Step-by-Step Instructions

Foundation Chain

1. Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 171. This number can be adjusted to a multiple of 14 plus 3 to achieve your desired width.

Row 1

1. In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
2. Continue to make a dc in the next 4 chains.

• dc2tog (double crochet two together) over the next 2 chains.
• dc2tog over the next 2 chains.
• dc in the next 4 chains.
• 2 dc in the next chain.
• 2 dc in the next chain.
4. Continue this pattern across the entire row, ending with a dc in the last chain. Turn your work.

Row 2

1. Start by chaining 3 (this counts as your first dc).
2. Make a dc in the first dc of the previous row.
3. Make a dc in the next 4 dcs.
4. Repeat the ripple pattern as follows:
• dc2tog over the next 2 dcs.
• dc2tog over the next 2 dcs.
• dc in the next 4 dcs.
• 2 dc in the next dc.
• 2 dc in the next dc.
5. Continue this pattern across the row, ending with 2 dc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row. Turn your work.

Repeat Rows

1. Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length.

Finish

1. Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn.
2. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a neat finish.

The finished blanket features a gentle ripple wave pattern with alternating stripes of soft blue, seafoam green, and sandy beige. Each stripe is approximately 4 inches wide, creating a harmonious blend of colors reminiscent of a serene beach landscape. The texture is soft and plush, with a subtle drape that adds to its cozy appeal. The edges are slightly scalloped due to the ripple pattern, enhancing the overall wave-like effect.
