You are a very good teacher, your voice is clear and concise and slow enough to follow easily! Thank you very much!!
Good morning Bonnie
You hit the NAIL on the head for me. Thank you you ROCK.
Found your video for the first time and fell in love. Just started one of these using colors navy and white for a boy. Thank you for the help.
Absolutely gorgeous
I used double crochet because it is easier to see in the evening! Love it! Thank you!
I love this so much it looks beautiful with the variegated yarn!!! Great tutorial!!!
Love this ripple easy stitches.
My grandmother made one for a wedding present and i still have it. I don't use it. This is the grandmother who I crochet together with, I got my love for crocheting from her,
What a special treasure Leeora!
That is so lovely. Xx
Bonnie.. I love this one! I can’t wait to try it..
You explain so well. Love using your name.
Thank you n God bless you
I learned this one when I made it 40 years ago for my second son. It works up easily and lovely.
Thank you for you wonderful tutorial...you made it so easy to follow.
Beautiful baby blanket
It is beautiful. I have some yarn I'm going to make it.
Beautiful 💕
lovely pattern, certainly going to give it a try.
Absolutely lovely Thankyou for sharing 😊
Georgous.. I love that yarn and would love the solid in white It's a shame it's been discontinued. Thank you so so much for teaching us this gorgeous stitch🤗😊♥️
Super easy tutorial to follow along. Thanks for sharing 😊
My pleasure Sandra!
Love love it thank you
You are my inspirational mentor ❤. I'm so happy to follow you because you give me so many projects to choose from.
I've been wanting to make a simple ripple. Thank you for the directions.
My pleasure Linda!

Beautifully thank you very much
Gracias por compartirnos tan lindo proyecto 💖👏👏👏😃
I love it…
Very pretty❤
Thats an easy one...I love chevrons...👍❣
Yes, I learned this stitch back in the 1970's, and there is no end to the color combinations you can do for this one!
Hey Bonnie, I’m thinking about using this pattern and then converting it to fit a babies car seat by putting slits or spaces into it so that you can do up the baby harness and keep the blanket in place. Such a pretty blanket and again, clear instruction, much appreciated . 🥰. Stay safe and well. Thanks from Australia 🐨🦘😷
Thank you Lesley! Wishing you all the best!
Love this one......definitely going to make!!!
Thanks you ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your wonderful videos 😊😊😊
My pleasure Julia!
Bonnie, THANK-YOU so much for explaining, at the 4:36 minute mark, doing 2 single crochet stitches in the same chain stitch once you've turned to start the 2nd row. I've been planning a 10 Chevron pattern aphgan, yet, no crochet channel EVER explained that turn stitching process. They'd ALWAYS "gloss" right over it!🥺😵 My pattern is 25 single crochet stitches per Chevron! Stay on pattern on help the "newb"s like me. I'm 58 & have been crocheting since I was 5 years old. Left handedly here and I crochet left to right (backwards). Doug
Great tutorial!!!
Thank you Suzi!
I learned this as a (7 (1/2 double stitch) down, then skip 3 bottom, then 7 up then add 3 top, then 7down and repeat all in back loop) it was always lovely
Excellent tutorial. I'm going to go buy yarn tomorrow. I hope I can do it. I have a cast on my hand and foot. I got to do something.
Thanks for sharing, definitely on my to make list. I'm just making a big throw for my daughter in basket weave stitch. 👍
Thanks you 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕
I remember when everyone that crocheted was making those back in the 60's & 70's
Yes indeed! I made several using 8 different colors that came in a kit. 😊❤️
@@BonnieBayCrochet thank you
I love this pattern I did one for sister- in- law thank you for sharing I never figured out the starting chain I just did a chain and figured the number of ripples and when had my measurements I just took rest of chain out and sewed in ends
Awsum
❤Beautiful
To learn this pattern I took all my scraps and joined them altogether into bigger balls then started to do the pattern has my grandmother explained to me when was doing hers so to practice I used all my scraps when it got long enough for blanket my father claimed it for himself good thing I wasn't going to add more on - HE LOVED IT
What a wonderful memory! I still have one that I made for my late father. It too was a favorite of his and he even accidentally made a small hole in it (which will never be repaired because it reminds me of him). It's a keep sake of mine.
بسم الله ماشا؛ الله تسلم ايدك رووووووووعه
I have TRIED for 2 yrs to make sense out of other YT Vloggers to make this Ripple Stitch Pattern!!
How is it that watching you, it made EVERYTHING CLICK!!???? I have wanted to make this pattern for 6 yrs since my Mom passed. It was the next stitch she was going to teach me and she suddenly died (from cancer. We thought she was doing better, but died within 4 days of being told she was getting better! (??) ) Anyway, I never did learn the stitch and have tried so hard to learn it!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
So so very sorry for your loss. I too lost my mom in 2018, and as you know this is terribly hard. So glad that you can do this stitch now! It can be a real stinker with all the counting involved, but once you get used to that it can be a rather easy stitch. Wishing you all the best!😊❤️
@@BonnieBayCrochet Bonnie, Thank you.
Sorry for your loss as well.
