Crochet Wavy Blanket | EASY | The Crochet Crowd

[@jennenecampbell]

Mickey you have such a knack for making the most complicated patterns seem so simple. You were born to teach crochet. :)

[@TheMommyRach]

I have been wringing my brain trying to figure out how to ripple. Thank you so much for making it easy. It is nice to see you actually do it rather than by reading a written pattern. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@ChristyErb]

I used this to make an afghan for my daughter-in-law and I absolutely loved the pattern. Thanks for posting! This was my first big crochet project since teaching myself via videos like these in September of this year! Your videos are so helpful!

[@robertahubert868]

Thank you so much for posting your tutorials. there are so many people like myself that want to learn but are not able to get out and take lessons from someone. I can't thank you enough for what you are doing

[@awitness4jehovah]

Please, never remove this video. Because of this video, I excel at this stitch. I've put a few hundred hours into it, yet every time I start up a new project, I have to look you up because I've forgotten everything lol. I can't read patterns, so you are an absolute life saver.

[@lancerooke]

This is, by far, the very best explanation of this process I have ever seen.

[@patriciajones6808]

Thanks Mikey , When I'm in doubt about a stitch you always have the answer. Thank you for all the tutorials you do. They take a lot of your time, I am sure but you are so good at explaining things. I am positive I am speaking for a lot of others as well when I repeat the "thank you" from all of us.

[@vickieschaoticreality4897]

Exactly how I feel

[@karenlittle136]

wow! THANK YOU so much!....years it has taken me to try and understand some of the written instructions ....you have brought it to life! your tutorials make it so easy! I can actually make stuff now ! :) please, please keep posting vids ...you are AWESOME !

[@dee-annas3266]

You're an awesome teacher! I really liked the way you explained all the steps in a slow and detailed manner. I have been looking for so long on how to make this particular wave/ripple pattern and thanks to you, I can now make my beautiful afghan I have wanted for so long! Thank you so much Mikey!!! :-) Looking forward to checking out more of your lovely patterns!

[@DeborahWade1]

Just wanted you to know that you are a great instructor. You give very clear directions on everything and you're very easy to understand. Thanks for all you do. God Bless

[@TheMarcellanicole]

Finally,a video with good detailed instruction on how to do this method without having to keep up with someone that speed races through :) Thank you

[@Jellebeens1958]

I just want to say thank you so much for this video!! Thanks to you, I FINALLY got how to turn at the ends!! I am 54 years old and gave up the ripple stitch in my 20s because I just couldn't get it. My rows were always uneven so all I ever did was granny squares and then quit it all for years. I decided I was going to beat it one way or another, and that's when I found your video. You are so thorough and patient.... I'm just so happy I found you!!!! :)

[@101oogie]

Waves have been sitting in the bleachers for me for years... this is such a abig help,,, i'm taking notes and paying attention to the visual... your honesty about "fudging" stitches is cute,, only the good crocheters know this...i wanted to share that in the end stitch, i mostly go "into the space" for the last stitch.. is easy to find and sometime leaves a space which helps when trying to get a nice even edging..LOVE you tuts

[@foxybingo68]

I have never been able to even grasp the concept of crocheting until I saw this video! I have an array of crocheting needles stuck in a bag screaming to be used and I think they will finally see the light of day. Thank you

[@TheMissunderstud]

I've recently learned how to crochet by watching your video's, they're fab and this pattern is so easy, I made a blanket with leftovers from my mums knitting and it turned out great so now i'm just starting a baby blue blanket for my friends baby...Thank You!

[@Luckygirl280]

Mikey, you are such a good teacher!!!! I have learned 5 patterns/stitches from you so far!! You explain and demonstrate them so well, I'm so glad you are making these videos! Thank you!!

[@TheByrdy81]

My great grandma always made her blankets like this and when I taught myself to crochet some 10+ years ago I tried to learn how to do this pattern without any luck. I haven't crocheted in a few years and just discovered the bobble pattern that I'm going to start trying to do soon, but after that I'm definitely giving the ripple pattern another shot. Thanks for the great video!

[@aliciasloan2579]

I just wanna stay how awesome mikey is about teaching these crochet patterns thank you so much you have taught me a lot because I am NOT very well at reading the patterns just yet but trying to push myself to learn thanks again your fan Alicia

[@beepboopbop1234]

Thank you! I never understood this while trying to learn it on paper, but you explained in a way that was very easy to follow as long as you have a basic knowledge of crocheting.

