Half Double Crochet Waves

Materials Needed

  • I’ve used Caron Simply Soft. I don’t have a yarn quantity for you as The Stitch is Right Game has multiple types of stitches that each use a different quantity of yarn.
  • Size 5 mm or H Hook

To make it easier, all 8 Stitch is Right Waves have the same starting if starting from scratch. Once you get past Row 1, the 8 different designs can be started.

Stitch Multiples

Stitch Multiples for This Crochet Wave Design
Stitch Multiples for This Crochet Wave Design. Each chevron = 28 sts. Side edges need 18 to keep the project balanced. Therefore; stitch multiple is 28 + 18 chains.

Project Sizes

  • Custom Size Multiples of 28 + 18. Each Chevron is 28 sts and 18 sts for the sides.
  • Scarves Ch 46 – 1 Chevron + Sides = 10″ Wide and Typically 70″ long for adults.
  • Receiving Blanket Ch 130 – 4 Chevrons + Sides = 28″ Wide and Typically Square.
  • Large Cradle Ch 102 – 3 Chevrons + Sides = 22″ Wide x 33″ Long.
  • Baby Blanket Ch 186 – 6 Chevrons + Sides = 40″ Wide and Typically Square.
  • Children Blanket Ch 214 – 7 Chevrons + Sides = 46″ Wide and Typically Square.
  • Teenagers Blanket Ch 242 – 8 Chevrons + Sides = 52″ Wide by 60″ Long.
  • Throw Afghan Ch 298 – 10 Chevrons + Sides = 64″ Wide by 70″ Long.
  • Lapghans & Wheel Chairs Ch 186 – 6 Chevrons + Sides = 40″ Wide and Length of Legs.

Project Sizes for Mattress WITH Drape Hanging Over Mattress

  • Crib Ch 214 – 7 Chevrons + Sides = 46″ wide x 75″ long.
  • Twin Ch 354 – 12 Chevrons + Sides = 76″ wide x 90″ long.
  • Full / Double Ch 410  – 14 Chevrons + Sides = 88″ wide x 90″ long.
  • Queen Ch 438 – 15 Chevrons + Sides = 94″ wide x 95″ long.
  • King Ch 522 – 18 Chevrons + Sides = 112″ Wide x 95″ long.

Mattress Sizes WITHOUT drape that Hangs over Mattress

The starting chain is significantly less when there is no draping.

  • Crib Ch 158 – 5 Chevrons + Sides = 34″ wide x 54″ long.
  • Twin Ch 214 – 7 Chevrons + Sides = 39″ wide x 75″ long.
  • Full / Double Ch 270  – 9 Chevrons + Sides = 54″ wide x 75″ long.
  • Queen Ch 298 – 10 Chevrons + Sides = 64″ wide x 80″ long.
  • King Ch 354 – 12 Chevrons + Sides = 76″ Wide x 80″ long.

Starting Instructions – If Starting From Scratch

Either choose a project size above or use a customized calculation for your starting chain counts.

  1. Chain the desired width that is listed above.
  2. Dc 4th chain from hook (Chain and dc counts as 2 dc in the same stitch), 1 dc in each next 5 ch. *Dc3tog using the next three chains (bottom of chevron). 1 dc in each of the next 12 chains. 3 dc in the next chain (top of chevron). 1 dc in each of next 12 chains. Repeat from * across until the last 9 chains remain. The final ending of row is dc3tog using the next three chains. 1 dc in each of the next 5. 2 dc in the final chain.
  3. Mark this side as your right side with a stitch marker. You will need to keep an eye on this stitch marker as some of the stitches used in The Stitch is Right to have characteristics where it matters which side you start the pattern on.
  4. You may need to fasten on a new colour and pay attention to the right side and wrong side.

From this point, the below stitching instruction plus 7 others that are part of The Stitch is Right is ready to be built onto this point.

Half Double Crochet Wave – Stitch 2 on The Stitch is Right

The Stitch is Right, there are two rows for each repeat. They are both the same instruction.

  1. Turn to the right side and fasten onto the first sc. ch 2 (counts as hdc), 1 hdc into the same stitch. 1 hdc in each next 5 st. *hdc3tog using the next three stitches (bottom of chevron). 1 hdc in each of the next 12 stitches. 3 hdc in the next chain (top of chevron). 1 hdc in each of next 12 stitches. Repeat from * across until the last 9 stitches remain. The final ending of row is hdc3tog using the next three stitches. 1 hdc in each of the next 5. 2 hdc in the final chain. Turn.
  2. ch 2, 1 hdc into the same stitch. 1 hdc in each next 5 ch. *hdc3tog using the next three stitches (bottom of chevron). 1 hdc in each of the next 12 stitches. 3 hdc in the next chain (top of chevron). 1 hdc in each of next 12 stitches. Repeat from * across until the last 9 stitches remain. The final ending of row is hdc3tog using the next three stitches. 1 hdc in each of the next 5. 2 hdc in the final chain. Turn.

This is the end of the repeat pattern for The Stitch is Right. If you would like to use this concept for entire projects or even make more rows. Just continue to follow step 2.

    in row 2 after the first 12 sts, you have "hdc sc in next chain (top of chevron)" I don't think this is correct. It should be... '3 hdc in next st' ... Yes?
