I’ve watched several different instructors but just couldn’t grasp it until I saw yours. Slow and steady with a very pleasing voice. Thank you, thank you. You made an old lady very happy 😁
Absolutely loved making my ripple blanket! I used ombre wool so didnt need to change colours, that made it even easier. As always, your videos are the best crochet resource out there ❤
THANK YOU! I started a ripple using another tutorial, but was having difficulties. The best tip in your video was about which stitches to start increases and decreases. I was totally hung up on that and you corrected it. No one else I watched mentioned that important part. Its especially helpful to get you back aligned if the # of your stitches aren't correct!
I love the video ... thank you Bella. While I plan to have this as my "go to ripple stitch" video, may I ask that you include written instructions as well?
When i want to "ripple" it doesn't matter how many times I do I ALWAYS use this pattern by Bella Coco. It is guaranteed to work and working it sets me in a lovely crochet meditative rhythm. Thank you.
I write mine down as I go....and in my terms so I can understand......I am fairly new too and when I try a written pattern so far it don't look right...
I would double check your stitch count and make sure you're working your decreases correctly. To make the peaks of the ripple we work an increase but we have to balance this out in the valley of the ripple by working the decreases - if you don't do these then your stitch count will continue to increase. You should start and end each row with two trebles into one stitch (but remember that the turning chain counts as a stitch) 😊
I ended up ending my first row with the tdc tgthr increase, not the 3 DC. I have tried this over and over and I just cannot get it to work!!! Any ideas?
@@karendeisenroth6369 Make sure you are chaining 12s. Then adding an extra 3 a at the end. I use a calculator so I don't miss count. I was messing up the same the first time I tried this pattern. I got so annoyed with this one lol. But I finally got it.
Thank you! I haven't begun one of these in a long time, although I'm a senior and have been crocheting for many years. This tutorial helped me to re-learn how to start the ripple stitch for a baby blanket. Thanks again. Blessings.
On the second row do I continue to add the 2 stitches into 1 stitch at the end of each block as I did in the first row? My pattern appears to be not right as I go along the row. Thanks
I loved this tutorial !! You are excellent . I love the pace of which you speak . I also love how you tell us and also show us what you are talking about to make everything crystal clear . I have watched and learned from several of your tutorials . I look forward to learning more !! 🤗
@@kathyhhhone that will depend on the yarn, the size of the blanket you want to make, the hook size and your tension. Your best bet is to make a swatch then decide how much you will need for your project 👍
I've tried this over and over and cannot get it right from row 1. I need help please. I've chained 24 plus 3. But every time I do it I only have 3 chain left for the last 3 trebles, no chain left for the last tr. I must be being thick somewhere.
Have you gone back over your row to double check your stitches? You are absolutely NOT being thick; it's really easy to miscount 😊 Remember you should be working your first stitch into the fourth chain from the hook. You can then use stitch markers to help you to mark out each part of the ripple. The written instructions are over on my blog here: blog.bellacococrochet.com/the-ripple-stitch/ with some close up photos which should also help.
Your tutorial was excellent and, as a beginner, I learned so much. I was wondering if you might have the instructions written down and if they can be shared with me. I am having some trouble with the beginning and end of each row. I’m sure that I’m not increasing or decreasing appropriately and that’s probably the problem. If I had some written instructions I think my error would be immediately apparent. Thanks in advance for your help.
This is so beautiful, the gorgeous colours are stunning. This is my next project 😀😀. Please keep your amazing videos coming, I really look forward to them Mwah xx 💜 😊
Thanks Bella, I just decided to learn how to crochet and I ran across your site. Wow, thanks to you I've completed a few blankets for my family. Your tutorials are very easy to follow and are point on. Thanks again I'll continue to follow you and recommend your site friends and family. Anita Taylor
I nearly lost my mind trying to get the stitch count to match another video, but yours was so easy to understand and clear as a bell to watch. Thank you so much!