Losing a parent is difficult no matter how old we are, and losing our moms, well, it has been difficult for me. My sisters (2) and I were very close to my mom (and dad too, I was a daddy's girl) but there's just something about losing your mom that is so difficult, for most of us, I think. I will say that I do miss her every day. She spent time with all three of us, and we saw each other daily. (we all live pretty close to each other)
I just watched your video again, and I've made 6 rows already!!! I am so thrilled.
My youngest sister's 45th Wedding Anniversary is in July, and I am going to make a couch throw for her using this stitch. Thought about using her wedding colors, but not sure it would go with her living room (LOL!)
After making that, I am going to make another Ripple Blanket for my older sister for Christmas.
I can't wait to try some more of your projects!!!
Again, thanks so much!
@@holiday-td6hx that's great! Take care...
Hello Bonnie. I love your channel. You’re the best teacher ever! If I wanted to use a HDC in this pattern, how many chains would I add to the starting stitch count? It’ll take me forever if I use SC as this will be a crib blanket. Thanks so much! 😊
This is so beautiful. Would you consider showing us how to make a cable pattern baby or toddler sweater? Thank you Bonnie.
There are a few cabled baby blankets on my channel. 😊
I really enjoy this stitch! Thanks for sharing. Can I get a written copy?
Hi Bonnie,
How do you edge a Ripple blanket?
Love your video’s!
I wanted to make the blanket bigger so I continued the pattern all the way around the circumference of the blanket connecting at the beginning of the row then chain one and turn it around to get the ripple effect. It kind of looks like a border in the sides.
Hey your the first person I’ve been able to follow thanks so much x can I make a long ankle length cardigan with this stitch how would I work it out please thanks so much xx
That would involve a new design to make this into a long cardigan. I do have other sweaters on my channel.
Love this. Could you use hdc please
You can try a small swatch and see what you think. I do have other versions of the ripple on my home page.
❤
Hi Bonnie! Love all your work and have been learning a lot from you after my 50 years of crocheting...one thing I want to ask is why do you skip only 1 loop at the bottom of row 1 but then you skip 2 at the same spot for rows 2 and beyond. I tried it both ways and there is less of a curved base with 2 skips, however pointer. Thank you for sharing your expertise and wisdom.
Things just differ a bit when working in the starting chain.😊
I am sooooo happy you posted this, as I found a similar pattern in a bulk yarn and being a beginner did not know how to change the yar weight, searched for you and there it is!!! Do you think this would work well in an hombre or multi stripe yarn? or does it look best in the way you did it.. Thank you can't wait to start. I will more than likely look for a med weight #4 yarn and the appropriate needle size would I need to go up in the needle size?
Yes, I would bump up the crochet hook/needle size to match your yarn. A size I (or 9/5.00mm) should work well with a worsted weight yarn. This pattern can be varied in so many ways. Using contrasting colors to show off the chevrons works best. You can vary the width of the stripes too.
How many chain do i need for single be
Like your pattern and tutorial. My mother made a ripple afghan which I think was a progressive ripple. It started with 3sc peak and 3sc skip 2 then 5sc then 7sc then 9sc then 11sc then 13sc twice and back down to 3sc. Hope I explained it ok. Can't find a pattern. Any suggestions?
Add the multiples up as you remember and work your own version. If you overestimate the number of chains you can always take them out later (even have s video on this.
Can you tell me how many stitches I should start with for a baby blanket? Thank you. That was so very helpful..
This is a baby blanket size. You should be fine with it as explained.
Hello, I love this pattern! I was wondering if I could use this pattern with a half double crochet stitch?
Great question. I do have other versions of the ripple that you may be interested in checking out. Using a larger stitch will change the characteristics of this design a bit. Here are some other options: www.youtube.com/@BonnieBayCrochet/search?query=ripple
Ok how does the chain 2 factor in the chain in the 2nd chain. It's not counted in? With the chain. Thank you sue.
I'm enjoying your ripple patterns very much, even thought I already know how to make ripples, which were very hard art first. My question is regarding ripple patterns in general,. Almost all go "downhill" first. I wonder why that is??? I mean, Jack & Jill went up the hill first before tumbling down. I haven't figured out how to modify ripple patterns to go uphill first since the beginning & ending of rows is so critical.
If you work the top instead of the valley first, that should change this without a problem. I’ve made these both ways.😊
What border would you do for this pattern
I love this pattern. Can you also use half double crochet for this instead of single crochet?
You certainly could, but be sure to use chain-2 turning chains. I have several other versions of ripples on my channel.
@@BonnieBayCrochet okay thanks so much. I am going to give it a try. I love how you teach and have made many of your pieces. Thanks for getting back so quickly.
So lovely Bonnie, you explain what to do so beautifully thank you. Your voice reminds me of the wonderful Kathy Bates xx 💕
I have started the easy granny ripple and would like to alternate sectionsvof stitches between this ripple and the granny stitch. How can I do that?
That's an excellent question, but one that would require another design. I do have a ripple granny square blanket on my channel. Would all depend upon how many stitches you wish to include in each chevron.
Can I use dc instead of sc?
