Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in shades of blue and white
• Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches in ripple stitch pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Row

Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 144 stitches. This will create the foundation for your blanket.

2. Row 1

In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, dc in the next 3 chains. Now, you will create the ripple effect:

• * Skip 2 chains, then dc in the next 4 chains.
• Chain 2, then dc in the next 4 chains.
• Repeat from * across the row until you reach the end.

Once you reach the end, turn your work to start the next row.

3. Row 2

Start this row by chaining 3 (this counts as your first dc). Then, dc in the next 3 dc from the previous row. Again, create the ripple effect:

• * Skip 2 dc, then dc in the next 4 dc.
• Chain 2, then dc in the next 4 dc.
• Repeat from * across the row until you reach the end.

Once you reach the end, turn your work to start the next row.

4. Repeat Rows

Continue to repeat Row 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. Keep in mind that the more rows you add, the larger your blanket will become. Feel free to adjust the length based on your personal preference!

5. Finishing Touches

When your blanket is the desired length, finish off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends, ensuring a neat and polished look.
