I have had other people explain it and even commented that theirs was the best tutorial and WAS till I followed your directions. NOW I can say in all honesty YOU are the BEST. 🎉
I am making afghans for my seven grandchildren and using beautiful variegated yarn. I have been searching for a simple pattern that would highlight the varied colors. This pattern is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you so much. Your video makes this pattern easy to understand 😊
Thank you for your clear instructions and pacing for this beautiful pattern. Your voice is very pleasant to listen to, unlike many that are high and squeaky. I'm looking for relatively quick yet interesting scarf patterns, and this surely will be one of them.
You’re an excellent instructor. You not only show the way to make stitches, you explain your reasons behind your method. Thanks also for offering very good tips! I’ve been crocheting for years and have learned a LOT from you! ❤️ Hugsss ❤️
This is it!!! I have not been able to master ripple stitch but this I can do! Thank you, thank you. I go to a craft group where we crochet for charity. I like to do something different to the usual granny stitch that is done but as you can imagine there is a lot of chatter going on while we are crocheting. I need things that are not complicated yet look nice, that are easy for me to do while chatting. This one is really good. I love it.
Yes, I know what you mean … you need something a little mindless to keep up with the fun conversations. I wish there was a craft group near me, that sounds like a lot of fun 😀💕
You are the only one I found, that holds both ,hook and yarn the same way I do. I have tryed to hold it other ways ,but can't. Itis is the way I learned many years ago. My grandmother showed me how to do basic stitches. I dident really start crocheting until 10 years ago.when I stopped work. I was going nuts ,nothing to do. So I'm still learning ❤❤THANK YOU
Thank you so much for your inspiring videos! I have so many ideas as a direct result of watching you teach so well. I've ordered yarn for this ripple stitch for an afghan project. I've dug out all my old yarns and have started a sweater from "the PERFECT moss stitch in the round" using some beautiful variegated discontinued red heart stock I bought years ago You've reawakened my love of crocheting.
I have donated every shawl, every blanket I have ever made. I've done this for years. I decided I was going to make myself one. I finally decided on the type and came across yours. Your pattern is by far the best and easiest. I want to thank you for the awesome tutorial and pattern. 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤ I'm making a queen and not even half done. But you have made this so easy. Thank you, thank you oh and did I tell you Thank You?
I just started your tutorial, and I'm so glad that I can pause as many times as I want until I get it right. Once I get this memorized or learn to do the pattern, I'll be able to make them pretty easy and fast. Thank you for taking the time to record the instructions for people like me who are hands on--visual learners. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Absolutely the best! I have still to buy wool and material, i am at mom on holyday, and i look to go home.....to begin! I love and watch every video just to understand and be...ready...when i will begin! Grazie grazie!
I have tried this stitch and failed cause the other people didn't explain it very well. I fell in love with the way that you showed me. You have the best tutorial. Your directions are very easy follow. So glad I found it.
Got to say. Rarely do I comment. However, done many ripple/chevron looks and this is truly the simplest AND with a beautiful look. This will also be easy for newbies to learn AND enjoy learning! Thank you.
Thank you for this pattern - it was the ONLY wave blanket pattern I could get to work out, I tried two others online and had to frog both of them at least three times each as the counts just were not working out. I'm not a novice crocheter either! I'm doing your pattern in thick bands of mustard, pale teal and cream.
Thankyou so much for your precise and easy to follow instructions. I have so enjoyed making this blanket and I’m sure I will be making more. Blessings to you
First ripple blanket underway. Yay! A few screwups (my fault), and a redo because I decided to up my hook size, but I’ve got this. W00t!! Thanks as always.
I'm new to crochet (only been making washcloths and recently learned the granny square stitch) I'm trying to branch out a little and this seems doable. Thank you for the clear tutorial.
Beautiful blanket! You explain the directions so well. I love the simplicity of this beautiful because it shows off the yarn very well. Thank you for your exceptional talent. ❤
You’re welcome 😀🧶💕 please let me know if you find any errors. I used a program that helped me convert my transcript . I double checked it but just in case!
