Get­ting Start­ed:
- To cre­ate this beau­ti­ful blan­ket, you’ll need skeins of acrylic yarn in your choice of col­ors. The bulky weight yarn will result in a cozy, warm blan­ket.
- For begin­ners, using a larg­er cro­chet hook is essen­tial, mak­ing it eas­i­er to work with bulky yarn. Check the yarn label for the rec­om­mend­ed hook size.
Start by mak­ing your foun­da­tion and turn­ing chains, and then you’ll be ready to dive into the pat­tern.

Basic Stitch­es:
- This pat­tern pri­mar­i­ly uses basic cro­chet stitch­es such as sin­gle, dou­ble, and chain. These stitch­es cre­ate the tex­tured rip­ple effect in the blan­ket.

Col­or Changes:
Change col­ors at spec­i­fied points in the pat­tern to cre­ate a unique and visu­al­ly appeal­ing blan­ket. Choose yarn col­ors that match your style and pref­er­ences.

Chevron Stitch:
The chevron stitch pat­tern is the key to the rip­ple effect in this blan­ket. With clear instruc­tions and visu­als, we’ll show you how to achieve this pat­tern.

Dif­fer­ent Sizes:
- Cro­chet­ing a blan­ket does­n’t mean you’re lim­it­ed to a sin­gle size. We’ll dis­cuss adapt­ing the pat­tern for dif­fer­ent blan­ket sizes, from baby blan­kets to large throws.

Video Tuto­r­i­al:
- For those who pre­fer visu­al guid­ance, we offer a video tuto­r­i­al that com­ple­ments the writ­ten instruc­tions. It’s a help­ful resource for new cro­cheters and those learn­ing the pat­tern.

Fin­ish­ing Touch­es:
We’ll guide you through the final steps of com­plet­ing your beau­ti­ful cro­chet afghan. Pay atten­tion to the last stitch, secure your work, and weave loose ends.

This Granny Rip­ple Stitch is Great for Afghans. It can be done in medi­um-wast­ed yarn and many dif­fer­ent col­ors of yarn. I used a H hook and cre­at­ed a video if you need more assis­tance.
