Stitches and Techniques Used

Primary Stitches

• Single crochet (sc) – the foundational stitch used throughout the pattern, including in the base chain row and throughout the textured stitch sequence
• Half double crochet (hdc) – used within the wave or shell-style stitch repeat to create gradual height transitions
• Double crochet (dc) – worked alongside hdc and treble crochet to build the undulating texture of the pattern
• Treble crochet (tr) – the tallest stitch in the repeat, used to create the peaks of the textured wave design
• 3 treble crochet together (tr3tog) – a decrease stitch that pulls three treble crochets together into a single stitch, creating the valleys in the wave pattern
• Single crochet 3 together (sc3tog) – a three-stitch decrease worked in single crochet, used to shape the fabric and maintain stitch count through the textured rows
