I've Fallen In Love With The Granny Ripple Pattern!

I was searching online a few weeks ago for a ripple pattern when I couldn't find mine on my hard drive. I found quite a few granny ripples popping up. However, after checking out at least half a dozen of them, and finding them very oddly complicated, I settled on one by Yolanda. Her blog link is at the top of the pattern. Hers is quick and simple to master, ever so easy. For my charity crafting team, quick-and-easy is our mantra!

Anyhow, here are photos of 3 lapghans I finished in this pattern. One is is with one size hook in Simply Soft, one in another hook with worsted, and the third in yet another hook size in worsted. Once I begin one of these, I just can't stop! It is addictive!

I'm pasting my adjusted version here, but if you prefer a pdf instead of copying/pasting, I will be happy to send you a pdf version - just leave a request in the comments below and your email/contact info... Oh, I truly do love this one... can you tell?

Note: I have adjusted Yolanda's original pattern to make it easier for my charity crafting group... you will find the original at the link above, as well as lots of others she's posted.

NOTE: MUST MAKE SMALL SWATCH TO CALCULATE BEGINNING CHAIN - SEE P.2- pattern is done working multiples of 18; suggested chain counts on p. 2.

(suggested hook: H for worsted)

 Chain 18

Row 1:  3dc in the 5th chain from the hook (loop on hook doesn’t count as a chain), skip 2 ch, 3dc in next ch, skip 2 chains, *[3dc, ch 3, 3dc] in next ch, [3dc in next chain] 2 times,**, skip next 5 chains,[ 3dc, skip next 2 chains] 2 times, rep from *across  to ** (end last rep at **) 1dc, in last chain

Row 2: ch 4, turn work, [3dc, in space between next two 3dc groups] 2 times,  * [3dc, ch 3, 3dc] in next ch-3 sp, [3dc between next two 3dc groups] 2 times,**, skip sp between next two 3dc group, [3dc, between next two groups of 3dc] two times, rep from * across to ** (end last rep at **) skip, next 3 dc, 1dc in top of 3rd ch (turning chain)

Repeat row 2 for pattern until finished.

Swatch and chain counts:

Make test swatch which is ONE point only (below)

Test Swatch

Ch 18

Row 1: 3dc in the 5th chain from the hook (loop on hook doesn’t count as a chain), skip 2 ch, 3dc in next ch, skip 2 chains, *[3dc, ch 3, 3dc] in next ch, [3dc in next chain] 2 times,**, skip next 5 chains,[ 3dc, skip next 2 chains] 2 times, rep from *across  to ** (end last rep at **) 1dc, in last chain

Row 2: ch 4, turn work, [3dc, in space between next two 3dc groups] 2 times,  * [3dc, ch 3, 3dc] in next ch-3 sp, [3dc between next two 3dc groups] 2 times,**, skip sp between next two 3dc group, [3dc, between next two groups of 3dc] two times, rep from * across to ** (end last rep at **) skip, next 3 dc, 1dc in top of 3rd ch (turning chain)

Repeat row 2 for pattern.

Starting chain, for width:

Measure test swatch across and decide how many "points" you need for your width

          Beginning chain must be multiples of 18, as here:

          1 pt, 18 ch

          2 pts, 36 ch

          3 pts, 54 ch

          4 pts, 72 ch

          5 pts, 90 ch

          6 pts, 108 ch

          7 pts, 126 ch

          8 pts, 144 ch

          9 pts, 162 ch

          10 pts, 180 ch

...and so on...

Length:

Make at least 4 or 5 rows high for gauge for how many rows for length
