Materials:
Approx 150g / 750yds of 4ply Acrylic blend.
3.5mm hook.
Abbreviations:
DC = Double Crochet (US),(Treble Crochet UK).
SC = Single Crochet (US),(Double Crochet UK).
Ch = Chain.
Trn = Turn.
SS = Slip stitch.
BPDC = A Double Crochet (UK Treble) stitch into the back post
by inserting your hook down into the back post from the top of
the stitch (as you would normally put your hook in, but into
the back post only).
FPDC = A Double Crochet (UK Treble) stitch into the front
post only by inserting your hook up into the stitch from
below.
Foundation:
3. Leave a tail of about 40cm, as this will be handy later.
Make a chain that equals the width measurement you
finished with earlier (when laid out without being
pulled). It is important that the total number of chain
stitches are even-numbered and divisible by four, as we
will be using a stitch pattern that repeats in 2xDC &
2xCh. Dont worry if the length is a little shorter or
longer than your measurement, as its not crucial with
this design, due to the stretchy nature of the stitch
pattern.
Trn.
4. SC into the 2nd ch from the hook (so, not the one that the
loop on your hook comes out of, but the one next to
that). SC into each ch to the end.
Trn.
Rippled Edge band:
5. Row 1. Ch3 (counts as first DC). DC into next SC. *FPDC
into the next 2 SC. BPDC into the next 2 SC.*
Repeat between the * to the end of the row. Trn.
6. Row 2. Ch3. DC into next DC. Now, if the next 2 DC of the
previous row were FPDC stitches, then make your next 2
stitches BPDCand vice versa.
Continue the row to the end, alternating 2 FPDC with 2
BPDC. Trn.
7. Row 3 (and more). Continue creating rows in this way
until you have between 3 to 8 rows (I chose to have 7),
the preference is yours as to how wide you like it. For
each row start with ch3 then follow with 1DC, followed by
your repeats of 2 FPDC & BPDC. Trn.
8. Measure and note the width of your Ripple Edge Band.
Torso:
9. Row 1. Ch3. DC1 into the next stitch. *Ch2, skip 2DC of
the previous row, DC2, Ch2, skip 2DC*. Repeat the pattern
of 2 DC & 2 Ch between the * to the end of the row and
make the last stitch a DC. You now have one row of mesh.
Trn.
17. Row 2. Ch3. DC into the next stitch and each stitch
around. SS into the top chain of the Ch3 that started the
row. Do not turn. Ch3.
If you want a wider band here as part of the design then
make another row of DC, otherwise continue to step 18.
18. Row 3. DC1 into the next stitch. *Ch2, skip 2DC of the
previous row, DC2, Ch2, skip 2DC*. Repeat the pattern of
2 DC & 2 Ch between the * to the end of the row and make
the last 2 stitches are the Ch2. SS into the top chain of
the Ch3 that started the row. You now have one row of
mesh. Do not turn.
19. Row 4. Ch3. Repeat Sleeve Row 3. You now have 2 rows of
mesh following your row/s of DC.
20. Rows 5+. Repeat Sleeve Rows 2 to 4 until the sleeve is
the length you like it (keep trying on the shrug).
21. End the sleeve either with the 2nd repeat row of mesh, or
by finishing that with a row of SC or by ending the
sleeve at the row of DC its up to you! Fasten off.
Weave in the yarn end.
22. Sleeve 2. Using the long tail of yarn from your
Foundation, join the Ripple Edge Band exactly the same as
you did for the first sleeve, in Step 15. Joining Up.
23. Join in a new yarn. Repeat Step 16. making sure you have
the same number of stitches as you made for your first
sleeve. Try and trap the yarn end of the new yarn into
the row of SC.
24. Repeat Steps 17 to 21, as for the first sleeve.
FINISHED!
