Every major yarn brand has a nice worsted weight yarn like this with a great color range. You do not have to use this yarn for this crochet ripple blanket. I wanted to get this crochet blanket pattern up for you so I have not done that yet ). Each ball of yarn creates 2 stripes of 4 rows each. I will get 1 more ball of each color and that will make the blanket 65 x 55 which is a great throw size. This is the amount of yarn I started with and it made the blanket 65 inches wide x 37 inches. It is $3.99 and I used the colors, dark grey, linen, mustard and mauve. It is 5 oz, 258 yards and recommends a 6mm or size J crochet hook. This yarn is called Yarn Bee Soft and Sleek, Low-Pill fiber from Hobby Lobby. Here is the yarn I wanted to use for this crochet blanket pattern. You need a good set of hooks, these are the ones I like, and some yarn. The amazing thing about crochet is that it doesn’t take much to get started. The new version is 4, but you can certainly adjust that to 2 if you prefer.
Notice on this green version that the stripes are 2 rows each. Even as a new crocheter, I followed along without getting frustrated or having to count too much. In a season of reconnection and rest, and this is the perfect blanket to work on. We weren’t doing much besides watching our 18 month old son run around. It was 2010 and my husband had just come home from Afghanistan. First, I want to show you a version of this crochet ripple blanket – the first crochet blanket I ever made.