I have tried to do this 3 times today and I always end up with not enough stitches and the last time I have 2 too many stitches. I counted the chain twice before starting to make sure I had the right amount of stitches. Not sure where I am going wrong so I have given up for today, its making me quite frustrated
Hi! This is such a great tutorial! I only have one problem: I do not understand what you do when you crochet into that triple chain for a new round: where do you insert your crochet needle; in which one of these 3 stitches? Julia
Julia Aaslie She tells you to chain 3 then triple stitch (or double using US terms ) in first stitch Hope this helps you I know it’s over two years ago
Always rip out and start over. Even experienced crocheters have to do it. It pays to constantly checkout work as you go along. I had to "frog" numerous times even on this simple pattern.💋
Thank you so much for this video, I have been trying out different increments but none of them were working till I started doing 12. Now my edges are straight and I can actually start my project now
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I hope you could advise me if there is a need to add a finishing edging/ border either along the side edges or all around? If so, what type of stitching would you recommend? My blanket made up with Lion Brand Ice Cream DK striping looks so very nice without one, but since I have been crocheting a little over a year, I wanted to be sure about this ripple pattern, especially finishing off. I would really appreciate your response, as I plan to donate this blanket soon. Thanks!!
I need help!! So i’m trying to make a blanket, and i’m trying to figure out if i do the “ending” double crochet after every round or does that last one on your round 1 mean only do it at the very end of the foundation row?
Where have I gone wrong if I end up with 2 spare stitches at the end of the first row? I counted and stitch marked meticulously for each 12 so I don't know how I keep going wrong, it's so frustrating! This has happened 3 times now. Obviously a me issue and not a tutorial issue but even counting along I can't find where I went wrong :(
I would make sure that you’ve worked the pattern correctly all along the row, with the right number of stitches in between your increases and decreases. You might also find it helpful to check the written instructions to help you: blog.bellacococrochet.com/the-ripple-stitch/ 😊
your my go to girl for showing me how to make stitches. your voice is very calming and makes me want to crochet things. i have learned a lot from you and i have only been crocheting for a year and have made so many things thank you so much
thanks so much for your awesome videos! I'm a beginner and your videos are very helpful to learn something new. I have a question though...I am doing the ripple blanket in 4 colors and I got to 6 rows or so and it looked the ripples had become less pronounced and the sides looked like they were flaring out and not staying the same length. I've made sure to do a double crochet in the last stitch. maybe it was my imagination but maybe themost recent row was more stretched out so it looked different?? anyway I took it all apart and rewatched the video and started again.to this point it looks like I've done everything correctly. so should the sides be parallel or should they bow out?? please help!!
Beverly Holland I have a go alongside the video for a round or part of a round then I stop, watch it back with a pen and paper and write it down myself. I've only just started crocheting and am yet to follow a proper written pattern so I write it how it makes sense to me rather than the proper abbreviations. That way I can carry on my project when I haven't got access to RUclips or if I get mixed up I can look back at my own written version x
Can anybody help please? My row1 has ended on 2 double crochet together..im very new to crochet and obviously have counted wrong. Can anyone advise how to start row 2 from here? Thanks :)
If you’ve ended your first row on a decrease it would be worth going back over the row and correcting it rather than continuing with the blanket 😊 It can help to crochet a smaller swatch until you get the hang of the pattern.
I like this ripple pattern MUCH better than the 10 up/10 down with increases and decreases that I’ve done before. Very pretty. Thanks for the demo and instructions.
I’m just wondering if the last several stitches at the end will be different at the end as you go along. I know you will end with 2 stitches in the very last stitch. But I either missed a stitch somewhere or don’t count right. I can’t figure it out. I start the rows correct, but the last five or so stitches before the 2 in the chain 3 are ending differently. As I keep going. Does that make sense? Instead of ending the row with 3 stitches, then 2 stitches in the last chain 3; I might end with 2 stitches together then 2 stitches in chain 3.