This is by far the easiest time I've had starting a blanket. This one for my son finally. I have a new grandbaby on the way he or she will need a blankie. 💖💖
This is a nice pattern, thank you.😊 There are so many variations of the ripple stitch! I am currently working on a wide scarf/ wrap in a ripple stitch using variagated yarn and it shows off the colours beautifully. The pattern I am working on uses half double crochet stitches which automatically gives you a ridge without working in the back loop only. The pattern I am using skips two stitches in the dip. The only thing I don't like is that because of the way a half double crochet stitch is formed the gaps in the dip do not look symmetrical, and I like symetry! 😁 If I do another ripple stitch I would do one more like your pattern. It looks nicer.😊
This has quickly become one of my favorite stitches 🤩. It's so easy to memorize but looks complicated. This is the classic ripple stitch with a ridge and is ideal for beginners or if you have a project that you want to work up quickly without a lot of stress. If you've haven't tried this one yet, you must! 😍
Just came across your page tonight thanks to someone recommending your video on the Crocheting for Beginners FB page! This is so pretty. Looking forward to try it! Thank you for the great video! 😊
The pattern is interesting, color combination unique, refreshing. Your instructions precise, many thanks. Going to take a look at this yarn tomorrow. Blessings 🙏🏼
@@PlayHookywithMe I made one in all water colors it was for my son actually and then my sister (a different one that before) loved it so much she wants one just like it. So here I am back on your video again to watch it so I can make one for her too! ❤❤❤ thank you
Hai Roz i just watched your tutorial and i love that you mentioned about the variegated yarn . I made a scarf with this pattern and what i did was turn the strands into fringes on both ends . As always great lesson . Have a good evening with the boys i love seeing them .
Success! Have just completed a trial lap blanket following your excellent instructions. Very happy with the result. Given me confidence to try something new. I particularly liked that the beginning and ends of rows was simple, as that is usually where I go wrong. Thank you!
Hi Roz!! I love this video!! I’ve been watching tons of ripple blanket videos for the last couple of days, trying to find someone who speaks very clearly, explains it very clearly, has a great camera in focus, the right color yarn that you’re using to teach with, etc., and yours is by far the best!!! I’m getting ready to start my very first crochet blanket project using your video and pattern!😱 I just want to point out, I really like those stitch markers that you are using in this video! They seem like they would be easier to insert and to remove with just one hand, and without it getting stuck. I hate the two types of markers I have! Can you possibly tell me where I can find the type you use? I’ve looked through Amazon a bit, and I don’t see anything like those. What gives?😉😁 Btw….what a fantastic suggestion to use the markers in both of the ways you mentioned….in the base chain stitches, and for marking the peaks & valleys. That should keep me from missing or losing a stitch!
So glad you found the video useful, it’s a fun one! 👏🏻 Unfortunately, the only place I’ve found them is at Michaels . They are called “the crochet dude” stitch markers. I think someone mentioned once that they are at Joanns as well. They are made by Loops & Threads so you might be able to go to their website and order from there. 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you so so much!! And please keep doing what you do! Do you do the “buy me a coffee” thing, or any type of way to donate money to your business?
I am currently working on this pattern and loving how easy and beautiful it is! I would like to do a single crochet border all around the edge when it's completed but am unsure of how many stitches and where to put them along the sides especially... is there a video you could recommend that would show me how to do that?
Sure - I have tips on that with the first border in this video. Hope it helps 💕 My 5 Favorite Borders That Work For Almost Any Project 🤩 ruclips.net/video/JskHR0b8hEE/видео.html
Very pretty, I like the colors and the ridges effect. I like to know please if the 2DC together and the 2DC in the same stitch are directly on top of the ones in the previous row because mine are not. Thank you for your tutorial.
It should be, yes. When you get to the end of the row do you have 4 remaining stitches left (a dc in 3 of those stitches then 2dc in the last st)? If so , you should be on track.
Love your way of doing this pattern! And your voice is so calm so it’s so easy to stay concentrated on it. Where did you get throat stitch marker you used in the beginning? TY 😊
I agree with others who commented about a print version request. I think you could take the transcript and turn into a PDF and post the link in your video or put it in Ravelry for sale. Crocheting and watching video instruction simultaneously seems inefficient to me. However, the instructional video is excellent and once you memorize the pattern you don't need to watch any longer. Just my take. Have a great day!