[@ivywildwss]

Thank you for using a yarn and background so we can clearly see what you're doing. I learned this (Big Wave) from you over 10 yrs ago and it started my journey from knitter, tunisian to regular crochet!! Thank you! 🙏💚

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You are so welcome!

[@2618winslow]

Mikey you are the absolute BEST teacher on the tube! Thank you so much!!!

[@theresaa.3505]

Mikey, I was having trouble on a pattern to make a baby afghan but I Googled on how to crochet a wave or ripple & I really liked how you showed the basics of the ripple afghan, how many stitches, what to look for to make sure you are on the correct course, how to finish into that hidden stitch so the sides would be even, & without using a pattern what I needed to know before starting. I watched your entire U-Tube first to get the feel of how to proceed & then practiced along with you. Thanks!

[@mmarachel]

I have learned sooooo much from you! I consider myself a begginer. I have made a few baby blankets and hats and flowers and scarves. I know the basic stitches and the shell. The wave gives me trouble too. You made it make sense! I never understood when patterns told me to increase the size of your blanket do multiples of such and such. Now I get it!

[@gdarcie]

I totally agree with the previous poster! I literally unraveled 5 other ripples prior to using your tutorial! You have made it make such complete sense to me...finally!! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@pearlb8825]

I was stuck on how to ripple crochet and your clear tutorial helped me tremendously.

[@Willow216p]

Thank you! You have really explained this so I could even understand. I am so grateful and appreciative!! I am a beginner crocheter which I can only do the basic single and double stitch and I have a hard time doing anything else that is creative. I have been dying to make a ripple afghan and you have made it very clear for me.

[@sarahmichalk5012]

dude where has these been hiding? I have been crocheting for 10 years and am still learning different patterns and stitches and stuff. I learned the single stitch, the double and the shell stitch. now that I know that there are tutorials on how to do these bad boys I am beyond ready to enhance my skills and show people what I got and what I can do. That'll piss my Aunt off that doesn't think I can do anything good. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach the ones who want to learn. thanks

[@mariadelpilarm.7545]

This is the best tutorial I have found for this pattern, very clear, easy to follow, I love your tutorials Mikey, thank you 😊

[@shinedown207]

I have to admit this has probably been the easiest pattern to follow that I've found online and I love the way this looks.

[@mamahound]

I really like this stitch. I have made a scarf following your tutorial and I am now working on a multi colored afghan.....thanks for all the info.

[@luisaalvarado4419]

I've never been able to get the stitches right before. Thank you for being so patient and helpful with your tutorial. It's really appreciated for us slow minded people 😮😅

[@joannelaviolette3574]

Finally...can not thank you enough...have struggled and struggled with the wave pattern...could do a chevron with no problem but this beautiful wave stumped me...you mad it soooo easy to do!

[@roslyncotterell2428]

Thanks for this tutorial, after pulling it apart 10 times and nearly ditching the project the first 2 lines finally clicked in my brain and now I love it. My new favourite colour is Duck Egg.

[@miladylaughalot]

Been watching several crochet videos and yours are by far, the easiest to learn and best to understand. Thanks!!

[@waratahandwattle]

I love mikeys tutorials, im 55 and still learning, it is now time to watch this for the third time with hook and yarn in hand, thank you, I will let you know how I go.

[@LynnePedigoRidayReiter]

I am learning to crochet so I can make plarn mats for the homeless. I love your baby beginner video--so clear! But this caught my eye because I still have my afghan from my deceased mom that she made in the 1970s and it looks just like this! I hope someday to make one from your instructions to pass down in the family like my mom did for me! It's no "accident" I "happened" to see this--I will have fun looking at your other videos, you have a new fan!

[@sylviarivera8386]

Love the stitch, love how u teach. Never liked changing colors but u made it easy. Thank You

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

ok the problem is that this is totally different form the granny ripple pattern so you can't look at this pattern to try to figure the other one out ..... I thought you were asking about the video above....sorry :) Mikey doesn't have a granny ripple video but our good friend Beth has one. She is an excellent teacher and the video is very well explained.....search "granny ripple afghan bethintx" on youtube and the video will pop up..... I hope that helps you cathy@ the crochet crowd

[@MyNameIsZura]

I'm going to be teaching this to my mom today, was trying to brush up on a couple things starting it. I had a hard time finding the video because you changed the video thumbnail!! I'm so glad it's still posted, I was really freaking for a second there.

