I finished the other two blankets I’ve been working on … although technically I guess they aren’t done since I haven’t woven the ends in yet but I needed to get another one started so tonight after my date night with Keith I got a Ripple going. I always think of my Aunts when I make a ripple since they crocheted many of them.
I stick to 3 different Ripple patterns.
This one is a simple one … found free on Ravelry at this link.
I’ve only done a few rows so far but I like using the Caron Big Cakes for this one.
Another favorite is the Rumpled Ripple – also found free on Ravelry at this link.
I like using the Lion Brand Mandala yarn for these.
And last but not least is the Woodland Ripple found free on Ravelry at this link.
I’ve only made this one with Caron Big Cakes but one of these days I’m going to try it with the Mandala yarn.
I only crochet easy blankets but I think they turn out pretty for most part and I love the idea of someone in need wrapping up in them and finding some warmth and comfort.
Love love the ripples. I have made one a million years ago. It wasn’t that big and it finally got used as a baby quilt. It was fun. Not sure why I stopped? Kids quilting? You have so much energy. Your ripples are beautiful
My mother in law made couple for us and they are loved for the memories.
They are all beautiful and will be loved!
I love your ripple blankets, all three patterns are very nice. Once upon a time many years ago, I tried to make a ripple Afghan. I have no clue what happened, but I pulled that yarn out over and over again and finally just gave up. I had four kids at that time, who were under the age of 12, and I think they bothered my concentration. I’ve never had a desire to make a ripple again.
I always think of my mom when I see the Ripple. She made lots and lots. I still have several. That top one made me think of a sunset. All are so pretty.
Attic 24 is a great site, she has a facebook page also. She has tons of patterns and tutorials, all free. Coastal Ripple is my favorite of hers.
