This blanket has a twist on the traditional ripple blanket. It can be made in a solid color, a variegated yarn, or any number of colors. \u00a0It can also be made with most yarn weights or even using two strands for a quick and thick throw.<\/p>\n

The example in the photos was made with a size H (5mm) crochet hook and Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn. Color A is Bubble Gum and Color B is Pastel Pink. Color bands are 5 rows tall, and the color A is used for first five rows and last five rows.<\/p>\n

ch – chain
\ndc – double crochet
\ncdc – crossed double crochet – \u00a0skip a stitch, dc in next stitch, yo, go behind that dc, insert needle through front loop of skipped stitch and then complete a dc
\ninc-cdc – increase crossed double crochet – \u00a0dc in next stitch, yo, go behind that dc, insert needle through front loop of last stitch (which already has a cdc in it) and then complete a dc
\ndec-cdc – decrease crossed double crochet – skip two stitches, dc in next stitch, yo, go behind that dc, insert needle in front loop of first skipped stitch and then complete a dc<\/p>\n

Pattern:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chain a multiple of 18 plus 5 chain stitches. Chain the following number of stitches for these sizes:<\/p>\n

29″ = 131
\n33″ = 149
\n37″ = 167
\n41″ = 185
\n45″ = 203<\/p>\n

Row 1:<\/strong> The first four chain stitches count as a double crochet in a stitch. \u00a0Dc in the 7th stitch from hook. \u00a0Yo, go behind that dc, insert needle in chain that is two before the chain with the dc and complete a dc (this is a dec-cdc). Work another dec-cdc. \u00a0* Going across the chain, make one cdc, four inc-cdc, and four dec-cdc. * Repeat between the * across the row to last 13 chains. Make one cdc, four inc-cdc, two dec-cdc and one dc.<\/p>\n

Row 2:<\/strong> Chain 3 and turn (counts as a dc). Dc in the 4th stitch. \u00a0Yo, go behind that dc, insert needle in front loop of second stitch and complete a dc (this is a dec-cdc). Work another dec-cdc. \u00a0* Going across the chain, make one cdc, four inc-cdc, and four dec-cdc. * Repeat between the * across the row to last 13 stitches. Make one cdc, four inc-cdc, two dec-cdc and one dc which will be in the turning chain of the previous row.<\/p>\n

Repeat row 2 until blanket is desired length and finish off. Weave in ends.<\/p>\n

If seeing a chart of this would be helpful, I have a chart of two rows of one repeat here<\/a>. There is also a tutorial video available here<\/a>. <\/p>\n
