I was inspired by the color pattern of two blankets-- one on Etsy and one on the Rainbow blog. Both involved varying the thickness of the stripes, which I thought was a pretty cool look.
I followed the Crochet Crowd's video tutorial for the wave/ripple stitch as I have for past projects, like the Cascading Pink Ripple Stitch Baby Blanket.
I used a size H crochet hook and the following yarns:
- Red Heart Super Saver, Aran (beige), 744 yards
- Red Heart with Love, Mango, 370 yards
- Red Heart with Love, Berry Red, 370 yards
The color pattern was as follows: beige, mango, beige, mango, beige, berry, berry... and repeat.
To finish, I edged the blanket in beige. This involved creating half double crochet stitches along both straight sides, followed by a row of single crochet stitches around the entire blanket. As I did with the Cascading Pink Ripple Stitch Baby Blanket, I started the final row in the nook of a ripple to help hide it better.
This blanket turned out really cute and measures 45 inches by 36 inches-- a great size for a toddler.
I hope this gives you some inspiration... Happy hooking!
