However, an ocean shell blanket can also be made using different yarns of carefully chosen colors, not a pre-made ombre one. Therefore, here is a beautiful blanket that presents gentle color transitions, yet is made 4 distinct colors. In particular, I think the transition is well combined with the alternating textures of the color bands.

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.
