Crochet Ripple Blanket Patterns
Crochet ripple blanket patterns produce gentle, rolling waves by grading stitch heights or by pairing gradual increases and decreases across each repeat. Ripples are a classic vintage afghan style and suit stripes of many colors. The repeat is usually a fixed multiple of stitches, so choose the starting chain carefully before you begin.

How do you calculate the starting chain for a ripple blanket?
Multiply the number of repeats you want by the stitches in one repeat, then add any extra edge stitches and the turning chain the pattern specifies. Use a gauge swatch to find how wide one repeat is.
