Crochet Ripple

[LostnFound]

Does anyone have a good ripple pattern? We just moved and I can't find any of my pattern stuff. I know the Ripple is very simple, but I don't remember how many to chain, or how to start the ripple.

This patterns is for a Ripple Carriage or Crib cover...and that seems small, but the larger one makes up like an afghan...you just make it as long as you want...I chain the 238 size for an afghan and the 170 for a baby afghan...


Crochet Hook size G...

chain 170 (238)

Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in each of next 6 ch, *3 sc in next ch, 1 sc in each of 7 ch, skip 2 ch, 1 sc in each of next 7 ch; repeat from *, end last repeat 1 sc in each of 6 ch, skip 1 ch, 1 sc in last ch.

Row 2: Turn, skip first st, *1 sc in back of loop of each 7 sts, 3 sc in back loop of next st, 1 sc in back loop of each of next 7 sts, skip 2 sts; repeat from *, end last repeat 1 sc in back loop of each of 6 sts, skip 1 st, 1 sc in back loop of last st.

This is the basic pattern...hope it helps...

I love doing ripple afghans. It is the only pattern I can do while watching TV, and not get lost!

I also love doing the ripple I just learned to the granny ripple. A friend of mine tried to teach me but I didn't understand how to get started so I gave up then later I went to Wal-mart and saw a pattern so I bought it and tried it so now I love this too.

I have a beautiful pattern that has large squares, and uses popcorn stitches throughout. It's my favorite of all. I also have done ripples and grannies.

popcorn stitch, seen it but havnt given it a go yet. It is an interesting effect, would be a thicker blanket.

I love to make ripples. The more colorful the better.

I've only made one or two ripple afghans, a baby one is the only one I can think of. It was fun, but took a while, as it was a bit fancy patterned, not the normal simple ripple.

My favorite afghan at home is one one of my Grandma's made and it's a ripple. It's so warm and yummy. It's had to be mended with other yarn over the years, as it is at least as old as I am, if not older.