Appreciate your feedback and I’ll think on this some more. I teach classic stitches that are generally available online in written form and started this channel to help those that are visual learners like myself. But I hear you 💕
So pretty and your tutorials are the best! Thank you for clearly explaining and showing each stitch. My question is about yarn..I’ve made a few afghans using dk weight acrylic yarn, and while I love the weight and ease in crocheting, I hate the pilling. Do you think cotton yarn would be better in that regard? Thank you for all your awesome videos…you have been responsible for so many projects in my household!!😂😂
I’m so happy that you’ve enjoyed the videos, thank you for telling me! That’s a great question on the yarn. I have to admit that I’m using the cotton because they work so well for the videos but I haven’t completed a full blanket with this yarn to give you an objective answer 😕 The closest I have used and washed is a yarn that is a blend of cotton with nylon (créme cotton by loops & threads) and I haven’t experienced any pilling. I’ve heard great things about the anti pilling yarn by Premier Yarns . I’m not sure it comes in a dk weight but I’d recommend giving it a try. I plan on it as well. 👍🏻💕
Hi and thank you for sharing this beautiful video tutorial! I love it. Can’t wait to make a baby blanket and lap blankets for wheelchairs for the local nursing home. One comment, I normally use a larger hook , a 5.75 J hook, using I Love This Yarn #4 worsted weight yarn because I tend to crochet tighter . One question, what do you think about alternating between the two rows of color using front loop, then using the back loop for the next row? Thanks so very much for your input.
Another question, would it be possible to alternate the number of rows ie two rows of one color alternating with three rows of another color and so forth? Thanks again for your input.
I’m glad you found a hook size that you love. I have been thinking of moving up to a 5 lately but I keep reverting back to 4mm. 😅 I wish I could give you a good answer on the changing of loops but I haven’t tried it before. I would suggest making a very small sample and trying about 4 or 5 rows with it and see what you think. Keep me posted, if you do ! ❤️
They are called , the crochet dude stitch markers. I’ve only been able to find them at Michaels but someone commented once that she found them at Joann’s . Crochet Dude Stitch Markers: www.kqzyfj.com/click-100216280-13492653?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaels.com%2Fproduct%2Fthe-crochet-dude-stitch-marker-rings-10233530&cjsku=10233530
I see a baby blanket using this pattern, in my future. Btw, hello Loki & Biscuit. It's always so cute when they insert themselves into ur tutorials. Lol 😊
Thank you for this video. I need to make a baby blanket quickly for an upcoming baby shower. How many chains would you recommend for a 36" square blanket?
I would recommend that you chain up to the 36 inches using the multiple as your guide to get close to that width. I can’t give you a specific number because I don’t know the hook and yarn size you’re using. That will make a difference to the count as well as your tension 💕
Thank you … I weave as I go but after a few rows when I’m sure I’ve got my stitch count correct. I don’t like to carry them while I do the next row because sometimes it shows through or I just plain forget. I usually use the rule of three that I share in this video: ruclips.net/video/VElsx623OcM/видео.htmlsi=lmg_Ym5kTDk_nQMd
If I was to make this ridged ripple stitch into a rainbow Afghan, but wanted to do 3 rows of color w/one row of white in-between, would the look of the color ripples still be as pronounced?
Thanks for the clear instructions on this pattern. How much width do you lose from the foundation row with this pattern. I want to make a blanket 30 inches wide so how wide should my foundation row be?
Hi Heather , I actually didn’t notice much of a change in the width, surprisingly. For example , I did a small test and the initial chain measured 6 in . After row 1 , it reduced to 5.5 in . By row 2 , it bounced back to 6 in. 😅💁🏼♀️ I’d recommend trying on a test swatch with your yarn but I think you’ll be fine 👍🏻🧶
This is BEAUTIFUL!! Is there a written pattern to follow? I have tremors due to a bad fall and I have a hard time writing, at least so you can read it! 🤷♀️
I’m sorry , I don’t have a written pattern available but this is a fairly popular stitch so I imagine if you googled it, you would be able to find something. Search, “ripple stitch using double crochet increase and decrease “ or, “easy ripple using double crochets” Once you get used to the sequence it’s very easy to mentally memorize. You could do a voice note on your phone if the tremors are too severe to write it down for yourself , maybe. 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe I was able to watch twice and get the pattern written down! 🎊 Now I must ask, those hooks…are they worth the money? They look so easy to work with…🤔
@@cindycover3675 oh, that’s great 😀 For me, they have been worth it but I started by just buying 1 to see how it felt in my hand . I have weak wrists so the ergonomic handle helps a lot and the metal hook is well made. I hold my hook with a pencil grip and it seems to suit that style well. I would recommend the same thing, buy one and see what you think before committing 💕 (they do sell them separately on Amazon )
Thank you 😀- with ripples I usually keep it simple so i really don’t have anything exciting to suggest. Personally, I’d just pop single crochets around the edge and call it done. But I would recommend you check out the video on how to straighten the edges on the side. Makes a big difference 💕 ruclips.net/video/Kzkf0Ifb62c/видео.html
Unfortunately, I think it was discontinued. I got it at hobby lobby before they decided to get rid of everything that wasn’t their home brand. You might still be able to find it but I can’t guarantee it 🙁
@@lisachavez1352 my mistake / it was a house brand. It’s called yarn bee “authentic hand dyed alpaca” Color: maple leaf meadow I hope you can find it - it was a 15 dollar yarn and I got it for 4 dollars. Only one skein, though .
