To summarise, the name says it all. Indeed, between the gentle texture and the soft but well defined color palette, there's little you could add to this description. This project is, furthermore, a great example of a pattern where the main stitching also defines its own edge, without the need for a separate border, if that's your preference.
Gentle River Ripple Blanket
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.
Dune Blanket
