Crochet Spaced Ripples Blanket

[@ArtsyPups]

Thank you! Someone finally to show a visual learner how to count multiples to change project size! :)

[@bentoleisa1]

Thank you very much, I just finished this blanket with that yarn, very easy to crochet. Thank you!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

you've been busy.

[@kristina__marie]

You mentioning to look at the 3 stand alone DC stitches when working row 2 definitely saved me from miscounting my stitches & screwing up the whole row - thanks!!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Great. Sounds like you got a memory trigger on knowing what to look for.

[@reggie2685]

Tried out 3 other patterns on the premier puzzle acrylic yarn (bit bigger than worsted but not quite at that level 5 bulkiness, and using a 6.5mm hook) with success, but wasn't really liking the texture or look of them. This one really seems to be the ticket and it's working up great. You've actually made this chevron pattern quite intuitive. It's quite simple, but for anyone like me, the array of charts/graphs and written instructions are often so difficult to follow, especially with little nuances like stitch placement. If you consider some people start a row in the chain's stitch and others don't, there's a bit of ambiguity. That makes these videos all the more valuable

[@TheBashfulClam]

I love this tutorial. You made a complicated pattern on paper...very easy to get. I love a similar pattern from Yarnspirations called Growing Ivy but the printed pattern is not only complicated, but also, there are some errors in it too. Would LOVE to see you tutorial that one as well. I also love that we both hold the crochet hook the exact same way!

[@katekirby2762]

I love this pattern! Great tutorial as always. It really helped that you did the video with a larger hook and yarn. Easy to follow. Thank you xxx

[@belvagullett745]

Your truly my favorite in demonstrating 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@TheSrishtig]

I made a shawl using this pattern for my mother in law, it turned out really well.

[@winniechilton3553]

Thank you for sharing. You're a wonderful teacher. Thanks again

[@caetechclub]

I love this yarn. I'm knitting a pillow case right now with it, a beautiful coral color. 😊

[@mattiemkyle7231]

TY for teaching me this beautiful Wave pattern. I ❤️ your videos and you are a great teacher. Crocheting has become one of my passions in a short period of time I have made so many beautiful things because of the people like you teaching me. This new joy I get from making beautiful things helps me see and deal with my depression in a different and positive way. Thank you and keep up the great job 😊

[@edmuboro4582]

Awesome, perfect rug

[@silviaazucena]

You are the best! My first language is Spanish but after trying other tutorials in Spanish I definitely prefer yours even though it´s in English. You explain so clearly and well. Gracias!

[@larawilson8858]

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm currently 3.5 balls in and I'm loving the look. Can't wait to share the finished project!

[@SpookyBur]

I’ve already made this once but it turned out so well I’m going to make another. Thank you!

[@jessicahanson7554]

Im making my third one..its such a great pattern and Mikey is amazing.

[@mzzkeely]

I've never done a chevron! You make it look simple, I think I might make this for a Christmas gift❤️

[@lisamarieox9043]

ah I'm soo glad there's a video! printed the pattern the other day I've re tried it so many times!

[@leenieb9912]

Made several scarves with this pretty design.

[@orkids5551]

Thanks for making this pattern. I’ll be making a smaller throw Afghan this Xmas.

[@Blueyedrebel]

This seems like a good yarn and pattern to make a colorful ripple afghan out of. Thanks Mikey. :)

[@rpaulcreations7602]

Wow 👌..I would like to do one of this.. thanks a lot..

[@magsangel7570]

I love this pattern thank you so much Mikey for all your tutorials 😃

[@emadiazakari2424]

I love all your crochet tutorials thanks

[@laurafegely2662]

Excellent!

[@mpanstingel]

This yarn has so much stretch to it. Do you have any tips for keeping your tension consistent for patterns like this? My gauge seems too tight.

