Wowsa! This scarf is stunning! I've always liked the ripple/wave effect but it has intimidate me. I'm glad this pattern is designated "easy" because it encourages me to try it. Unfortunately this yarn has been discontinued but there are several substitutes for it! I love the way they pulled it together with the button...sparked an idea to use a family heirloom there!!!

This is a perfect size for a scarf. The pattern is a repeat of 2 rows and the is only one special stitch that needs to be made and it is a fairly basic stitch. This shouldnt take a whole lot of time to complete depending on the size of yarn you use on your project and how fast you crochet.

I like this scarf, but I'm having such a problem with it. I got the first row but don't have enough stitches to complete the 2nd row. sure wish there was a video of it.

Hi twelvepaws, I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with this pattern! This is a Red Heart pattern, and I've checked their site to see if they've issued any corrections, but it doesn't look like they have.My suggestion would be to post on our Facebook wall to see if any of our community of crocheters can help, or you can go directly to Red Heart customer support, I'm sure they have a crochet expert on hand to help with pattern questions! Thank you, Julia, editor for AllFreeCrochet

The pattern does work out just as shown. Make sure you are doing the 2 decreases and 2 increases on each row as specified. Get the base row correct and then all rows after that just fall into place.

Turn 2 ripples means....at the end of the row you turn your work to begin the next row....2 ripples means that you should have 2 ripples on the row you just made. 2DC means that you work 2DC into the top of the CH3 which is essentially an increase stitch.

Make sure you count your stitches. The ripple stitch can be tricky. If you have a photo also I can look at it for you.

With any pattern, but more especially where there are constant increases/decreases - ie 'feather 'n' fan', 'ripple' or 'wave' - you need to double-check your stitch numbers at the end of every row. Hope you can manage to have another go at it.
