SINGLE ROW USE UP YARN PIPPLE

17 Rows of 17 Ripply hills and 8.5 hours later its the width of the bed with a slight overhang and about a foot short at the moment lol

Using up the yarn fast....ooops! can see me having to buy more yarn to finish it

so addictive l cant put it down!!!
Multiples of 12 stitches....start with 5 treble crochet then *3 treble (basic increase....peak of ripple) into next chain stitch then 4 trebles into next 4 chain then half treble into next 3 chain retaining loops on hook then draw last loop through all 4 loops on hook (basic decrease...hollow) then 4 trebles into next 4 chain* and repeat
basically a 3 treble increase and 3 treble decrease with 4 treble between..very basic single row pattern....with 3 chain and 4 treble (equal to 5 treble) to start and 6 treble with the last 2 done as a decrease (equal to 5 treble) to end the row.........
this will keep the edge straight instead of stepped

started with 205 stitches and double strand DK or Chunky and used an 6mm hook
