Ripples of happiness: graphic pattern

Hello hello hello!

I’m slowly but surely progressing on my ripple and I thought about sharing with you the pattern I’m working on. It is a very old pattern from an old french magazine I found in my mother stash. And because the pattern is explained in french I decided to draw a graphic for you my friend !

The pattern is similar to Lucy’s one but it is more wavy. The concept is still the same… it is still  about rippling and rippling :)

How soothing it is to ripple…mmmh…a delicious feeling after a rough day :)

So, here it is:

First you have to make a chain multiple of 14 + 3… I advice you to make a small sample so you can try out the pattern and once you’re confident about it you’ll start with a longer chain for your future blanket to be…

So let’s start with a small sample…. always always always let it be a multiple of 14 + 3… This is the magical formula! Here it is 31 (14×2 + 3 = 31)

These are the first 2 rows… you continue with the others like for these first two …

and one last thing:  Always remember to crochet 3 treble in the last stitch of every row…

A very easy pattern to follow you’ll see…You have to try it to discover how simple it is …

and remember…I’m always ready to help if you have any question… ;)

Happy crocheting!

    Oh wow. This is the very first pattern that I can understand.. I’ve been looking at everyone’s blogs trying to find a ripple pattern that I understand & bingo! Found the pattern with you!
    I might try a couple of samples to test the pattern (well, actually testing me) and also some colour choices as well. Maybe I can ripple a couple of placemats!
    Thanks for your inspiration, I’ll let you know how it goes!

    That does look like a fun afghan to make. What kind of yarn do you use? The colors are so bright and blend well together.

    Thank you so much for the graphic pattern. I’ve made a blanket with the lovely Lucy’s pattern, so will use your one next time as I like the idea of it being more wavy with more ripply ripplesomeness ;0)))

  16. Jen says:

    Thank you or sharing your pattern. I’ve been following your blog for a while and I appreciate the time you take to make graphic patterns. I find them so much easier to follow. The designs and colors you choose for projects are really beautiful. I bought new yarn over the weekend I’m ready to start my first ripple blanket.

    Je crois que vous parlez Français ?je viens de terminer le “Blooming flower cushion”..les bords gondolent,je suis donc retournée sur le blog Attic 24 et il semble que je me sois complètement trompée dans mes augmentations ; en anglais j’ai mal lu et fais une augmentation 1m sur 2 tous les deux rgs alors qu’il fallait sans doute comprendre une progression soit la deuxième augmentation 1sur 3 puis 1 sur 4 et ainsi de suite .Pouvez vous me confirmer ?C’est beaucoup plus facile lorsque vous donnez un”graphic pattern”.Merci pour toutes vos explications .Y.S

  18. Tammy says:

    Happy rippling to you. Your blooming pillow turned out beautifully too. I don’t think you are lazy for using a pillow form — I think you are smart to cut down your work time so that you can continue to create and ripple along. Best wishes, Tammy

  19. Susana says:

    Hola y gracias por el gráfico, cuando tenga un poco de tiempo, me gustaría hacer una manta de ondas.
    Un saludo.

  20. Tracie says:

    Thank you for posting this! I just made a sample bit out of this pattern and LOVE it! I am going to get my yarn together now and start a ripple. Oh and this was my first time following a graph and it was so very easy to understand. ;-)

  21. Saritha says:

  22. Barbara Reichard says:

    Angie-
    First, thank you for the graphic for the ripple afghan.
    Seondly, above in the picture that has the pink ripple row on top, there is another crochet mat shown. Have you ever shared the pattern or the full picture for that project? It looks very sharp.Thanks for answering. Regards, Barbara

  23. Esther says:

    Esther.

  24. [...] fin me he decidido a empezar una rippler. La culpa es de Angie Su última rippler es preciosa y su tutorial es claro y sencillo. He elegido lanas más bien gorditas (estoy tejiendo con un gancho nº 7), [...]

    I’ve made this pattern into scarves for all the women in my family. You can check out my versions at http://tastingjewishtassie.blogspot.com/2011/12/step-away-from-that-saucepan.html

  29. Carla Maas says:

    I really like the Ripples of Happiness Afghan but I am not sure of what is ment by 14+3. Don’t you start out with a chain? I would really like to crochet this afghan but I would need you to explain it in a little more simpler instructions.
    Sincerely Carla Maas

  30. Jennifer says:

    I am pretty new at crocheting and think this will be a great 1st blanket for me. What size hook did you use? Is it just up to your own personal preference?

    Thank you for your website, it is very helpful and inspirational!

    Regards,
    Jennifer

    I have just startet on one, thanks to you

  33. Christa says:

    I am new to crocheting and have tried several swatches of ripple patterns – and none of them are working out for me! This is the first graphic pattern I have ever seen and it makes it so easy to understand! I cant wait to try this one! My five year old son saw this blanket and said “Ooo, MOMMY! I want that one!!!” Who can refuse that? Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

    Hi Sucrette,
    This is my first attempt to crochet using graphics, so with that said, I have a few questions…
    what size crochet needle and how much yarn
    for a large size blanket? Also is there instructions
    for changing the colors for this blanket, by the way yours is a master piece, just loving it :)
