In this video I share how to do a very simple version of a granny ripple stitch plus how to straighten the edge if you don't want the points. This is a great stash buster project or if you have a self striping yarn you've been wanting to try.

🧶 Pattern
Foundation Row:
Ch a multiple of 25 + 3.
📌Tip: Place a stitch marker every 25 ch to mark where each ripple “point” begins.
Row 1 (Setup Row):
CL in 6th ch from hook (skipped chs count as dc and ch-2),
*[Sk 2 ch, CL in next ch] 3 times, (ch 2, CL) in next ch (peak made),
[sk 2 ch, CL in next ch] 3 times, sk 5 ch, CL in next ch (valley made); rep from * across. On final repeat, end after CL in next 3 sps and 3 ch remains. Sk 2 ch, dc in last ch, turn.
Row 2:
Ch 3 (counts as dc), sk first sp (below base of ch),
*CL in next 4 sps, (ch 2, CL) in ch-2 sp (peak made), CL in next 3 sps, sk next CL sp (valley made); rep from * across. On final repeat, end after CL in next 3 sps. Sk CL and dc in top of beg ch-3.
Rep Row 2 for pattern.
🎨 Color Changes (Optional):
For stripes, change colors every 2 rows or as desired, using your preferred joining method.
Optional: Straight Edge Finish
To straighten the wavy top or bottom edge:
Side Slope 1 (Right) :
Row 1: Join yarn with sl st in 1st st. Ch 3, CL in next 3 sps, dc in ch-2 sp of peak. Ch 3, turn.
Row 2: CL in next 2 sps, dc in last sp. Ch 3, turn.
Row 3: CL in next sp, ch 3, sl st in last sp. Fasten off or sl st over to next peak ch-2 sp.
Special Stitch for Valley Fill:
6-dc-Cluster worked over 2 spaces (6-dc-CL)
[Yarn over, insert hook in first sp, yo, pull up a loop, yo, draw through 2 loops] 3 times (3 partial dc in first sp), [yo, insert hook in next sp, yo, pull up a loop, yo, draw through 2 loops] 3 times (3 partial dc in second sp), yo, draw through all 7 loops on hook, ch 1.
📝 Important Note:
In Row 1, each 6-dc-CL is worked across 2 spaces — the ones on either side of the valley space (the space that is skipped).
In Row 2 and 3, the 6-dc-CL is worked over 2 adjacent spaces.
Valley Fill:
Row 1: Join yarn with sl st in ch-2 sp of peak. Ch 3, CL in next 2 sps, 6-dc-CL, CL in next 2 sps, dc in last sp, ch 3, turn.
Row 2: CL in next sp, 6-dc-CL , CL in next sp, dc in last sp. Ch 3, turn.
Row 3: 6-dc-CL, ch 3, sl st in last sp. Fasten off or sl st over to next peak ch-2 sp.
Side Slope 2 (Left) :
Row 1:Join yarn with sl st in ch-2 sp of peak .
Ch 3, CL in next 3 sps, dc in last sp. Ch 3, turn.
Row 2: CL in next 2 sps, dc in last sp. Ch 3, turn.
Row 3: CL in next sp, dc in last sp. Fasten off.
