Mystic Jade Ripple Throw
Feast your eyes on the Mystic Jade Ripple Throw, a crochet ripple pattern that works up quickly and looks amazing thrown across your couch for late-night TV watching. This intermediate crochet ripple blanket features an easy-to-follow repeating stitch pattern and fun, fringed edges. Use bright, bold colors as shown for a fun accent piece, or use just two colors for a more subdued and subtle design element. This crochet ripple blanket only uses four large skeins of worsted weight yarn to complete.
NotesThrow is worked from center out to one outside edge. Stitches are picked up along opposite side of center and worked out to opposite edge. Leave 7” [18 cm] tails when joining or ending each color for fringe.
