BASIC RIPPLE PATTERN

BEEN ASKED ABOUT THE WRIST WARMERS AND SLIPPER/SOCKS

CHAIN BASE 24 chain stitches in a ring to start you need multiples of 12 for this ripple

4chain for the 4 treble then one chain for the increase then 4 chain for the trebles then

3 chain for the decrease = 12 to make a ripple pattern

1ST ROW: Chain 3 as the 1st treble then do 3 more trebles in next 3 base chain

increase do 3 treble into the next chain stitch making a peek then 4 more trebles into the next 4 base chain

then half a treble into the next 3 stitches retaining the loops on the hook then hook the wool through all of the loops to make a vally

repeat to complete the 1st row

change colour if doing stripes and repeat the 1st row until you've done as many rows as you need to fit your wrist or foot

l did about 14 rows for the wrist warmer and 14 rows but a bigger hook for the slipper/sock for my size 4 shoe (6mm hook) and 16 rows and a bigger hook(7mm) again for OH slipper/socks at size 9 shoe

Hope that helps Debbie?

BASIC INCREASE DECREASE RIPPLE

BEEN ASKED ABOUT THE WRIST WARMERS AND SLIPPER/SOCKS

24 chain stitches in a ring to start you need multiples of 12 for this ripple

slip stitch the ring of chain together

3 chain makes the 1st treble (USA Double)

then do

USA/UK CROCHET STITCHES

Hi Debbie....in answer to your question l agree having two different names for the same stitches is soooooooooo confusing

A Treble for me is: loop (chain) on the hook already then wool over to make a second loop then through the stitch below hook wool through making 3 loops on hook then hook wool and through 2 loops then hook the wool and through 2 loops...that's my Treble!

But looking l think that's your Double?...

The yarns l've used for the sock/slippers is about equivalent to USA worsted so l'm told but l use anything to hand and double/treble up on strands and always do a small sample to find out how many stitches to the inch anyway

The wrist warmers and sock/slippers are exactly the same pattern really it's just the slippers have a sewn up toe and the wrist warmers have a finger loop

Used the same weight of yarn but changed the size of hook to make the slipper/socks bigger and they fit my OH and he has size 9's

TRIANGLE THAT GREW...

Got lots done today and even found time to make a new bag with a loopy flower

EDIT: bag measurements

The strap is 14" long x 3.5" wide

The base triangle is bout 9.5"

The flat bag is 13.5" wide and the sides are 10" long

I did the triangle in about an hour the night before

Then when Loose Women started on TV at 12.30 l started the sides, strap and made the flower which is 4" in diameter and finished at about 9ish last night

Used double strand DK and a 6mm hook