[@MATT-nc7ms]

Love this yarn and pattern. Thanks Mikey :):)

[@BeauBo-f6m]

😍😄😍 love this pattern

[@irenehermosillo8629]

Very pretty pattern. Yarn you used too expensive for my budget. I don't know how to read charts. So for me just the explanations of the stitches and how to make them is sufficient. What other not to thick yarn should I use? I really like the size 4 medium. Will that be OK?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You should be able to substitute with a yarn that suits your budget. Just look at the ball band for the hook size. It's easier you to look at what you have in your yarn collection and just make a decision than it is for me to suggest brands you may or may not have.

[@HaitianChica100]

definitely going to make this!

[@AnneBlond]

Is there a simple border stitch to do on both sides when you're done? I don't hate the border, but i think it could be neater. Does anybody have ideas?

[@melissabordelon8556]

Can another yarn be substituted for the Maker Home Dec Yarn and if so which is best? Thank you for your expertise.

[@mariesavino3291]

melissa bordelon I used caron simply soft and it came out beautiful

[@vilmawhitehead1058]

Beautifully done! !

[@Sethrocksalot]

I made a blanket with this stitch and I love it!!! I'm making a nicer one to try to sell. Are there any tutorials on how to do a border on this?? My first one's border bugs me just because I don't know if it's correct or not haha

[@reggie2685]

There are many tutorials meant for bordering straight edges on chevron patterns that might help. Were you intending to maintain the shape of the chevron? If you border on the chevron peaks and troughs, you might smooth it out a bit (more like a wave on the ends than sharp triangular points). I think 2 stitches on each point would do. Curious to know if you ever made it and what method you used to border.

[@sabinemcallister7000]

I don't understand, it seems to me that the cover photo is completly different from what you are demonstrating in the video.

[@cmaurizio19406]

It appears to me that the yarn in the photo is a thinner yarn and it also appears that all the "up rows" are crocheted in the front hoop and the "down rows" are crocheted in the back loop to give it that 3D look.. Just my first thoughts...

[@jomama5186]

Beautiful!

[@jadix850]

Has anyone modified the pattern for a baby blanket size and worsted weight yarn?

[@stonecrestquilt]

Oh its soooo holey!!! Big holes!

[@lisaclark9474]

This is probably a dumb question but I'm pretty new to crocheting and self taught so when you counted 5 in to make row one and you put your hook in the back of the chain foundation stitch do you continue to put the hook in the back of the chain for the rest of the next 8 double crochets? Thanks for any help. Love the look btw!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Yes, the back of the chain allows the starting edge to look like regular stitches. I found if you don't do that, one edge always looks like it's unfinished.

[@spikemom2003]

I was wondering if Bernat Maker Fashion and Maker Home Dec colors can be mixed and matched or are there differences that would be noticed or throw off the pattern?

[@bingyan]

got the link to get the yarn?

[@jaybsquared]

How long would this take? I’m new and this is so much quicker than knitting for me. Just wondering if tackling a blanket would be quicker like the scarf was

[@ayakhaled9843]

Thanks a lot but if I want it smaller for a scarf what I have to do ?"🌸

[@TruthificationChronicles]

Do only one or two repetitions of the 22 (depending on your yarn and hook size) to make it as wide as you want. Or, if you prefer the wave to go the other direction, do enough sets of 22 to make the scarf as long as you like. Then do as many rows as you want to make it the width you want.

