Granny Ripple Stitch Tutorial | Perfect for Baby Blankets!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I hope you like this stitch as much as I do! It's perfect for a stash buster project but also if you have a self striping yarn you want to use. I'm still away from my desk so the set up is a bit different. Hope you can still see everything clearly! xx

Hi Roz. I am one of your followers and fans. I want to take this time to thank you for creating a “Crochet Community.” I have been crocheting since my great aunt taught me in the first grade. It has always been a passion of mine and I have taught many people over the years including left-handed people (my sister is a “lefty”). I have used your tips and patterns to make crocheted items especially for donations to children’s hospitals, church members, veterans and shelters. They are SO appreciative of crocheted items. Therefore, you have also contributed through me.❤️ You are greatly appreciated, Roz. Thank you for doing a fine job and for your dedication to the art of crocheting. 😊

The yarn I used for the sample was “I love this cotton yarn” (weight 4 cotton yarn) and a 4mm hook. I believe the hook requirement for this yarn is 4-5mm.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi - not exactly . Just work in 25 chain batches and then at the very end add 3 more . That’s what you’ll use to help you “turn” and start working. For example, I worked 3 points for the tutorial. So I did 3 batches of 25 which was 75 chains total. When I got to the end, I added 3 more to help me turn. So My initial chain was 78 total. 👍🏻💕

[@PlayHookywithMe]

That always looks great, yes! You would make your granny squares and then fit them into the valleys of your blanket. Make your granny square with as many rounds as it needs to fit that valley area. You could either do a join as you go technique or a seamless one after the square is done. My favorite is the seamless join. You can find that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rl6Wep2pbryga5o

Thank you for this tutorial, it is very well done. How many inches would you recommend the initial chain be for a baby blanket? Thank you

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Based on the yarn and hook I used for this sample (weight 4 with a 4mm hook) i would suggest 150 chains + 3 at the end for your turning chain (153 chains total) This will get you close to a 36x36 inch baby blanket . It will be slightly smaller due to the shrinking from the ripple but only by a couple of inches. If this concerns you, add another 25 to the chain above. Also this will vary depend on the yarn you decide to use and what size baby blanket you want to make . 💕🧶
