Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in three shades of blue and cream
• Crochet Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain that is a multiple of 12 plus 3. For example, you can chain 51 (which is 48 + 3).
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • Make 3 more double crochets in the next 3 chains.
   • Now, make a double crochet two together (dc2tog) over the next 2 chains. Repeat this dc2tog twice.
   • Continue with 3 double crochets in the next 3 chains.
   • Make 2 double crochets in the next chain, and then 2 double crochets in the following chain.
   • Repeat from the beginning of this step across the entire row, then turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 to start the row, which counts as your first double crochet.
   • Make a double crochet in the first double crochet of the previous row.
   • Make 3 more double crochets in the next 3 double crochets.
   • Now, make a double crochet two together (dc2tog) over the next 2 double crochets. Repeat this dc2tog twice.
   • Continue with 3 double crochets in the next 3 double crochets.
   • Make 2 double crochets in the next double crochet, and then 2 double crochets in the following double crochet.
   • Repeat from the beginning of this step across the entire row, then turn your work.
4. Pattern Continuation:
   • Continue repeating Row 2 for the pattern.
   • Every 6 rows, alternate your colors to create beautiful stripes in your blanket.
5. Length: Keep crocheting until your blanket reaches your desired length. A good size to aim for is approximately 50 inches by 60 inches.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.

Now you have your very own Serene Waves Ribbed Ripple Blanket! Enjoy the cozy warmth and beautiful texture of your handmade creation.
