Colorful Ripple Blanket

Materials:

Yarn: Worsted weight yarn (4) in the following colors: white, burgundy, teal, and mustard. Approximately 1200 yards total (300 yards of each color).

Hook: Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook.

Scissors for cutting the yarn.

Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.

Gauge:

16 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in ripple pattern. To measure gauge, make a small swatch of your ripple pattern until it reaches 4 inches in width and 4 inches in height. Adjust hook size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge.

Abbreviations:

ch = chain

sc = single crochet

dc = double crochet

st = stitch

sl st = slip stitch

rep = repeat

Instructions:

1. Foundation Row: With white yarn, chain 118. This will create the base for your blanket.

2. Row 1: Starting in the 4th chain from the hook, make 1 double crochet (dc) in each of the next 2 chains, then make a 6 dc cluster in the next chain.

     Make 1 double crochet in the next 2 chains, skip 2 chains, and then repeat the pattern until the end of the row. Finish with 1 double crochet in the last chain.

3. Row 2: Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), turn. In the next 2 stitches, make 1 double crochet in each.

     Make a 6 dc cluster in the top of the cluster from the previous row.

     Continue this pattern across the row, and finish with a double crochet in the last stitch.

4. Row 3: Change to burgundy yarn and repeat the pattern as in Row 2.

5. Row 4: Change to teal yarn and repeat the pattern as in Row 2.

6. Row 5: Change to mustard yarn and repeat the pattern as in Row 2.

7. Continue the pattern: Repeat Rows 2-5 until your blanket reaches the desired length, ideally around 60 inches. Note: This will take around 36 rows total, alternating yarn colors as specified.

8. Finishing: Fasten off your last yarn color. Weave in all ends using your tapestry needle.

9. Blocking: Gently block your blanket by spraying lightly with water and laying it flat to dry. This helps set the stitches evenly.

Optional Variations:

Try adding fringe to the edges for a fun touch.

Use different colors to match your home decor or to create a personalized gift.
