HI Mary - You can absolutely make this with any weight yarn. It will take much more yarn, so keep that in mind. As for how many to start with, you're best bet is to work a gauge swatch to see how many stitches you get per inch in the pattern provided. Then you'll just need to do a simple multiplication to increase your starting chain. Hope that helps.

Can this be made with baby sport yarn and how many would be needed in the starting chain?

I need help with the 1-2-3 Ripple Blanket Pattern. The first row won't come out right no matter what I do. Maybe I'm misreading the pattern, but I am confused about doing the (Dc3tog) twice two consecutive times at the start of row one. Shouldn't there be a 3 dc in next 2 st in between? I come out a stitch short at the end of row 1. I'm so frustrated at not getting it right. Is there a video for this pattern? Please help me.

Perhaps the original pattern will help. Bernat also allows for comments, so if you're having trouble, you could ask the designer. Thanks, Krista, Editor http://www.yarnspirations.com/patterns/1-2-3-blanket.html?id=200777

Debbie, I sent this message to Krista to let her know the pattern has an error. Hi Krista, Row 1 has an error, so the pattern does not work. The number of chains is also incorrect. With A, ch 100 1st row (RS). 2 dc in 4th ch from hook (counts as 3 dc). 1 dc in each of next 3 ch. (Dc3tog) twice. 1 dc in each of next 3 ch. (Dc3tog) twice. 1 dc in each of next 3 ch. 3 dc in each of next 2 ch. 1 dc in each of next 3 ch. (Dc3tog) twice. 1 dc in each of next 3 ch. Rep from to last ch. 3 dc in last ch. Turn. The error In the second line (Dc3tog) twice. 1 dc in each of next 3 ch. should not be there. See Lion Brand Pattern Crochet Ripple Afghan. It is the exact same pattern and I have crochet this afghan so I know it works.
