EASY BEGINNER'S Crochet Ripple Baby Blanket

[@ofeliaigtiben2818]

At last, I found a very clear instruction in doing the ripple stitch. You are an excellent teacher. I am enjoying crochet during the pandemic. Thank you soooo much.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Welcome to my channel Ofelia!😊❤️

[@maryoliver4362]

Thank you so much for your excellent video and explanations. I tried the ripple stitch so many times and could not work it out. It was a pleasure to follow your video. Thank you so much!!!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I'm so glad this worked out for you Mary! There sure is a lot of counting in these ripple projects.

[@stephgoble7007]

I like your explanations. I made a ripple blanket many years ago and it looked more like a trapezoid. You were right when you said a child would still love looking at it. My grandson is 21 years old and he still has that lopsided old blanket which was bigger than a baby blanket. It was so soft but not crocheted correctly. Years later I finally took up crocheting again. You tube videos are the best. I am a visual learner so that helps a lot when I see a demonstration rather than reading a pattern. Thank you so much!

[@Face-bz6il]

You have such a calm voice .This is so relaxing for me. Thanks again .I am blessed to have you teach me this

[@patriciabeauregard9971]

Hi. Bonnie. I. Love. This. Pattern. And. The. Yarn. You. Used. You. Are. A. Great. Teacher. .thank. You

[@tamiadeas3754]

This video literally saved my life and time , I wasn’t doing the stitches right and I came across this video and I started to see the pattern . Thank you so much ☺️

[@sandygrogg1203]

I am sure I have told Yiu before, but Yiu are one of the very best teachers out there..I always turn to you, Jayda, and Glenda and Spider Spider are a great team.

You nailed this tutorial thank you ❤

[@KatheyJo1955]

I'm Just amazed how soothing your voice is and somehow after many years of crocheting my brain all of a sudden clicks and it all makes sense. U tube and you Bonnie are a godsend! Now my afghans are going to look like I know what I'm doing. I just want to say thank you!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

KatheyJo1955 that really blessed my today! Thanks for taking the time to encourage Kathy Jo!😊❤️❤️❤️

[@deaunnasparks7949]

I love this pattern. You are great at explaining exactly what you’re doing. I’m pretty experienced, but I was looking to learn a new and easy baby blanket pattern. Thank you❤️

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Thank you for your kind encouragement!

[@marianadeboice2659]

Bonnie, I just became a granny on Dec24 , 2022 and very much appreciate your lovey encouraging instruction of this chevron blanket! ! I love it so much!Your voice is so clear and beautiful to listen to. I am now a subscriber!! I also viewed the first of your several videos of that gorgeous multi coloured ,multi stitch Aphgan! It’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! Not sure if I am quite ready for such a large project..may make practice samplers!

[@linettelow]

Cheers for your encouragement in sharing these tutorials, Bonnie 🥰🎁🌻🌷🐕🐈🐾🐾💕 ♡♡♡♡♡ Baby blankets are my favourite to knit & crochet. I especially love the quote by Corrie ten Boom you shared recently ~ it moved me to tears knowing God hears our prayers (however small). That His love knows no bounds. Your channel & books never cease to inspire & I wish you and yours the most beautiful weekend. #Hugs Xxxxx

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Linette Low thank you for sharing that with me! I read Corrie’s quote from another friend’s post that morning and after confirming that these were her words, I couldn’t get them off my mind - which I took to mean that He didn’t want it to stop with me. I really needed that message and new that others probably did too. Wishing you all His best!❤️

[@nancyprieto2770]

You are such a great teacher!! Thank you so much for your tutorials! Just started my chevron blanket

[@joy6369]

I’ve been crocheting a verrrry long time. Love the way you did this ripple. Learn something new all the time! Thanks!

Beautiful blanket, can't wait to make this for my grandbaby that's coming in August!!!

Congratulations on that new life Maria! Children are such a blessing from the Lord!

[@1888mao]

Your not kidding about it being easy. I always wanted to make this kind of blanket but it looked to hard for me. You made it easy and now I'm on my way. Thank you.

[@beckybramlett3515]

You are the first person I’ve seen make a slip knot “ like me” !! I think it’s so so much easier . With me being a lefty, I had to use my imagination to figure out a lot of things cause when I started ,there was no internet and most books were written for a righty.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I do have left-handed videos available for all my designs Becky. You can easily search on my home page in the search bar. Just add "left-hand" to any title and it should come up for you.

[@christinehoward7867]

This is actually the better ripple blanket. I am making 2 one in this same yarn color, and the other I am using same yarn but am trying it in birthday cake for my granddaughters 1st birthday. I like it because its not completely symmetrical using any of the ice cream yarns. Thanks for sharing

[@vajee5]

I’ve crocheted a lot of chevrons in my experience, but I like yours very much, because it is very soft looking. Thank you for this!

