Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 120 stitches. Make sure your chain is not too tight; it should be comfortable to work with.
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • *In the next 3 chains, make a dc.
   • Next, make a dc2tog (double crochet two together) over the next 2 chains.
   • Repeat the dc2tog over the next 2 chains.
   • Make a dc in the next 3 chains.
   • Make 2 dc in the next chain.
   • Make 2 dc in the following chain.
   • Repeat from * across the row until you reach the end. Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Make a dc in the first dc of the previous row.
   • *Make a dc in the next 3 dc.
   • Make a dc2tog over the next 2 dc.
   • Repeat the dc2tog over the next 2 dc.
   • Make a dc in the next 3 dc.
   • Make 2 dc in the next dc.
   • Make 2 dc in the following dc.
   • Repeat from * across the row, ending with 2 dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. Keep your tension consistent to maintain the ripple pattern.
