Hello my lovely artists!!! This is the last day of this tutorial of this lovely stitch. I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have, and I would love to hear and see the creative pieces you've made using this stitch. Let's get started on the final piece. Row 4: Sl st in the first 2 sc. Ch 6, TTC (triple treble crochet is created by yarn over 4 times, insert hook in stitch, yarn over, draw up loop on hook, and you now have 6 loops on the needle, then draw through 2 loops at a time until there is only 1 loop left on the hook, your triple treble crochet has been made) in the next 2 sc, 3 TTC in the next sc. *TTC in the next 3 sc, skip next 4 sc, TTC in the next 3 sc, 3 TTC in the next sc*. Repeat from * to * to the last sc. Your work should look like this: Now there you are. Any questions, don't forget to comment below or write me at gloriouscrochet@gmail.com.

Row 2: Insert hook in first sc, pull up loop on hook, insert hook in next sc, pull up loop on hook (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops, (2sctog has been made causing a decrease). *Sc in next 3 sc, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 4 sc, skip next 2 sc*. Repeat from * to * until last 5 sc. Sc in next 3 sc, perform 2sctog in last 2 sc. Ch 1 turn. Row 2 is completed. Now your work should look like this.

Vintage Ripple Stitch

Here is day 1 to learning this awesome stitch. Now I stumbled upon this beautiful stitch on Facebook when it was posted by Edinir Aparacido Bento. It came complete with this easy to use chart! Right? Wrong! This chart is almost impossible to follow if you want to learn this stitch, so I decided to share with you what I did in a four-day tutorial. Day 1, Row 1: Chain 32. Beginning with second ch from hook, sc in the next 4 ch, 3 sc in the next ch, *sc in the next 4 ch, skip 2 ch, sc in the next 4 chk, 3 sc in next ch*. Repeat from * to * until last 4 ch. Sc in last 4 ch, ch 1 turn. Your work should look like this. Good work! See you tomorrow for day 2 lesson 2!

Copyright Infringement

What do you about that? A Chinese company purchased 1 of my bonnets a while back, decided to mass produce the bonnets, but stole the image that I use for my online store to display what the bonnet looks like. The pattern is not mine, but the image of the bonnet is. I tried reporting it to the online store that the company is using, but for some reason, my complaint won't go through (hmmm go figure). Does anyone know what I should do about this? I want to thank one of my loyal customers for bringing this to my attention.