It said a written pattern is on KZbin but I can’t find that. Do you sell PDF patters on Etsy?

absolutely beautiful , looks so simple would love to try this, I'm just a learner to crochet, so it can be complicated for me to.follow, especially if it's not in slow motion by the tutor. I'm using multicoloured yarn like this , hope my project turns out spectacular like yours. Thanks 😊 xx

[@sandygrogg1203]

I’ve been wanting to crochet this adorable little blanket for a while now…..Today is the day! I have the same yatn, but in purple.. Lion Brand”s Ice Cream is wonderful for baby blsnketd. Bonnie… You are such a good teacher… You are so easy to follow… and so encouraging to beginners… Thank yiu. BTW…. Chevron/ripple blsnkets can become addicting.. They are so versatile…I’ve made several, using pretty self striping yarn, thst makes every row fun.. I, too, had a QuickTime thst fascinated me when I was little.. I can remember spending hours with it..

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I appreciate your encouraging words Sandy! Yes, I've made so many ripples in my lifetime, yet there is always another color combination out there yet to try, right? Take care!

[@karleedu]

This is certainly easier than some I've tried!

[@patgiesler1553]

Hi Bonnie, I have just started watching your you tube channel and I am so impressed with your patterns. Your instructions are so easy to follow. l will be watching and working with you a whole lot more. I love the round up and down rather than the pointed. Thank you so much and God Bless you.

I actually have that yarn.. I’ll give it a try.. Just want to add that Lion Brand Ice Cream is a wonderful yarn for baby blankets. It’s so soft after washing... and the colors are wonderful.

[@aflowerthatbloomsinadversity]

It is one of my FAVORITE yarns!

[@surf1ncybersis]

Thank you so much for this easy ripple. I tried another pattern and got lost in it. I had sooo many safety pins in it! No pins required for this pattern!

[@sondrabowers4837]

Hi Bonnie, I’m watching you do this stitch. I think I can do it. I’ve tried Chevron stitch before & got totally lost. I donot have proper yarn. Need to go to craft store. Thank you for your tutorial, much appreciated.

[@florencemae618]

Hi Bonnie! I read in your description to add 14 if we want to make it bigger. If we want to make it smaller do we take away 14? I’d like to do one with a chain in the 80s range. Like a travel size blanket God Bless you ❤️ I love your Christian decorations 😊

[@annmarieleary1802]

I love this pattern so easy to understand Thank You I did the pattern with #4 yarn andJ hook this is my first time I wound up with lovely start but its 38 in wide would making shorter chain have helped when I use larger hook and yarn

[@nancyparker2842]

Love this video so easy to follow. I will definitely try this.

[@sandygrogg1203]

I actually have two skeins of the Strawberry yarn. Lion a brand seems to be my favorite these days... I have a wicker and cloth laundry basket brimming with pretty skeins of Ice Cream yarn. I think Parfait is my fav, because it has no white in it. This means you get a blanket full of beautiful colors. Thanks for the perfect chevron pattern for baby blankets... I think even I can make this wonderful little blanket. Did you tell us the multiple? I’ll go check... You are an excellent teacher.. I do enjoy listening to your instructions. You make everythung clear, and easy to understand. Oh.. I once made a big chevron blanket for my husband.. I thunk it has ten stitches up, and ten down.. After a few false starts, I had no trouble reading the instructions... This was in 1987 or 88. I gave it to a cousin, as a keepsake, after my husband died, in 2014.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Sandy Grogg so sorry for your loss. I have many other baby blanket patters in my home page you may also enjoy with your sweet yarn! I believe you can add multiples of 14 to the existing starting chain to add chevrons.

[@lilianamuzzone4410]

[@Lirin1122]

I just pulled out a whole skein I had crocheted trying to make a chevron blanket. So frustrating, its the only blanket my Mom thought she could make lol.... I love it and have been missing her a lot lately, the ends are where I was messing up... It is explained that this "After you have worked the last 13 chains, you should have two extra. SC2TOG, these last two stitches. Chain 1 and turn. Now, start the next row by SC2TOG" this didn't work for me at all... I had 1 side that slowly was working its way inwards :'( I wanted to cry.... So, hopefully you will make a steep Chevron guide soon ;) Best guide I have found!!

Hi! This pattern is perfect! I wanted to find out how much should my starting chain be and how much rows will it be if I wanted to make a 36 x 36 size baby blanket using weight 3 yarn?

Just add 14 chains to the starting chain for each chevron you want to add. You should make a small swatch to determine just how many chevrons you need to make 36" across.

Can you make another like this but instead of cutting out till the end show the whole way through the first 3 rows???? I definitely subbed

So sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. That is difficult at any age. The repeats across the row should be the same as what was shown at the beginning of the row. I'll add your request to the ever growing work list!

Hello. This is a beautiful baby blanket, I like the high deep valleys and peaks and thought that I could give it a try. I am a beginner I did row 1 with no problem. In row 2 the valleys and the peaks don't correspond in the same place as in row 1. I understand the concept of the 3DC tog. and the three DC in the same chain but it is not working for me. Thank you for your tutorial.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I would encourage you to rewatch the second row again and perhaps slow it down a bit. You can do this by clicking on the gear-shaped icon at the lower right of the screen. This will bring up the playback speed menu. Select a slower speed.

[@judysweatman7501]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@pierangelamurphy2551]

I finished the baby blanket and it turned out great, but I think the blanket needs a border. Do you have any suggestions or videos of crochet borders for a baby blanket?

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

You can check out some of the borders on my other blankets, but this style doesn't traditionally need one. Maybe a simple single crochet trim?
