- 4-ply worsted weight acrylic
- J hook
Notes:
- the ch 2 at the beginning of Rnds 1, 2 and 3 do not count as a st
- beginning shell = (ch 3, dc, ch 2, 2 dc)
- shell = (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)
- v-st = (dc, ch 2, dc)
Directions:
Rnd 1: Ch 3, work 12 dc in the 3rd ch from the hook. Join with a sl st to 1st dc. (12 dc)
Rnd 2: Ch 2, 2 dc in same dc as the joining st, 2 dc in each dc around. Join as before. (24 dc)
Rnd 3: Ch 2, 2 dc in same dc as the joining st, dc in next dc. *2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join as before. (36 dc)
Rnd 4: Ch 1, sc in same dc as the joining st, sc in next dc. *ch 2, sc in each of the next 2 dc. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the 1st sc.
Rnd 5: Sl st into next sc, sl st into ch-2 space, work beginning shell in same ch-2 space, v-st in next ch-2 space. *shell in next ch-2 space, v-st in next ch-2 space. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to top of beginning ch 3.
Rnd 6: Sl st into next dc, sl st into ch-2 space of shell, beginning shell in same ch-2 space, shell in next v-st. *shell in next shell, shell in next v-st. Repeat from * around. Join as before.
Rnd 7: Sl st into next dc, ch 3, shell in ch-2 space, dc in next dc, skip next 3 dc, shell in next shell, skip next 3 dc. *dc in next dc, shell in ch-2 space, dc in next dc, skip next 3 dc, shell in next shell, skip next 3 dc. Repeat from * around. Join as before.
Rnd 8: Sl st into next dc, ch 3, dc in next dc, shell in ch-2 space, dc into next 2 dc, skip next 3 dc, shell in next shell, skip next 3 dc. *dc in next 2 dc, shell in ch-2 space, dc in next 2 dc, skip next 3 dc, shell in next shell, skip next 3 dc. Repeat from * around. Join as before.
Repeat Rnd 8 increasing the number of dc by 1 on the sides of the ripple points on each succeeding Rnd. The shell points will remain shells.

Your blanket is pretty. Can't wait to see it finished. Hope you can find your aqua yarn.
ReplyDeleteLove it Debi.
ReplyDeleteDebi~ You are so patient & kind to write out the patterns for us. Thank you very much. The colors are beautiful on this. This is such a wonderful time to crochet, too! Grey, overcast days....leaves blowing around....sitting by the window, crocheting. I dream about this in the heat of July. It's finally here!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern, Debi!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful blanket Debi, thank you for the pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this pattern! I have just the right yarn for this. Hope I get around to making it soon. Mine is going to be in pink and a variegated yarn with candy dots.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day. Love.

It's amazing! I love ripples, they are so satisfying to do! x
ReplyDeleteThank You for the wonderful pattern, Was looking for something for a baby shower when this came to my inbox.Was meant to be! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful pattern - thank you so much, Debi :-) Now how do I add hours to my day so I can crochet more??
ReplyDeletewow I love this! I'm pinning this now so I can remember to make this one day!
ReplyDeleteRound ripple looks so beautifulllll!!! And the gradual change in shades of blue make them extra gorgeous. Thank you so much for another free pattern. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am having trouble with Rnd 7 - do we really skip the v stitch completely to work in the next shell stitch? it pulls awkwardly and I know am doing something wrong. Please help: Sl st into next dc, ch 3, shell in ch-2 space, dc in next dc, skip next 3 dc, shell in next shell, skip next 3 dc. *dc in next dc, shell in ch-2 space, dc in next dc, skip next 3 dc, shell in next shell, skip next 3 dc. Repeat from * around. Join as before.
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa. The 3 stitches that you will skip include the 2 stitches of the shell from the previous round and the 1st dc of the dc points. When you get to the other side of the dc points, you will skip the last dc and the 2 dc of the shell from the previous round. There are no v-sts on the 7th round. You will work a shell in the shell stitches and then in the ch-2 spaces of the dc points, you will work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc).
DeleteThanks Debi ! Very pretty !
ReplyDeleteI know its a while since you posted this, but I have just found it. Beautiful pattern, can you tell me how much yarn it takes please. I am doing 2 rows white, 4 rows blue, 2 white, 4 grey
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie. I'm sorry, but I did not weigh the amount of yarn I used for this blanket. I have no idea why I didn't. Sorry.
DeleteThank you for the pattern ... So much easier to follow then the other I tried to make
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pattern ... So much easier to follow then the other I tried to make
ReplyDeleteI had bulky yarn without a purpose..this tured out to be perfect! This is a wonderful pattern . Thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteHey debi! I'm having trouble on round 6 (sl St into next dc, sl St into ch 2 sp of shell, SHELL IN NEXT VST, etc...) Is the shell in next v St supposed to leave a big gap in the work. I feel like I might be doing something wrong. Tia
ReplyDeleteI think there's a mistake in the pattern - let me check it out and then fix it. Thanks for letting me know. :)
DeleteThank you so much for the quick response! I see the change I'm making a note in my paper now. Thank you once again Debi you're the best! :)
DeleteI love your Rippling Shells blanket. Now I've made this several times and I adore the pattern, but I was wondering how or if it would work to turn this into a 12 pointed star?
ReplyDeleteIt has me beat that I start with 12 dc's then 24 dc's etc (just like a regular 12 point star) but at the finish, I end up with a 9 pointed star and 9 little points in the valleys... Where did the rest of them go lol...? Your pic also shows it as a 9 point star.
I would love to know if this could be made as a full 12 pointed star if possible please. Your brain is much better than mine with the math!
Thank you so much in advance.
Thank you. I'm not sure that it can be. I think that it would turn out with too many stitches and be really, really wavy. :)

DeleteHi Debi Y. I am having trouble with row 7. I have looked at the comment you had for someone else who had trouble with row 7 but I'm confused. Could you please type out row 7 from beginning to end. Thank you.
