Work one chevron row
- Chain 1 and turn. Single crochet two together over the first 2 stitches, then single crochet in the next 3 stitches.
- Repeat [3 single crochets in the next stitch for the peak, single crochet in the next 3 stitches, single crochet three together for the valley, single crochet in the next 3 stitches] until 6 stitches remain.
- Work 3 single crochets in the next stitch, single crochet in the next 3 stitches, and single crochet two together over the last 2 stitches. The count stays the same.
Start and check
Chain a multiple of 10 plus 2, for example 22, and work the row above into the chain starting in the second chain from the hook: 21 stitches. Every later row is worked into the stitches below in the same way.
Each repeat uses 10 stitches and makes 10, so every row has the same total: 21 stitches for two peaks. Peaks always sit above peaks and valleys above valleys.
Use it in
A ripple blanket in stripes: use the stripe planner to set the color rows, and the blanket calculator for the width in repeats of 10 stitches.
