Week 33 Of The FrankenScrap Crochet Along

Our next piece of the FrankenScrap crochet along is made with the Ripple stitch. For this piece you will need a total of 126 meters of DK / Light Worsted yarn. I used DMC Petra in 2 different colours for this piece, a 100% mercerised cotton yarn. It is a lovely silky yarn that is a bit on the thin side for a DK yarn but it does look good and glides over your hook.

I also used a 4 mm hook – I recommend using Clover Amour hooks. A cost effective hook that is comfortable in your hands thanks to their ergonomic design, so doesn’t make your hands tired when crocheting for long periods of time. I love my Clover hooks and although I own several different hook brands, I inevitably end up going back and using my trusty Clovers.

The Ripple stitch is a very popular crochet stitch and is the perfect stitch to use with multiple colours of yarn. For this piece I’ve added a starting and finishing row so that we have straight edges, but for other projects these rows are omitted so that the edges are also rippled.

The Ripple stitch is often used for blanket patterns, clothing, scarves and so much more. It is an easy stitch to make, especially is you omit the starting and finishing rows and leaves the edges wavy.

Joining Your Pieces

Your finished piece should be 37 stitches wide and 28 rows high, which counts as 57 stitches high for joining purposes since you have dc rows plus a hdtr row. You can see how the pieces are joined together here. If you are following my gauge, then your piece will measure 23cm wide and 30cm high. Remember this is just a size indication and if your gauge is consistent throughout, then your pieces will fit together nicely even if your sizes do not match with mine.

The Ripple piece should be joined to the left hand side of both week 31’s Jagged stitch piece and week 32’s Cobblestone stitch piece. Your Ripple piece will make the top left hand corner of your FrankenScrap blanket.

The layout below shows how your pieces should be attached in relation to each other.