[@CreationsOfParadis]

Just now found this tutorial for how to do the wave stitch. I'm tired of the sharp ripple and wanted to try something new. I love how you said people are going to get tired of the #3 ... sorry, not with me! I've been obsessed with 3s for a good long many years before even I started crocheting! My favorite NASCAR driver was #3 (still is today) and the granny square is my go-to pattern for when I want something to do with my hands that's mundane and all I ever do is count by variations of the #3 (3s, 6s, 9s, etc) So once you said everything is worked in 3's, you piqued my interest big time!

[@kathyjohnston3749]

Thanks Mikey. You are a very good teacher. I have learned sooooo much from your tutorials. Please keep up the good work.

[@uthuthwhoomen234]

Excellent tut.... Just tired Ripple Af, it came out so beautiful, am smiling looking at the waves.... Thumbs up!

[@dyannalamb6151]

This was the most helpful tutorial! I really like your style of teaching and presentation. You explained and demonstrated the pattern very well, and what I appreciated the most was that you didn't make a lot of small talk while leading your followers through the project. I find that very distracting and it wastes so much time. So thanks for not doing it! I look forward to watching more of your tutorials and will definitely be checking out your website!

[@angelicadickerson5079]

thanks mikey you made it very easy to learn. I'm crocheting my granddaughter a blanket and this is such a nice one that she is gonna love it.

[@michellepyle2016]

My grandmother used to make us ripple afghans all the time. Sadly, we lost her last October before I was really getting into crocheting again and could learn this from her. Now I understand why she said this was the hardest easy pattern she used and always had to stop at a certain point before she would speak to anyone. I can't wait to finally make these for my nieces and nephews that were never lucky enough to get one from our Mawmaw. Thank you for making this so simple to understand and follow!!

[@2phoebehannigan]

I'm so sorry to hear you lost your Mawmaw, but how very sweet of you to want to carry on the tradition and learn to make these for your nieces and nephews! How blessed she was to have such a loving and compassionate granddaughter! I wish you the best of luck in making your afghans!! I don't know your beliefs, but i believe your Mawmaw is smiling down on you with such love and pride! :)

[@loveslesmiles]

I am running to my local craft store to try this. thank you for making it seam so easy!

[@BrooklyngirlLovesCrochet]

You are sooo right about this!!! I heard you say this and ever since I started doing this my work is coming out even on both sides! Thank you so much! Love your step by step demos. Awesome videos! Keep them coming! Thank you!

[@tanjahelmsfamily]

I have been trying to do this stitch for a long time. Your tutorial was great. Thank you.

[@PandaHaven24]

That was the clearest and easiest tutorial for this pattern that I've seen. I love it. And it came out just as it looked in the video

[@DoyleWilliams]

Thank you so much for helping me create my favorite pattern. It took me several times watching the end and turn to get it down but I have it now. You are the best. thank you for bringing so much enjoyment!!!

[@AUDREYAPL]

Thank you very much!!! I started over paying more attention to the numbers and it's coming up just fine! Thanks a lot

[@darlenemcclure6747]

Thank goodness for this video!! I've also tried the zigzag/ripple/chevron pattern for years and never could accomplish it! With this video, I FINALLY have one started that is straight on the edge. Thanks so much!!

[@mjlester1]

Best tutorial on the wave. I've been practicing for the longest time but had issues at the edge as well. Finally I can crochet a wave....thank you!!!!

[@ashleighmcclune7646]

I am really thankful for this video! I was able to make my first ripple baby blanket using four colors - sage green, light pink, medium pink, and hot pink - and it turned out beautifully! Thanks for the in-depth tutorial!

[@annemariestevenson2230]

I've tried this without this tutorial but it's made the edges clearer. Will have another look later. Thank you.

[@Sourmoons]

You have an excellent gift of teaching. This was perfect. And I agree with the below comment. Yours was the only useful resource I found.

[@Crafty-n-Krazy]

YEAH!!!!! I did it !!!! woooo hoooo ......out of all the videos I've watched yours seem to be the most well explained for me to catch and follow along with....... I cant believe it I did it !!! Thank you Mikey :-)

[@sharonbaillif2026]

I have just watched you Mr. M and I love your channel. 73 years old. Taught myself 30.

[@Thekatswhiskas]

Have been having trouble with the ripple stitch.. you have helped me master it...Thank you so much Mikey... you're a star.

[@andiemad]

Thank you for this video I am making this pattern into a bag for my sisters birthday and so far so good it is looking really good. THANK YOU..XX

[@kathleenmahoney403]

This is one of the best tutorials I've found. Thank you so much for all the info & step by step instructions. I had learned a similar stitch as this years ago, but needed my memory refreshed. Although a little different I lloved this pattern. Was easy to follow & great for an afghan to make using College School Colors. Thank You so much for your help.

