how many multiples for a blanket (adult)

The concept is the same as far as reducing and increasing stitches in the same places to get the ripples.

Okay...I'm going to as a dumb question?? But is it the same basic concept for doing a ripple with double crochet, or is it different for double crochet??

When I start on the chain I go through one. I go through two threads on each single crochet. You can go through one if you want to. It leaves an interesting pattern by going through only one.

are you going through two threads or just one

You make it in one piece. You determine how wide you want your afghan to be from the multiple. If you want 12 ripple shapes, then you take 15x12=180+4 for 184 chains. There are many sizes of hooks and yarns in addition to the individual persons tension. The multiple will help you come up with a unique number to fit your crochet style.

so for afghan how many chains we should do like here u did 34 or we make 34 34 and then join them

Making an afghan, baby blanket, scarf.

All you need to do is crochet a chain the length you want and then do one of the pattern stitches I have demonstrated. If you crochet a scarf lengthwise, you would need about 200 chains. If you crochet the width it would be about 50-75 chains.

i was wondering if you can show how to make a scarf so i can pair them together with the beanie hat i learn from your videos.. thanks!

I truly enjoy the detailed manner in which you explain a project. Thank you for the valuable resource you have made available for crochet beginners and aficionados. Is there a particular use for the Single crochet Ripple?
