Modern Crochet Ripple Pattern
Let's spice up your classic ripple with a little help from the Modern Crochet Ripple Pattern. This easy crochet blanket works up nicely, with the occasional v stitch within the tight rows to give it a little more character. What really takes this crochet afghan from classic to contemporary is the color scheme and stripes.
With four colors you'll create an array of different stripes, each different in thickness. In the end, they give a cool modern pattern to this otherwise simple blanket. It's a crochet blanket pattern you'll be able to use all year round.
