~ a crooked ripple ~

~ this picture shows how the pattern is written ~




Materials:
- 4-ply worsted weight acrylic (I'm using Red Heart Super Saver)
- J hook

Size:  the pattern for this blanket is written for it to be 40" wide - The length of the blanket depends on how long you would want 
your blanket to be - just keep crocheting until you have it as long as
 you want it. The way I have the blanket pictured above, it 
measures 23" wide x 40" tall. :)

Directions:
Row 1:  Ch 158, dc in the 4th ch from hook.  Dc in next 5 chs.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch.  Dc in next 7 chs.  Skip next 2 chs.  Dc in next 11 chs.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch.  Dc in next 11 chs.  Skip next 2 chs.  Dc in next 20 chs.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch.  Dc in next 20 chs.  Skip next 2 chs.  Dc in next 7 chs.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch.  Dc in next 7 chs.  Skip next 2 chs.  Dc in next 7 chs.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch.  Dc in next 7 chs.  Skip next 2 chs.  Dc in next 18 chs.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch.  Dc in next 18 chs.  Turn.

Row 2:  Sl st into next dc, ch 3.  Dc in next 17 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 18 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 7 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 7 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 7 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 7 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 20 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 20 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 11 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 11 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 7 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 7 dc.  Turn.

Row 3:  Sl st into next dc, ch 3.  Dc in next 6 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 7 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 11 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 11 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 20 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 20 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 7 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 7 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 7 dc.  (dc, sh 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 7 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 18 dc.  (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 space.  Dc in next 18 dc.  Turn.

Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until desired length.

    Interesting! I am curious how it looks when it gets bigger. I started a ordinary ripple on friday and I'm enjoying every row of it. Mine is 63 inch wide.

    Thank you ladies. :)

    BumbleBri - I saw a chart on the news about some company's earnings. The line went up and down like a ripple, but not even. I thought it would be interesting to try it in crochet. :)

    I've never done a regular ripple but have a feeling that without even trying, mine would come out crooked. Ha! You are always coming up with something new. Have fun. Best wishes, Tammy

    I love it, but wonder how is it staying flat and not rippling all up? As much as I crochet and I still haven't grasped the math concept of it. And I've always been good in math. :o(

    Thanks ladies. :)

    Hookin It With Mr. Lick Lick - it doesn't ripple because there is the same number of dc's in each row. By skipping the 2 dc's at the low points, it cancels out the 2 dc's that are added at the high points, so we are left with the same number of dc's on the straight sides.

    I made this type of afghan years ago and lost the pattern; so happy to find it again. I still have it and it's still very pretty.

    I've been crocheting for forty years, and ripples are one of my favorite afghan patterns. With two coworkers about to have babies this spring, this will be a fun one to use for the little ones soon to be born. This will be fun to work on!

    Hi Debi,
    This is the first time I have ever been to your website for some reason. I browse all the time, and found you through "All Free Crochet". (And so happy to have found you) {:0)
    I do have a question for you though, and that is, if the width is 40 inches, what would the finished length be?
    Thank you so much for sharing your brilliant Crooked Ripple. I love it. {:0)

    Love this but would want it bigger. Do you have instructions for making it about 65x75? Just need to know multiples of clusters. Awesome pattern

      Hi - to make the crooked ripple wider, just add extra chains. The ripple points are different sizes so you can add however many you need. And of course, to make it longer, just keep crocheting until you get the length you need. :)

      I'm not sure why you're getting 6 instead of 7, but it's ok - you don't have to have the 7 dc, just keep it at 6 dc. It's a crooked ripple so it's not really necessary. :)

      ***not really necessary to have the same amount of dc's.
