\"MandWripple2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This updated ripple afghan really showcases color. It gets its name from the M\u2019s and W\u2019s you see in the ripples from a distance.<\/p>\n

The example is made in DK weight cotton\/silk yarn, but can be made with most yarn weights.<\/p>\n

Size: <\/strong>
\nThis blanket can be made any size. Five widths are given in the directions.<\/p>\n

[grid width=”600″ cols=”100,*,100,*,*”] Size|Width (Inches)|Length (Inches)|Ounces of yarn|Yards of yarn~ Extra Small|30.29|40.38|19.69|1294.38~ Small|42|56|37.86|2488.89~ Medium|53.71|71.62|61.92|4070.45~ Large|65.42|87.23|91.87|6039.05~ Extra Large|77.13|102.85|127.7|8394.71~[\/grid]<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/strong>
\nDK weight yarn (see chart for amount)
\nSize H (5mm) crochet hook <\/p>\n

Abbreviations:<\/strong>
\nch = chain
\ndc = double crochet<\/p>\n

Special stitch:<\/strong>
\ndc5tog \u2013 double crochet 5 stitches together (uses five stitches, decreases by four stitches) \u2013 [Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops] 5 times (6 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through all loops on hook.<\/p>\n

The beginning chain should be a multiple of 58 plus 34.<\/p>\n

For these widths, start with this number of chains:
\n30.25″ = 150
\n42″ = 208
\n53.75″ = 266
\n65.5″ = 324
\n77.25″ = 382<\/p>\n

There is also a chart<\/a> available.<\/p>\n

Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in next 7 ch, 5 dc in next ch, dc in next 4 ch, dc5tog (uses next 5 ch), dc in next 4 ch, ** 5 dc in next ch, dc in next 12 ch, dc5tog (uses next 5 ch), dc in next 4 ch, 5 dc in next ch, dc in next 4 ch, dc5tog (uses next 5 ch), dc in next 12 ch, 5 dc in next ch, dc in next 4 ch, dc5tog (uses next 5 ch), dc in next 4 ch. Repeat from ** to last 9 ch. 5 dc in next ch, dc in next 8 ch. <\/p>\n

Row 2: Ch 3, turn. Dc in 2nd dc, dc in next 8 dc, 5 dc in next dc, dc in next 4 dc, dc5tog (uses 2 dc, dc5tog, 2 dc), dc in next 4 dc, ** 5 dc in next dc, dc in next 12 dc, dc5tog (uses 2 dc, dc5tog, 2 dc), dc in next 4 dc, 5 dc in next dc, dc in next 4 dc, dc5tog (uses 2 dc, dc5tog, 2 dc), dc in next 12 dc, 5 dc in next dc, dc in next 4 dc, dc5tog (uses 2 dc, dc5tog, 2 dc), dc in next 4 dc. Repeat from ** to last 12 dc and turning chain. 5 dc in next dc, dc in next 8 dc.<\/p>\n

Repeat row 2 until afghan is desired length. Finish off and weave in end.<\/p>\n

The blanket can be made in a solid color or can be made with any number of color changes. The best way to make a color change is to finish all but the very last pull through of the two loops of the last stitch of a row. Cut yarn with a few inches of tail and join with new color next to stitch. Pull new color through last two loops. Weave in ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
