Ripple Crochet Blanket

I thought I would tell you about a blanket that I am having a go at crocheting at the moment.  This is an ongoing project that I keep picking up between smaller projects.  This is my progress so far…

It is a ripple pattern and I am using chunky wool in grey, black and white.  This is a great project for a beginner and I have found it quite easy to tackle.  Here’s a closer look at the ripple pattern…

 

I have taken the pattern from “The Big Book of Crochet Afghans” which I was given as a Christmas present.  I love the blankets in this book and I am sure I will tackle most of them over time.

 

I am having a go at the “Rippling Tones of Autumn” afghan but have adapted somewhat.  Obviously I have changed the colours but there are, also, bobbles in the pattern but I decided not to include these and go for a straight ripple effect instead.

 

Bye for now
