Crochet Ocean Wave Applique

I posted my ocean wave applique pic on my beach bag post. The only thing I could find online was a cross stitch chart for similar waves. So I'm posting the pattern in hopes that someone else will find a use for it or the technique.

First you should understand how to make foundation stitchs. Not chains, fdsc (foundation single crochet), fddc, and fdtrp. Same concept really but if the ideal confuses you it would be best if you found a video on foundation stitches to explain. Next an extended stitch is an added ch before the last pull through 2 in made.

Exp. ext sc: insert hook into stitch, yo, pull up a loop...pause. last two loops on hook. yo pull through 1 loop (or chain 1) yo pull though 2 remaining loops on hook. It worked the same for dc or trp

Last item is the magic circle. There are videos on that too.

Large exp. G hook, worsted weight yarn   3 1/4"h x 3 3/4"w
Small exp. 2.00mm steel hook, 10 strand emb floss  1/3/4"h x 1 5/8"w

Magic Circle
3sc, 1 dc in circle
ch1, fdhdc (tighten circle), fdsc, ch1, fdextsc, fdextsc, ch1, fddc, fddc, fddc using same base stitch as previous st (omit found loop-like dc twice in same stitch), ch1, fddc, fdextdc, fdtrp, fdtrp, fdexttrp

row1: 5 sc spaced evenly across end of last fdexttrp, ch1, turn (5)
row2: 2 sc in first st, sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in last st , ch 2, turn (7)
row3: 2 sc in first st, sc in next 5 st, 2 sc in last st, ch2, turn, slst in first st. FO (9 +slst)