Each row should be exactly the same so if you're ending one row differently then there will likely be a mistake somewhere along the row. I would go back and doublecheck, and make sure you've worked your increases and decreases correctly :-)
Is it possible to do odd multiples of 12? I was trying to do a 12+3 and I could not for the life of me figure out how to get the incs and decs to line up until I realized that in a 24+3 the pattern begins and ends the same way (v^v). Is it not possible to end the pattern the opposite way (^v^v)?
The ripple pattern begins and ends with a peak so that it matches up on both sides - if you wanted to start on a peak but end on a dip then you’d need to remove one half of the repeat, but that would make it difficult when starting and finishing a row, and keeping your stitch count correct (hope I’ve understood you correctly!) 😊
Hii dere. Thank u for d tutorial. I hv been trying ripple blanket stitch for a long but everytime it went wrong on d 3rd or 4th row with mismatched stitches. But ur tutorial is bang on. Now I hv started a shawl with d same. Very easy and detailed description helped me achieve d perfect stitch. Very happy with d result.
Wow, this is so timely! Bought the wool and thought it would make a lovely blanket and here popped up the video! Very easy to watch and I got it first time. Many thanks!
thank u very much. u explained the pattern inso detail easily to understand..the pattern is very beautiful. thank u again & all the very best for your other projects.
hiii i want to make a tv blanket for myself. but i don't kno how many chains i need to start. every video i see do two or three zigzag thing. and im so confused. can someone help me please:)
The best way to work out how many chains you will need is to crochet a sample swatch 😊 If you work a small sample that is three pattern repeats across, for example, you can measure this and use it to calculate how many chains you will need for a blanket the size you would like.
Very clear easy to follow directions. Really appreciate that you pointed out the pitfalls where there might be issues in the beginning and end. Goes together fast and looks awesome. Thank you.
You’re welcome 😊 I would make sure that you have the correct number of stitches; if you’re sure that everything is correct then you could use a bigger hook size for you starting chain before sizing back down again. It could be that your chain is too tight and is pulling the bottom in.
Thank you so much for your lovely tutorial! I made a ripple baby blanket when I was a child but forgot how to do it. This was a great reminder video and your voice is so soothing. 🙂💜
What am I doing wrong? I am chaining multiples of 12+3. Then start crocheting into 4th chain from hook. Followed everything exact. Did it twice. Never end up with one chain left over :(
Rather than counting a long chain (because it is so easy to miss or add a stitch count) can I suggest you just count 12 then go back to 1 and count to 12 again. You can then lay your chain out to see if it is the correct size the ripples are very gentle and won't make much difference to the length. So just count to 12 then start again etc and when you have the length you want add 3. I hope it helps being visually impaired I can't keep count of long chains, so i have to break it down in to repeats and in this instance put a stitch marker every 12th stitch and then a marker at the end of my last 12 so when I do my chain 3 turn and dc in 4th ch from hook it is where my marker is. Sorry it's so long winded but having a visual impairment I have to find ways of marking my repeats etc. So good luck I really hope it works. Also don't chain to tightly i work a bit loosely and try to keep the chain straight as you work twisting can change the stitch count.
On the down slope you put two in two stitches? On the up slope do you put double in two stitches. If you could slow down just a bit. You have been awesome.
Thank you 😊 In the downwards slip you’ll be decreasing by working two stitches together; in the upwards slope you’ll be increasing by working two stitches in one space. Remember you can adjust the playback speed through the settings.
You’re very welcome! 😊 I would recommend crocheting a small sample swatch that you can measure and weigh to work out exactly how much you’ll need for the size you want. It’s difficult to say exactly how many balls of yarn you will need as it will depend on your personal tension as well as the yarn and hook you’re using, but for a very large blanket to fit a double bed you will likely need around 15 100g balls of DK yarn.
I’d make sure you’re following the pattern correctly as this should work up with nice straight sides 😊 Remember you should be beginning and ending each row with two trebles (at the beginning your turning chain will count as one treble).
