Royal Ridge Stitch Pattern

Foundation Chain:

Make any even-numbered chain (e.g., 20, 22, 24, etc.).

Row 1:

  1. Htr in 2nd ch from hook, htr across. Turn.

Row 2:

  1. Ch 1 (does not count as a st).

  2. Htr in blo of each stitch across. Turn.

Row 3:

  1. Repeat Row 2, always working in the back loop only to create the ridges.

Repeat Row 2 for the desired length.

 

 

Tips for Success

✅ Keep a consistent tension to maintain even ridges.
✅ Use a smooth yarn to highlight the texture.
