\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is an old standard lace pattern that I have convered to a ripple. The sample is made in worsted weight cotton, but it would work well with most yarn weights and styles.<\/p>\n

Size:<\/strong>
\nSample is a 34 by 39 inch throw in worsted weight\u00a0cotton yarn, but pattern can be easily adjusted to make any sized blanket.<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/strong>
\nFor 34 by 39 inch throw,\u00a0624 grams\/22 ounces\/1,050 yards worsted weight yarn
\nSize\u00a0H (5.0 mm) crochet hook<\/p>\n

Abbreviations:<\/strong>
\nch = chain
\nch sp = chain space
\ndc = double crochet
\nsl st = slip stitch
\n** = indicates section to repeat<\/p>\n

Special stitches:<\/strong>
\nShell – 5 dc in stitch or chain space indicated
\nV-stitch – 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc in stitch or chain space indicated<\/p>\n

The beginning chain should be a multiple of 32 plus 25.<\/p>\n

For 34″ width\u00a0started with chain of 153. (For 41″ width start with chain of 185). (For 48″ width start with chain of 217).<\/p>\n

After the first row, I recommend stitiching through both the front and back loops of the preceding row.<\/p>\n

Row 1: Dc in 5th ch from hook (first 4 ch count as dc and ch), skip 3 ch, shell in next ch, skip 3 ch, v-stitch in next ch, skip 1 ch, shell in next chain, skip 1 ch, v-stitch in next chain, skip 3 ch, shell in next ch, skip 3 ch, v-stitch in next chain. ** Skip 5 ch, shell in next chain, skip 5 chains, v-stitch in next chain, skip 3 ch, shell in next ch, skip 3 ch, v-stitch in next ch, skip 1 ch, shell in next chain, skip 1 ch, v-stitch in next chain, skip 3 ch, shell in next ch, skip 3 ch, v-stitch in next chain. ** Repeat across to end. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 2: Ch1, sl st in dc, sl st in ch1 sp, ch3 (count as dc), 2dc in same ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 2nd dc of next shell, v-stitch in 4th dc of same shell, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell. ** Shell in next ch1 sp, skip shell, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 2nd dc of next shell,\u00a0 v-stitch in 4th dc of same shell, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell ** repeat across to last ch1 sp, 3dc in next ch1 sp. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 3: Ch1, sl st each of next 4 dc, sl st in ch1 sp, ch3 (count as dc), 2dc in same ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in space between two v-stitches, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell. ** Shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in space between two shells, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in space between two v-stitches, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell ** repeat across to last ch1 sp and 3dc, 3dc in next ch1 sp. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 4: Ch4 (counts at dc and ch), dc in first dc (forms first v-stitch), shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in space between shell and v-stitch, shell in space between v-stitch and shell, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in next ch1 sp. ** V-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, skip ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in space between shell and v-stitch, shell in space between v-stitch and shell, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in next ch1 sp ** repeat across to last 3dc, v-stitch in top of turning chain. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 5: Ch1, sl st in dc, sl st in ch, sl st in each of next 4 dc (see note about color changes), ch4 (counts as dc and ch1), dc in same dc (completes a v-stitch), shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in space between shells, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in next ch1 sp. ** V-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in space between v-stitches, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in next ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in space between shells, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell, shell in next ch1 sp. ** Repeat across to last shell and ch1 sp, v-stitch in 3rd dc of next shell. Turn.<\/p>\n

Repeat rows 2 through 5 until blanket is desired length.\u00a0 End with a row 4. Finish off and weave in end.<\/p>\n

Note about color changes:<\/strong>
\nThe blanket can be made in a solid color or can be made with any number of color changes.\u00a0For this blanket I recommend making color changes at the beginning of row 5\u00a0before the last slip stitch.\u00a0Cut yarn with a few inches of tail and join with new color next to stitch. Pull new color through to complete the last slip stitch. Weave in ends.<\/p>\n