I am making a top down shirt that uses 2 rows chevron and 1 row lace . Their chevron pattern is too complicated for me so I looked for an easy one. Yours is the easiest pattern that I have seen. Thank you very much for it. Where did you get the st. markers, so simple to hang on the stitches without opening and closing like a safety pin. If you bought them online can I get the online address please.
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you so much😊. I had this rule imposed on me that I can’t start a new project until nearing the end of one…I am almost close to my last 20 rows of a blanket so I can at least start getting the supplies for this one soon. I just hope that mine turns out as pretty as yours. Thank you again.
hi! are you able to use a 4 weight yarn with a larger hook, like a size 8 hook and still keep the shape of the ripple? want to make sure before i do enough rows to find out for myself 😅
That's probably a bit too big for a weight 4 yarn. It can't hurt to give it a try but I'd recommend getting closer to the required hook size for your yarn. xx
It will depend on the hook and yarn you’re using . I’d recommend chaining to the measurement you want to reach. Typical throw sizes: 45 x 55 inches 45 x60 inches 50 x 60 inches (Make your chain using the first number in the measurement examples)
I love this pattern so much and it's simpl and easy to follow but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong when I am not coming out right at the end of the first row. I use stitch markers and recount my stitches , I have even pulled out stitches and recounted but I cannot get the first row correct so can't go any farther any suggestions would be helpful.i also use stitch markers at the peaks and dips.
Oh what a shame . One thing I noticed with the stitch markers….place them on the upper loop of the chain and try your best not to pull too tight on the yarn as you reinsert your hook to continue making chains. The chain can tighten and disappear on you. I would recommend that you start with a smaller chain and practice on it and then try again with your main project. You’ll get it to work 🙌🏻🧶💕 If all else fails , try this : ruclips.net/video/p8v1xEFmd5M/видео.html
There are different kinds . A receiving blanket is about 36x36 inches and a stroller size would be 30 x35 inches. You can Google baby blanket size to see what suits you best. Then work your chain up to the first number using the multiple recommended. I can’t say specifically since I don’t know the yarn weight and hook size you’re using. I’d have to manually do what I suggested here to know 💕
I would recommend something simple … maybe just a couple of rounds of single crochets to clean the edges up . Otherwise I’d recommend searching other wave style blankets and seeing what they’ve done 💕
Hi there, this is my third attempt at a ripple stitch, I’m on the third row and I seem to have lost definition , it looks flat. I have followed your very instructions carefully , what’s happening do you think?

Can you possibly tell me where I can find the type you use? I’ve looked through Amazon a bit, and I don’t see anything like those. What gives?😉😁
Btw….what a fantastic suggestion to use the markers in both of the ways you mentioned….in the base chain stitches, and for marking the peaks & valleys. That should keep me from missing or losing a stitch!
So glad you found the video useful, it’s a fun one! 👏🏻
Unfortunately, the only place I’ve found them is at Michaels .
They are called “the crochet dude” stitch markers. I think someone mentioned once that they are at Joanns as well.
They are made by Loops & Threads so you might be able to go to their website and order from there.

@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you so so much!! And please keep doing what you do!
Do you do the “buy me a coffee” thing, or any type of way to donate money to your business?
