Hi Cindy:
CM> stitch I know is the double-stitch.  I would love to learn something 
beside
CM> that, so I can do more than one thing.
I don't know exactly how the ripple stitch is done, because I don't have a 
pattern here that tells how to do it.  But I can tell you something about 
crocheting that is really neat!
You say you know how to do the double-crochet, and I assume that you know how 
to chain, because I believe you have to chain before you can double crochet 
into it.  Well, you really do know more than you know.  You know how you 
have your loop on your hook when you finish your stitch, and how you put the
yarn over your hook once and then go through the stitch under, and then work 
it off two at a time?  Well, a single crochet is when you don't put the yarn
over your hook before going through the stitch underneath.  A half-double
crochet is when you do put the yarn over the hook once and then you work all 
three off at the same time by pulling the yarn through all three at once.  
ou
know the double crochet stitch.  Well the triple crochet stitch is when you 
put the yarn over the hook twice and then work them off two at a time.  It is 
just a bit taller than a double crochet.  You can do any pattern in 
crocheting with these stitches, or variations of them.