It would really be best to go back over the row and make sure you’ve worked everything correctly so that the pattern lines up as you continue 😊 If everything looks fine and you’ve just made an extra starting chain, you can fix that using my tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/5mONybIWFO0/видео.html
Sorry you’ve not found the tutorial clear - after the second row you just need to keep repeating row two until you reach the size you want. You can also find the written instructions on my blog here which might help: blog.bellacococrochet.com/the-ripple-stitch/ 😊
Have tried this with 24 stitches, and it worked. Now with 168 plus 3 it does not. How many posts should there be on the second row? Really want to make this, but getting very frustrated with it. You explain it well, what am I doing wrong? AAAAgggghhh
Bella coco I have tried this pattern 5 different times with different yarn thinking I've made a mistake but on the last part of the first row I end up with 2 stitches and not the one like you say in the video? What is it I'm doing wrong?
Karis Shaffer I figured it out, I missed a DC at the beginning after the turning chain and also I didn't have an even foundation chain of 12 before I added the 3
HELP!! I am trying to make a small blanket, 156 wide. No matter what I do, I end up with 3 left at the end. I count off sets of 12, not the full 156, just in case I’m off but I still end up with 3 left over. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Sarah hope you’re doing well!!! Do you know if you happen to have a pattern for a bed scarf or a bed runner I suppose I could modify one of these blankets to work; I just thought maybe you had some thing you would suggest Thanks 🌸💗🌸
Such a nice and super clear video!! I was wondering and couldn’t find it, is it also possible to make this pattern but with half treble stitches instead of treble?
Thank you! 😊 I've not tried that but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to - remember you will need to adjust the number of starting chains as it's a smaller stitch.
Hi Sarah Jayne , thank you for another great tutorial. You are very very talented. I have learnt to crochet by watching you, so please don't give up. This is a beautiful and unusual pattern!! Could I ask if you make up your own patterns/designs? xx
Very good instructons. I started a 45" x 65' blanket following this pattern and the few inches I have already completed look very nice. I am using an Ombre Super Saver acrylic yarn in blue shades with an "I" hook (5.5mm). The color shades change every couple of rows on their own so I don't need to cut the yarn to add a new color.
This is a really difficult question to answer as it really depends on the yarn you are using, your hook size and your personal tension. It would probably be best for you to do a small swatch and work it out from there :)
Hi. I am trying to find out what color yarn you used in this whole project. The link below for supplies does not work. Can anyone help please? Thank you. Gorgeous colorful blanket!
I got to the end of a very long row (about 5 feet) and I am of.f I only have room for 2 more double crochets so I will be missing one plus the increase. I have counted back and can't find my mistake. Any suggestions for fixing it, other than pulling the entire row and starting over?
Usually when a blanket curves into a rainbow shape it’s because the starting chain is too tight - you can work the foundation chain using a bigger hook and then size back down again to start the pattern 😊
Can you please help me out :( .. I accidentaly cut of the wrong end of the blanket because i thought i made a mistake. So I pulled the whole first row out but now i am afraid i messed it up :( can this be fixed? Or do i have to start over
Is there a written pattern available. I do ok when I follow along with your tutorial but when I'm away from a computer and get confused I don't have anything to refer to to get back on track. Thank you so much. Your videos are very helpful.
Hello, I just watched the tutorial of the ripple blanket in the rainbow colors. Is there a pattern available? I’d like to know all of the colors to get and the beginning and ending of the pattern.
I would go back over the row and double check your stitches - I wouldn't continue with the extra stitches as it will throw your whole blanket out. You can find the written instructions on my website here which might help you: bellacococrochet.com/the-ripple-stitch/ and I would recommend making a small swatch to begin with for practise 😊
After hitting so many rows I came to ending with with 2 trebles before doing the last 2 trebles in the last chain, I have taken rows out, should all my rows line up with row 2 or end up different I have actually counted them before taking apart to make sure I didn't miscounted.could you clarify this as you end the video after 2 rows
It’s difficult to say exactly how many as it will depend on the yarn and hook you’re using, as well as your own personal tension. The best way to work out how many is to crochet a small sample swatch (you could do three sets, for example) that you can then measure and use to work out how many sets for a full size blanket 😊
Extremely thankful for this tutorial. I found a pattern the other day and have retried at least 5 times to follow the directions before looking this up. It's so much clearer now! (Her directions were wrong as well) thank you :)
I have been trying to make a blanket for my friends baby, did rows, didn't like thay, did squares to join later, hated that. tried this tonight, it takes me a few cus I am a beginner but I think we have a keeper. thank you!!