Thank you for this pattern. I make items for charity .. I can see me making many little afghans.😊
I think this will greatly change the design. I do have some other ripple patterns in this playlist that use larger stitches: www.youtube.com/@BonnieBayCrochet/search?query=ripple%20baby%20blanket
Exactly how many rows is this I'm making this now
I want to make mine 80" wide. Am i figuring this right ? I will need 378 chains to start. I love this and am a newbie.
Not really sure since there are many variables in your question Kristee. You can always add more chains the you think you need, and then remove the extras once you complete the first row. Just be sure to leave the starting slip knot loose to do this.
This looks great.
Hi Bonnie, How many chains would I need to make a blanket for premmy babies? I have started making blankets (granny square style) for premmy babies.
Thanks
If you are making these about 12" wide, you will need to subtract 64 chains from the starting chain (or 16 chains for each chevron you subtract from the original 8 chevrons). This will give you a piece 4 chevrons wide.
@@BonnieBayCrochet thank you for that information
Can you do this in dbc so it is quicker to make
You can try a small swatch and see what you think! I do have other versions on my channel that use double crochets.
Can you give me an idea on a border??? My first ever Chevron style baby blanket
Honestly Roberta, I've never used one on this style, either large or small.
@@BonnieBayCrochet that’s great I’m finished with my baby blanket.. Thanks so very much for sharing
@@robertaweddington2158 My pleasure!
Agathe power
Could you please tell me the finished size of this blanket? I tried clicking the link here for directions but it says not available anymore.
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Hi can I used one clours for this pattern
Great question! You can, but the ripple pattern won't show nearly as much. This really works best with at least 2 contrasting colors of yarn.
I am doing a ripple blanket and i want to put a border on it do you have ny suggestions?
Traditionally this style doesn't really need one. You can work a simple sc trim along the sides.
@@BonnieBayCrochet thank you
Hi, how much yarn do you need to make this blanket. You mentioned 2 different totals?
Also what size is the blanket?
Thanks D Stevens
You will need approximately 800 yards total.
@@BonnieBayCrochet thanks
I would like to download the pattern, how can I do that?
I have the links in the video description.
I got confused at the start of row 2 first you say skip one and then sc in next 7 then you say skip 2 and sc in next 7 then 3 sc at the top but I'm at the bottom. Should the skip one on be there?
Thank you for pointing this out to me TammyH 730! This is in the process of being corrected. For Rows 2 through the end of the project, you should skip 2 stitches in the valley of the chevrons. I'm so sorry this was so confusing. Thanks in advance for your patience.
@@BonnieBayCrochet thank you 😊
I am making a baby blanket from this tutorial. I’ve got to have it finished by next week. I have frogged it at least 5 times. It keeps growing on one end. Instead of 2 stitched in the first & 7 sc in the next 7. I keep getting 2 stitches in the first & then at least 9 in the next 9 stitches before reaching my upwards peak. What am I doing wrong???
Are you skipping stitches for the valley of the chevrons? If you aren’t, that could be the issue. This is heavy on counting stitches.
@@BonnieBayCrochet I don’t think I am. One issue I found late last night - I had 3 chevrons in a row. I must have been asleep. Lol. I frogged that. I am still coming up with 2 extra stitches each row on one end. I think it has to do with the 2 sc in the first stitch.
@@BonnieBayCrochet but I can’t figure out what to do.
@@reginatripp7492 you can always send me photos of the issue and I can see if I can pinpoint the issue. My email is bonniebay@me.com.
@@BonnieBayCrochet ok I will try to send u a pic. Thank you so much for replying.
Just to verify…the base chain working the single crochet, in the valley you skip one, but in the other rows you skip two?
Yes, that is correct.

I only count 7 Chevrons. I chained 130?
sorry I counted wrong
Why do you do two single crochet in the first and last stitch please
Great question Patricia. These stitches help to define this pattern and keep the edges from rolling inward.
Bonnie, who taught you to crochet?
I learned how to make my first crochet stitches from my next door neighbor's mom, and how to read crochet patterns from my best friend's mom....about 50 years ago!
@@BonnieBayCrochet That is amazing. Your work is truly gorgeous.
@@BonnieBayCrochet you must have been very young when you started because you look young now!!! You do great work!!!!
@@sandraouaguena296 thank you! Learned when I was 7, but joking tell folks I learned before I was born!🤣🤣🤣
@@BonnieBayCrochet haha I would believe you!!!
7!? Amazing!!
Hi how are you? Is that chain cheat of 130 for a baby blanket?
Yes, a baby blanket using a #3 weight yarn. If you use a worsted (#4) weight, your dimensions will be larger.
how come you skipped 1 in row1 and skipped 2 in row 2? I sk.2 every row
Why should be the count for double crochet

@@BonnieBayCrochet oh ok 😊 love your work have already done a few blankets from you ☺️
BONNIE YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT A STITCH IS NOT A CHAIN.............A CHAIN IS A MULTIPLE OF STITCHES OR LINKS IN A STEEL CHAIN!!!!!
I understand Janice. I generally don't count them as stitches, but the Craft Yarn Council of American (as well as other professional publishers) do count them as stitches. I just like to be clear as to how I treat them in stitch counts.