[@mjsmom77]

Just got some Caron cakes and wasn't sure which pattern to try it out. Bang !! I think this is it. Thank you Mikey for sharing your amazing talent with us! I love watching your tutorials they are so easy to follow and understand. I have trouble reading patterns so you have made it possible for me to crochet things that I would never have attempted otherwise..

[@lint1969]

I struggled too with the edging before. Tried again today and thanks to you the edges are now straight :D

[@blackstonecat]

NOTE to self: To see how to change colours go to minute marker 19. Thanks for a great tutorial. I sure made a lot of mistakes on the first row and had to go back and rip out, but the second row goes a lot more smoothly. I really like this version of the ripple stitch because it has a nice deep ripple. Some other versions barely have a wave in the pattern.

[@racheldawn2210]

Mikey! THANK YOU so much for this tutorial!! I have always had trouble with ripples! Most patterns have you skipping a few stitches at the bottom point got get your "up hill" wave going! This is soooo easy now! I am making a Noah's Ark baby blanket and this is the perfect "wave" for the ark to sit on! Thanks again!

[@TisiaSimsGrammie53]

I'm triying to decide which pattern to make for my Grandaughters bed. It's a make over for her room. I just love all of your patterns.

This is such a great tutorial! Best one out there for learning how to do this. I have made a lovely scarf I am proud of and now starting on an afghan. Thank you!

[@ShirleyAnnVels]

Thank you a million times over for such a great tutorial! I have been struggling for hours over a book to no avail! You have made this so easy to learn and I am so excited to begin my ripple afghan.

[@TheChannyj28]

Thank you sooo much for this tutorial!!! I've searched for hours on how to do the ripple/wave!!!!

hello Mikey's videos do offer the CC option, just click the CC at the bottom of the video to activate it and you should be all set.... Cathy@ the crochet crowd :)

[@donnaday8813]

I am very excited this have found this!! I have been crocheting for years and always wanted to know how to do this wave!!! Working on my very first one because of this tutorial!!

[@Linda_Mayoh]

Thank you for sharing your tutorial. I've been trying to figure out this ripple stitch for years now.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

hello.....I suggest one or two lines of single crochet around the blanket it would look good and give the blanket a nice clean edge without taking away from the blanket....

[@readerscout4069]

You're a great teacher, Mikey! Thanks!

[@sweetamber013]

thanks alot i have tried doing this pattern for a long time but could never grasp it. But your video helped out a ton i appreciate it!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

hello..you would have to look at your project and figure out the stitch counts but you could start with a sc at the top of one of the peaks or points and then as you go down into the valley of each wave you could make taller stitches as you go and then shorter stitches as you come back up out of the valley of the wave...

I love love this tutorial. I had checked out a different tutorial and was so confused when it came to putting 3 stitches into 1. Now I feel confident that I can do this! Thanks so much :)

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

make sure your getting the stitches right that make the points or peaks and valleys....if they aren't done right the pattern will work up all up or all down .....cathy@ the crochet crowd help desk ;)

[@ArwenLynch61]

Thank you. I finally learned how to ripple today because of you. This means a lot to me.

[@nonamenoname42]

Thanks again Mikey for being my go-to when I want to learn a new thing. I'm trying to create a chainless ripple foundation. I make the peaks and valleys fine, but had no idea how to do the ends on a normal chained ripple. I recently made your Dragon Breasted cowl with a foundation crochet and is is beautiful. Sending happy vibes.

Thank you Mikey! Awesome video! I am such a visual person patterns make no sense to me! Your videos are incredible!

[@krystal2188]

Thank you so much for this! I have been looking for this stitch in a way that would work for me and this is great. Most videos show you the pattern but not the whole process of starting it and how many stitches to do in each set.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

the yarn he is actually using to demonstrate is a 4 ply yarn but I'm not sure what brand or color ....the yarn in the sample piece you see in the video is Bernet mosaic yarn which is also a 4 ply yarn ...hope that helps Cathy@ The Crochet Crowd:)

Thanks a lot for the video . I had a problem with second row and I was so ready to give up , but I took the time to look a few more times at the beginning of the second row and I got it ! Happy happy . I will send you link so you can see the blanket as soon as I finish it ! And I love the fact that a male is good at crocheting :)

[@myozbubble]

That looks really neat. When you went from the blue onto the cream color, I could see which loop you were putting in the three together and/or the three single double crochets.