I’ve watched several different instructors but just couldn’t grasp it until I saw yours. Slow and steady with a very pleasing voice. Thank you, thank you. You made an old lady very happy 😁

But I either missed a stitch somewhere or don’t count right. I can’t figure it out. I start the rows correct, but the last five or so stitches before the 2 in the chain 3 are ending differently. As I keep going.
Does that make sense? Instead of ending the row with 3 stitches, then 2 stitches in the last chain 3; I might end with 2 stitches together then 2 stitches in chain 3.
Each row should be exactly the same so if you're ending one row differently then there will likely be a mistake somewhere along the row. I would go back and doublecheck, and make sure you've worked your increases and decreases correctly :-)
Is it possible to do odd multiples of 12? I was trying to do a 12+3 and I could not for the life of me figure out how to get the incs and decs to line up until I realized that in a 24+3 the pattern begins and ends the same way (v^v). Is it not possible to end the pattern the opposite way (^v^v)?
The ripple pattern begins and ends with a peak so that it matches up on both sides - if you wanted to start on a peak but end on a dip then you’d need to remove one half of the repeat, but that would make it difficult when starting and finishing a row, and keeping your stitch count correct (hope I’ve understood you correctly!) 😊
Thank you for tutorial. It is so helpful. Have a lovely day. Greeting from SA. 🌞

I'm making my baby's first blanket before my due date. So excited to see the finish product! Thank you for this tutorial
You are very welcome and congratulations :)
Wow, this is so timely! Bought the wool and thought it would make a lovely blanket and here popped up the video! Very easy to watch and I got it first time. Many thanks!
thank u very much. u explained the pattern inso detail easily to understand..the pattern is very beautiful. thank u again & all the very best for your other projects.
You're very welcome and thank you for your comments :)
❤ this....thinking it'll be a nice 1st birthday present for my nephew. Do you have the written pattern please? x
Thank you for this...the instructions are so clear. I was really struggling with this pattern until I found your video and I’m very grateful 😊
You're very welcome :)
hiii i want to make a tv blanket for myself. but i don't kno how many chains i need to start. every video i see do two or three zigzag thing. and im so confused. can someone help me please:)
The best way to work out how many chains you will need is to crochet a sample swatch 😊 If you work a small sample that is three pattern repeats across, for example, you can measure this and use it to calculate how many chains you will need for a blanket the size you would like.
Very clear easy to follow directions. Really appreciate that you pointed out the pitfalls where there might be issues in the beginning and end. Goes together fast and looks awesome. Thank you.
Thanks for your tutorial.. I have got the pattern correct but my swatch widens as I go on adding more rows.. please.. pls suggest what to do
You’re welcome 😊 I would make sure that you have the correct number of stitches; if you’re sure that everything is correct then you could use a bigger hook size for you starting chain before sizing back down again. It could be that your chain is too tight and is pulling the bottom in.
Thank you so much for your lovely tutorial! I made a ripple baby blanket when I was a child but forgot how to do it. This was a great reminder video and your voice is so soothing. 🙂💜
You are very welcome :)
What am I doing wrong? I am chaining multiples of 12+3. Then start crocheting into 4th chain from hook. Followed everything exact. Did it twice. Never end up with one chain left over :(
This happened to me too...
I dont get it. I am using a 408 chain plus 3. I keep ending up with two loops at the end. What am I doing wrong?
Same here, at the moment I am totally confused!
Me too!