I LOVE YOUR PATTERN 👌💯THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US. ♥️💐🙏
Thank you so much 😀🧶❤️
Excellent tutorial! Your voice is so relaxing also!
Thank you so much 🥰
I love this thank you for showing me
Appreciate it 💕
Ecxelente 👍🏻 gracias por compartir.... Voy hacer una cobijita para bebé ... Saludos desde México 🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🌹🌷🙋🏻♀️
Hola! Thank you so much 😀🧶💕💕💕💕
I really appreciate your awesome work talent thank you...❤
Best tutorial ever,❤❤
I am currently working on this pattern and loving how easy and beautiful it is!
I would like to do a single crochet border all around the edge when it's completed but am unsure of how many stitches and where to put them along the sides especially... is there a video you could recommend that would show me how to do that?
Sure - I have tips on that with the first border in this video. Hope it helps 💕

Very pretty, I like the colors and the ridges effect. I like to know please if the 2DC together and the 2DC in the same stitch are directly on top of the ones in the previous row because mine are not. Thank you for your tutorial.
It should be, yes. When you get to the end of the row do you have 4 remaining stitches left (a dc in 3 of those stitches then 2dc in the last st)?
If so , you should be on track.
Great tutorial. 😊
Thank you! 😊 💕
Wow I love this thank you! 😮😊
I need to make a big blacket to keep my family warm in this winter ❤
I think you’re going to love working on it 😀💕🙌🏻🧶
Love your way of doing this pattern! And your voice is so calm so it’s so easy to stay concentrated on it. Where did you get throat stitch marker you used in the beginning? TY 😊
Oh thank you! They are from Michael’s. They are called , “the crochet dude stitch markers” 👍🏻💕
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!
I want to learn this stitch.I need lots of practice!!!!
You will figure it out, I know it 😀❤️
@@PlayHookywithMe I see different videos of it here on YT,all of them are different.I need someone to sit next to me and show me.
I agree with others who commented about a print version request. I think you could take the transcript and turn into a PDF and post the link in your video or put it in Ravelry for sale. Crocheting and watching video instruction simultaneously seems inefficient to me. However, the instructional video is excellent and once you memorize the pattern you don't need to watch any longer. Just my take. Have a great day!
Appreciate your feedback and I’ll think on this some more. I teach classic stitches that are generally available online in written form and started this channel to help those that are visual learners like myself. But I hear you 💕
So pretty and your tutorials are the best! Thank you for clearly explaining and showing each stitch. My question is about yarn..I’ve made a few afghans using dk weight acrylic yarn, and while I love the weight and ease in crocheting, I hate the pilling. Do you think cotton yarn would be better in that regard? Thank you for all your awesome videos…you have been responsible for so many projects in my household!!😂😂
I’m so happy that you’ve enjoyed the videos, thank you for telling me!
That’s a great question on the yarn. I have to admit that I’m using the cotton because they work so well for the videos but I haven’t completed a full blanket with this yarn to give you an objective answer 😕
The closest I have used and washed is a yarn that is a blend of cotton with nylon (créme cotton by loops & threads) and I haven’t experienced any pilling.
I’ve heard great things about the anti pilling yarn by Premier Yarns . I’m not sure it comes in a dk weight but I’d recommend giving it a try. I plan on it as well. 👍🏻💕
I am new to crochet and love this tutorial!! How do I calculate how much yarn I need to make a blanket?

Hi and thank you for sharing this beautiful video tutorial!
I love it. Can’t wait to make a baby blanket and lap blankets for wheelchairs for the local nursing home.
One comment, I normally use a larger hook , a 5.75 J hook, using I Love This Yarn #4 worsted weight yarn because I tend to crochet tighter . One question, what do you think about alternating between the two rows of color using front loop, then using the back loop for the next row?
Thanks so very much for your input.
Another question, would it be possible to alternate the number of rows ie two rows of one color alternating with three rows of another color and so forth?
Thanks again for your input.
I’m glad you found a hook size that you love. I have been thinking of moving up to a 5 lately but I keep reverting back to 4mm. 😅
I wish I could give you a good answer on the changing of loops but I haven’t tried it before.
I would suggest making a very small sample and trying about 4 or 5 rows with it and see what you think.
Keep me posted, if you do ! ❤️
Great tutorial, please share a link to the stich markers. They look so awesome, but I couldn't find them on Amazon. Thanks.
