STITCH EXPLANATION:
dc2tog (dc 2 sts together) (Yarn over, insert hook in next st and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops) twice, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook - 1 st decreased.
NOTES:
Throw is worked in a ripple crochet pattern. The ripple pattern is easy to do, but it’s important to remember that you may need to work several rows before the ripple pattern becomes clear.
The ripple pattern in the design is created by skipping 2 sts to form valleys and working (dc, ch 2, dc) to form peaks. In each row, take care that the valleys are centered over valleys and the (dc, ch 2, dc) are worked in the ch-2 sp of peaks of previous row.
Yarn color is changed following Stripe Sequence. To change yarn color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Proceed with new color. Fasten off old color.
STRIPE SEQUENCE:
Work 4 rows with A, 4 rows with B, 4 rows with C, 7 rows with A, 7 rows with B, 7 rows with C, 4 rows with A, 4 rows with B, and 4 rows with C for a total of 45 rows.
THROW:
With A, ch 77.
Row 1 (RS): Dc in 4th ch from hook (3 skipped ch do not count as a st), dc in next 5 ch, * (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch, dc in next 6 ch, sk next 2 ch, dc in next 6 ch; rep from * across to last 8 ch, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch, dc in next 5 ch, dc2tog - you will have 5 ripples in this row.
Rows 2-4: Ch 3 (does not count as a st), turn, working in back loops only, sk first st, dc in next 6 sts, * (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 sp, dc in next 6 sts, sk next 2 sts, dc in next 6 sts; rep from * to last ch-2 sp, (dc, ch 2, dc) in last ch-2 sp, dc in next 5 sts, dc2tog; leave beginning ch unworked. Change to B in last st of Row 4.
Rep Row 2 and continue to change yarn color following Stripe Sequence until all 45 rows of sequence have been completed.
Fasten off.
FINISHING:
Weave in ends.