Rather than counting a long chain (because it is so easy to miss or add a stitch count) can I suggest you just count 12 then go back to 1 and count to 12 again. You can then lay your chain out to see if it is the correct size the ripples are very gentle and won't make much difference to the length. So just count to 12 then start again etc and when you have the length you want add 3. I hope it helps being visually impaired I can't keep count of long chains, so i have to break it down in to repeats and in this instance put a stitch marker every 12th stitch and then a marker at the end of my last 12 so when I do my chain 3 turn and dc in 4th ch from hook it is where my marker is. Sorry it's so long winded but having a visual impairment I have to find ways of marking my repeats etc. So good luck I really hope it works. Also don't chain to tightly i work a bit loosely and try to keep the chain straight as you work twisting can change the stitch count.
after trying to follow about 4 different videos for the ripple / chevron 😅 your video finally made sense to me and was easy to follow ❤
I'm glad it helped :)
On the down slope you put two in two stitches? On the up slope do you put double in two stitches. If you could slow down just a bit. You have been awesome.
Thank you 😊 In the downwards slip you’ll be decreasing by working two stitches together; in the upwards slope you’ll be increasing by working two stitches in one space. Remember you can adjust the playback speed through the settings.
how much yard would I need to make this beautiful afghan for a full bed. thanks for making crocheting easy.
You’re very welcome! 😊 I would recommend crocheting a small sample swatch that you can measure and weigh to work out exactly how much you’ll need for the size you want. It’s difficult to say exactly how many balls of yarn you will need as it will depend on your personal tension as well as the yarn and hook you’re using, but for a very large blanket to fit a double bed you will likely need around 15 100g balls of DK yarn.
My edges are ending up really wonky and I can't figure out why.
I’d make sure you’re following the pattern correctly as this should work up with nice straight sides 😊 Remember you should be beginning and ending each row with two trebles (at the beginning your turning chain will count as one treble).
Thanks for the pattern, but why are you calling double crochets treble? I am confused.
I work in UK terms so a UK treble is a US double, it's that same stitch just different terminology :)
I'm easily distracted when counting. What should I do if in the end, I have one more hole left. Is there still a fix to that?
It would really be best to go back over the row and make sure you’ve worked everything correctly so that the pattern lines up as you continue 😊 If everything looks fine and you’ve just made an extra starting chain, you can fix that using my tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/5mONybIWFO0/видео.html
Wish you had made it longer. I started with 205 and I am left in 5he dark as to how to go beyond the last ripple. Please help me.
Sorry you’ve not found the tutorial clear - after the second row you just need to keep repeating row two until you reach the size you want. You can also find the written instructions on my blog here which might help: blog.bellacococrochet.com/the-ripple-stitch/ 😊
Hi I like the way you explain it's so much easier than looking at my book
Thank you :)
Have tried this with 24 stitches, and it worked. Now with 168 plus 3 it does not. How many posts should there be on the second row? Really want to make this, but getting very frustrated with it. You explain it well, what am I doing wrong? AAAAgggghhh
Awesome tutorial - am going to make one of these for a queen size bed :) Thanks so much to the easy to understand tutorial!
Tracy Van Alphen, did you finish the queen blanket? How many rolls of yarn did it take?
Bella coco I have tried this pattern 5 different times with different yarn thinking I've made a mistake but on the last part of the first row I end up with 2 stitches and not the one like you say in the video? What is it I'm doing wrong?
Kerri Bos the last stitch has two double crochet before turning. Sounds like you have it right.
Karis Shaffer I figured it out, I missed a DC at the beginning after the turning chain and also I didn't have an even foundation chain of 12 before I added the 3
O good!! It took me a couple tries when I first started!!
HELP!! I am trying to make a small blanket, 156 wide. No matter what I do, I end up with 3 left at the end. I count off sets of 12, not the full 156, just in case I’m off but I still end up with 3 left over. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Sarah hope you’re doing well!!! Do you know if you happen to have a pattern for a bed scarf or a bed runner I suppose I could modify one of these blankets to work; I just thought maybe you had some thing you would suggest Thanks 🌸💗🌸
Thanks so much! A super video x
Such a nice and super clear video!! I was wondering and couldn’t find it, is it also possible to make this pattern but with half treble stitches instead of treble?
