• Gauge: 12 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in ripple pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your Cozy Ripple Wave Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain that is a multiple of 14 plus 2. For example, if you want a blanket width of approximately 36 inches, you might chain 100 (which is 14 x 7 + 2).
2. Row 1:
   1. In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   2. Continue making dc in the next 5 chains.
   3. Now, you will create the ripple effect: *Make 3 dc in the next chain, then dc in the next 6 chains, skip 2 chains, and dc in the next 6 chains; repeat from * across the row.
   4. At the end of the row, make 2 dc in the last chain. Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   1. Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   2. Make a dc in the first dc of the previous row and in the next 5 dc.
   3. Repeat the ripple pattern: *Make 3 dc in the next dc, then dc in the next 6 dc, skip 2 dc, and dc in the next 6 dc; repeat from * across the row.
   4. At the end of the row, make 2 dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. This will create the beautiful wave texture.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, finish off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Your Cozy Ripple Wave Blanket is now complete! Enjoy the warmth and beauty it brings to your home, perfect for snuggling on a chilly evening.
