This Modern Ripple has been a challenge. It started as  remake of a popular style blanket and then took on a life of its own. The ripple stripes were so much fun to create and the striping pattern so unexpected. I love it’s unexpected stripes. The colors were also a bit off the beaten track of what I normally create with. Originally, I crocheted a good third of it and then (frogged) took it apart it back to the first 10 rows and started over with different color combinations. Here it is!
The lovely fold over binding that kept me from having to weave in all those yarn ends and keeps it nice and neat.
It is 50″ x 60″ long measured from a peak on one end to a valley on the other. The stripes go side to side. Â It ends and begins with a deep dark navy that looks almost black. This blanket is for sale in the shop, ready to take ship. I am also creating the pattern and it will be available via Craftsy, Zibbet and Etsy. This is an easy pattern to crochet, there are just so many color changes that you need to be comfortable changing colors and weaving in ends.
Talk to you later,
Karen
