Gentle River Ripple Blanket
Afghans and Blankets
This gentle river ripple blanket uses bold colors to show off the popular chevron pattern. It has a timeless appeal to home decor. This is my second chevron blanket that I have ever made. The soft peaks and valleys in this chevron throw remind me of gentle ripples on the water in the moonlight. I was going for a gentle wavy effect and after playing around with the stitches for a bit, the look just came together. Generally, the chevron or zig zag look is achieved by increasing and decreasing stitches at regular intervals throughout a row of stitches. This color pattern is repeated 6 times. To make this blanket symmetrical, I added four more rows of the Cape Cod Blue yarn to the end. Blanket is a total of 64 rows.

To begin with, here is an example that combines simple stitches and and intriguing texture. Overall, it's a great pattern for a 3 color combo, but also it can have more, for example in a rainbow arrangement. That said, regardless of the color scheme you choose, the texture of this blanket is absolutely wonderful visually and tactilely. Therefore, this blanket will be one for the family books.