Thank you! 😊 I've not tried that but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to - remember you will need to adjust the number of starting chains as it's a smaller stitch.
@@bellacococrochet thank you for your reply! I did it with half treble anyway in the end and loved the result. Thanks for a very clear tutorial!
Your videos are so awesome! I'm so glad you teach so well, you are very authoritative and wise, god bless you
Easy to learn the pattern.
Mine ended on a treble now I have to start all over 😢
Hi Sarah Jayne , thank you for another great tutorial. You are very very talented. I have learnt to crochet by watching you, so please don't give up. This is a beautiful and unusual pattern!! Could I ask if you make up your own patterns/designs? xx
Thank you! Finally my ripple came out right...Great explainations!
Very good instructons. I started a 45" x 65' blanket following this pattern and the few inches I have already completed look very nice. I am using an Ombre Super Saver acrylic yarn in blue shades with an "I" hook (5.5mm). The color shades change every couple of rows on their own so I don't need to cut the yarn to add a new color.
This is a wonderful tutorial. I have started my blanket and I'm very happy with it thanks to your video.
I am trying to work out how many chains I will need to do a throw for a chair measurement is 32 inches
This is a really difficult question to answer as it really depends on the yarn you are using, your hook size and your personal tension. It would probably be best for you to do a small swatch and work it out from there :)
Hi. I am trying to find out what color yarn you used in this whole project. The link below for supplies does not work. Can anyone help please? Thank you. Gorgeous colorful blanket!
I got to the end of a very long row (about 5 feet) and I am of.f I only have room for 2 more double crochets so I will be missing one plus the increase. I have counted back and can't find my mistake. Any suggestions for fixing it, other than pulling the entire row and starting over?
my blanket seems to have gone in a rainbow shape as the first row seems to be shorter than the rest!! any idea what i can do ?
Usually when a blanket curves into a rainbow shape it’s because the starting chain is too tight - you can work the foundation chain using a bigger hook and then size back down again to start the pattern 😊
Can you please help me out :( .. I accidentaly cut of the wrong end of the blanket because i thought i made a mistake. So I pulled the whole first row out but now i am afraid i messed it up :( can this be fixed? Or do i have to start over
Is there a written pattern available. I do ok when I follow along with your tutorial but when I'm away from a computer and get confused I don't have anything to refer to to get back on track. Thank you so much. Your videos are very helpful.
Trying to find the video pattern L 70361.shaded ripple baby afghan please help
Hello, I just watched the tutorial of the ripple blanket in the rainbow colors. Is there a pattern available? I’d like to know all of the colors to get and the beginning and ending of the pattern.
On the first row I ended with two spaces so I did two trebles in each. Is that okay or will it mess it up?
I would go back over the row and double check your stitches - I wouldn't continue with the extra stitches as it will throw your whole blanket out. You can find the written instructions on my website here which might help you: bellacococrochet.com/the-ripple-stitch/ and I would recommend making a small swatch to begin with for practise 😊
After hitting so many rows I came to ending with with 2 trebles before doing the last 2 trebles in the last chain, I have taken rows out, should all my rows line up with row 2 or end up different I have actually counted them before taking apart to make sure I didn't miscounted.could you clarify this as you end the video after 2 rows
How many sets of 12 would you make this so it’s wide enough for an adult?
It’s difficult to say exactly how many as it will depend on the yarn and hook you’re using, as well as your own personal tension. The best way to work out how many is to crochet a small sample swatch (you could do three sets, for example) that you can then measure and use to work out how many sets for a full size blanket 😊
Extremely thankful for this tutorial. I found a pattern the other day and have retried at least 5 times to follow the directions before looking this up. It's so much clearer now! (Her directions were wrong as well) thank you :)

I have been trying to make a blanket for my friends baby, did rows, didn't like thay, did squares to join later, hated that. tried this tonight, it takes me a few cus I am a beginner but I think we have a keeper. thank you!!
I'm new to crochet and I'm just curious, why are the terms different in USA and UK? I'm curious and can't seem to find the answer
