SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
SIZE:
About 33 x 36 in. (84 x 91.5 cm)
GAUGE:
2 ripples = about 5 1/2 in. (14 cm), measured from peak to peak.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
DIRECTIONS:
NOTES:
Afghan is worked in a ripple crochet pattern. The ripple pattern is easy to do, but it's important to remember that you may need to work several rows before the ripple pattern becomes clear.
The ripple pattern consists of alternating 3-st “peaks” and skipped st “valleys”. Take care to keep the peaks and valleys of each row aligned. 3 sts are worked into the center st of peaks and sts are skipped over valleys.
When working in ripple crochet, your piece may not lie flat until you’ve worked a few rows.
To change yarn color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete the st. Fasten off old color. Proceed with new color.
STRIPE SEQUENCE:
Work 15 rows each with A, B, C, D and E.
AFGHAN:
With A, ch 161.
Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook (3 skipped ch counts as dc), dc in next 5 ch, *sk 2 ch, dc in next 5 ch, 3 dc into next ch, dc in next 5 ch; rep from * to last 9 ch, sk 2 ch, dc in next 7 ch – you will have 12 ripples at the end of this row.
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in first dc, dc in next 5 dc, *sk 2 dc, dc in next 5 dc, 3 dc in next dc, dc in next 5 dc; rep from * to last 8 dc, sk 2 dc, dc in next 5 dc, 2 dc in top of beg ch.
Rows 3-15: Rep Row 2. Change to B in last st of Row 15.
Rep Row 2, changing yarn color every 15 rows following Stripe Sequence, until all 75 rows of Stripe Sequence have been completed.
Fasten off.
FINISHING:
Weave in ends.

dc = double crochet
