Watermelon Mojito Ripple Throw
The Watermelon Mojito Ripple Throw is a fun, super easy ripple with a little twist. The stitching is 5 up, V Stitch, 5 down but in between the ripples are 2 front post double crochets and back post double crochets. This gives it a nice texture in between and it is definitely a nice change of pace from the usual plain ripple crochet afghan.