[@natashabrock6354]

I printed a copy of the diagram and it says to cluster over next 5 chain made? I don't understand what that means it's wants me to the yoh til I have for loops of the hook but it says to skip a chain 2x

[@shannonlee081509]

Can you use different yarn. What do you recommend

[@sabihaali73]

Hi, I have finished on a down, do I still end the row 1dc 1sc 1dc in the same stitch or have I gone wrong? Just on row 1

[@sabihaali73]

I ment 1 ch

[@lucillegoudreau441]

Hi, thank you for this tutorial, is the pattern available. I’m new at crochet

[@susufromiraq223]

wonderful

[@popskltoes]

I couldn’t figure out why I was ending with the wrong number of stitches on the first row. I frogged it, thinking I counted wrong, and looked on the written pattern. It says 9dc instead of 8 after each valley. UGH

[@Sethrocksalot]

I don't understand, why skip 2 chains at the bottom corners when you're working into the starting chain? In row 1, when you work 3 Dc's together, you skip 2 chains between them. Why? I just started another blanket and completely forgot about that, otherwise I'd have subtracted from my starting chain so I wouldn't have to skip any

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I don't understand but it sounds like you have solved the issue and going ahead

[@Sethrocksalot]

After the starting chain, when the first row of DC's goes into the chain, every time you DC 3 together, why skip a chain in between them? That's what confuses me

[@annetteburke4737]

Mikey can you direct me to where I can find a full size diagram you did for Ripples In The Sand. Thank you for any assistance you can lend

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

let me see if I linked that in my write up.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I've not scanned the diagram I used to link it to the article. You may want to stop the video and do a screen shot. Then print out the screen shot.

[@annetteburke4737]

How to Crochet - The Crochet Crowd I was able to figure it out and thank you so much for your advice. Thanks for all you do Mikey!!

[@EquestrianKingdom]

I'm new to crochet, and I'm using a different yarn, and it's so hard to get my go through the "humps" on the back of the chain. It's there a way to make it easier? My fingernail hurts from hoisting the yarn onto the hook and I'm only twenty stitches in 😭

[@EquestrianKingdom]

*get my hook thru

[@annahapygirl]

You might be pulling to tight. Try a small practice piece with less tension in your yarn. It should look too loose at first, but it tightens up as you work it.

[@ashleymyers5531]

I struggle soo much with this pattern... this is my first time making an afghan.

[@marthamack6508]

what size of crochet hook do you use?

[@larawilson8858]

I think it's an 8mm...very big.

[@DH-qz2so]

"L"...8mm....he mentions that ... good luck!

[@michellewykes1589]

Attempt number 2. It appears i cannot count to 181.

[@sirguineapig34]

Michelle Wykes I have the same problem so I got a stitch counter

[@departedone8155]

Michelle Wykes lol when i count I get distracted really easy Lol

[@evarothenberg2339]

Michelle Wykes ... lol ... i fall asleep as i go higher in numbers and i have to start all over

I like but didnt understand very much

[@Anna42132]

I don't like the back loop thing , it get annoying.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Then don't do back loops. That's part of your creativity to improvise to something you prefer.

[@lucillechapman3078]

The Crochet Crowd pp

[@peanut0426]

You don't have to. He does it because it leaves a nicer edge.

[@NicoleDesigns]

I'm going to try it with this one.....

[@ebbieghilotti8686]

Although most yarnspiration tutorials are pretty good this one is not. One small mistake and you have to start alllll over this is a very frustrating pattern . I can’t see because your thumb covers the next stitch or three..., and the written pattern is different than than tutorial. The stopping and starting again for the explanations of the drawings totally throw me off. Not for fast crocheting

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm so sorry. I sometimes forget to crochet so it's awkward for me so the camera catches it. I'm sorry, I obviously got to comfortable. I'm surprised the pattern is different than the tutorial. I will have to look at the tutorial as maybe Yarnspirations has updated the pattern since this was filmed. I'm so sorry for also explaining the crochet diagrams so that it would be a visual tool for you to use. I'm also sorry that it's not for fast crocheting either. Obviously, I'm not a great host for you. I'm sorry.

[@ebbieghilotti8686]

The Crochet Crowd it’s just not a match for me. It has been good for many. It is a beautiful finished product but not my style. I just didn’t get the look of the cover photo like I wanted. No need to apologize.

[@jadix850]

He's being snide in his responses to any comment that isn't singing his praises. That's the one thing I dislike.
