Materials:

worsted weight acrylic scraps, such as Red Heart Super Saver, Lion Brand

Woolease, Caron’s One Pound, etc, & a size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook. You will need

approximately 1-3 pounds of yarn total, and 22-50 yards (12-24 grams) are needed per 3 row

repeat.

Abbreviations (pattern uses US terms):

ch: chain

sk: skip

rep: repeat

blo: back loops only

sc: single crochet

dc: double crochet

Gauge:

one pattern repeat=3.5”, 15 stitches=3.5”

Measurements:

baby (21” across), toddler / lapghan (31.5” across), small throw (38.5”

across), and large throw (56” across)

Pattern Notes:

If you’ve never made a ripple project before, you should be aware of how ripples are formed in
crochet. You make increases at the top of the ripple, so in turn, you need to skip stitches to
make up for those increases & thus keep the stitch count. You are going to be working rows of
single crochet & double crochet

– but no matter what stitch you are crocheting you will always

be skipping a stitch to make up for every increase.

Work in blo (back loops only) throughout afghan.
