Welcome back to My Crafts Ideas! Today, we’re diving into a unique and eye-catching crochet pattern: the Spiked Ripple. This pattern combines the classic ripple design with dynamic spike stitches, creating a beautiful texture that adds a modern twist to your crochet projects. Whether you’re making a cozy blanket, a stylish scarf, or a decorative pillow, the spiked ripple pattern is sure to impress.
The spiked ripple pattern is a variation of the traditional chevron or ripple stitch. It incorporates elongated stitches—spikes—that dip down into rows below the working row. These spikes break up the regularity of the zigzag pattern, adding a visually interesting element and a bit of texture to your work.