They are called , the crochet dude stitch markers.
I’ve only been able to find them at Michaels but someone commented once that she found them at Joann’s .

Ooo I've got to try this - looks lovely! 😁
It’s a rewarding one for sure, the texture feels as great as it looks ❤️
Ive learned so much from your channel! Thank you so much :)
Oh, that makes me so happy 😀💕
It's perfect ❤
This is a great tutorial
Should i just repeat the instructions for row one if mine is bigger
Yes … just make yours with whatever multiple of 12 you like and then follow along with Row 1 👍🏻💕
This is fun🎉
Ty for this im going to try this❤
Great 😀💕
Can not wait
I see a baby blanket using this pattern, in my future. Btw, hello Loki & Biscuit. It's always so cute when they insert themselves into ur tutorials. Lol 😊
😹😽 they think it’s all for them, I’m sure of it 😆
This would be perfect for a baby blanket 🥰🧶
Thank you for this video. I need to make a baby blanket quickly for an upcoming baby shower. How many chains would you recommend for a 36" square blanket?
I would recommend that you chain up to the 36 inches using the multiple as your guide to get close to that width.
I can’t give you a specific number because I don’t know the hook and yarn size you’re using. That will make a difference to the count as well as your tension 💕
This is sooo pretty 🎉
Very sweet pattern.
Wish you had described what you do with your tails.
Thank you … I weave as I go but after a few rows when I’m sure I’ve got my stitch count correct.
I don’t like to carry them while I do the next row because sometimes it shows through or I just plain forget.
I usually use the rule of three that I share in this video:
ruclips.net/video/VElsx623OcM/видео.htmlsi=lmg_Ym5kTDk_nQMd
@@PlayHookywithMeI viewed the video.
Thank you so much.
I am subscribing. I like your instruction style!
@@vajee5 that’s lovely, thank you for the support!
If one has patience, its a good idea to carry the yarn up the side,for fewer tails
Indeed 🙌🏻💕
Very nice thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you !
If I was to make this ridged ripple stitch into a rainbow Afghan, but wanted to do 3 rows of color w/one row of white in-between, would the look of the color ripples still be as pronounced?
I really don’t know for sure since I haven’t tried it. I’d recommend, doing a very small sample and seeing how it looks.
Thanks for the clear instructions on this pattern. How much width do you lose from the foundation row with this pattern. I want to make a blanket 30 inches wide so how wide should my foundation row be?
Hi Heather , I actually didn’t notice much of a change in the width, surprisingly.
For example , I did a small test and the initial chain measured 6 in . After row 1 , it reduced to 5.5 in . By row 2 , it bounced back to 6 in. 😅💁🏼♀️
I’d recommend trying on a test swatch with your yarn but I think you’ll be fine 👍🏻🧶
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you 😊
This is BEAUTIFUL!! Is there a written pattern to follow? I have tremors due to a bad fall and I have a hard time writing, at least so you can read it! 🤷♀️
I’m sorry , I don’t have a written pattern available but this is a fairly popular stitch so I imagine if you googled it, you would be able to find something. Search, “ripple stitch using double crochet increase and decrease “ or, “easy ripple using double crochets”
Once you get used to the sequence it’s very easy to mentally memorize. You could do a voice note on your phone if the tremors are too severe to write it down for yourself , maybe. 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe I never thought of that! Thank you! 💐
Yes, I go by a written pattern much better. Thank you.💗
@@PlayHookywithMe I was able to watch twice and get the pattern written down! 🎊 Now I must ask, those hooks…are they worth the money? They look so easy to work with…🤔
@@cindycover3675 oh, that’s great 😀 For me, they have been worth it but I started by just buying 1 to see how it felt in my hand . I have weak wrists so the ergonomic handle helps a lot and the metal hook is well made. I hold my hook with a pencil grip and it seems to suit that style well.
I would recommend the same thing, buy one and see what you think before committing 💕 (they do sell them separately on Amazon )
Love this pattern ❤️can u suggest a border?
Thank you 😀- with ripples I usually keep it simple so i really don’t have anything exciting to suggest. Personally, I’d just pop single crochets around the edge and call it done. But I would recommend you check out the video on how to straighten the edges on the side. Makes a big difference 💕

Where can I find that multicolor you showed? Thanks for sharing ur talent! ❤
Unfortunately, I think it was discontinued. I got it at hobby lobby before they decided to get rid of everything that wasn’t their home brand. You might still be able to find it but I can’t guarantee it 🙁
@@PlayHookywithMe do you remember the brand name and color name?
