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.
