Perfect baby blanket gift for baby christening or baby shower, for a baby boy or baby girl. I love the colors used and the large chunks of alternation of colors.Can't wait to make this one.

In all my years of crocheting I have never made a ripple blanket. I think this pattern is going to change that. It has simple instructions and will work up nicely. I knit for charity and this blanket will be very appreciated. Thank you.