@@lisachavez1352 my mistake / it was a house brand. It’s called yarn bee “authentic hand dyed alpaca”
Color: maple leaf meadow
I hope you can find it - it was a 15 dollar yarn and I got it for 4 dollars. Only one skein, though .
How many sweet rows yarn will be needed for a blanket? Thank you
I am making a top down shirt that uses 2 rows chevron and 1 row lace . Their chevron pattern is too complicated for me so I looked for an easy one. Yours is the easiest pattern that I have seen. Thank you very much for it. Where did you get the st. markers, so simple to hang on the stitches without opening and closing like a safety pin. If you bought them online can I get the online address please.
I got them at Michaels but you might be able to find them online. They are called “the crochet dude stitch markers “ by Boye .
Love this 💕
Thanks!
Thanks so much , Suzanne 😀❤️
very pretty. wish the yarn used was listed as you did the hook
It’s just from hobby lobby - I love this cotton yarn. I can list them in the description box if you like. Just let me know 👍🏻
@@PlayHookywithMe Yes! If you wouldn’t mind. They look so pretty together. Thanks for sharing with us.

@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you so much😊. I had this rule imposed on me that I can’t start a new project until nearing the end of one…I am almost close to my last 20 rows of a blanket so I can at least start getting the supplies for this one soon. I just hope that mine turns out as pretty as yours. Thank you again.
hi! are you able to use a 4 weight yarn with a larger hook, like a size 8 hook and still keep the shape of the ripple? want to make sure before i do enough rows to find out for myself 😅
That's probably a bit too big for a weight 4 yarn. It can't hurt to give it a try but I'd recommend getting closer to the required hook size for your yarn. xx
Hi I would like to know how many chain I need to do for a throw? Thanks.
It will depend on the hook and yarn you’re using . I’d recommend chaining to the measurement you want to reach.
Typical throw sizes:
45 x 55 inches
45 x60 inches
50 x 60 inches
(Make your chain using the first number in the measurement examples)
I love this pattern so much and it's simpl and easy to follow but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong when I am not coming out right at the end of the first row. I use stitch markers and recount my stitches , I have even pulled out stitches and recounted but I cannot get the first row correct so can't go any farther any suggestions would be helpful.i also use stitch markers at the peaks and dips.
Oh what a shame . One thing I noticed with the stitch markers….place them on the upper loop of the chain and try your best not to pull too tight on the yarn as you reinsert your hook to continue making chains. The chain can tighten and disappear on you.
I would recommend that you start with a smaller chain and practice on it and then try again with your main project.
You’ll get it to work 🙌🏻🧶💕
If all else fails , try this :
ruclips.net/video/p8v1xEFmd5M/видео.html
Thank you so much. That sounds like a great tip, I will be sure and try it.
Very clear explanation!
Thank you! I’m so glad it was easy to follow! 🧶❤️
What is a good number of chains for a baby blanket. Doesn't need to be huge. Thanks!
There are different kinds . A receiving blanket is about 36x36 inches and a stroller size would be 30 x35 inches.
You can Google baby blanket size to see what suits you best. Then work your chain up to the first number using the multiple recommended.
I can’t say specifically since I don’t know the yarn weight and hook size you’re using.
I’d have to manually do what I suggested here to know 💕
hi, do you think the pattern will show if i only use one color?
Absolutely! You have the ridge from working in the back loop so it will help define that shape when you’re working with one color 👍🏻💕
Harika oldu elinize saglik cok guzel oldu 🎀 ♥️
Thank you 😀💕
Could i follow this stitch but with different sized wool ?
Absolutely
What kind of border would look nice with this?
I would recommend something simple … maybe just a couple of rounds of single crochets to clean the edges up . Otherwise I’d recommend searching other wave style blankets and seeing what they’ve done 💕
Hi there, this is my third attempt at a ripple stitch, I’m on the third row and I seem to have lost definition , it looks flat. I have followed your very instructions carefully , what’s happening do you think?
You might not be going into the back loop - make sure that you are going to the very back side to find that back loop. It’s really easy to miss.
