The joyful ripple

By

Good morniiiiiiing!

The first project for number3 is done 🙂 ! Hourray! and I love it! It is so easy and quick to finish a baby blanket that you become addicted and you want to crochet more and more! It is a really fun experience and you feel very happy to finish so quickly a project 🙂

Some pics of the joyful ripple for you my friend to enjoy …

Here it is:

The yarn is called “Mirage” and it is a 100% acrylic yarn crocheted with a 3mm hook… I really love this yarn…very soft (perfect for babies) with super colors …it is very similar to the Stylecraft special DK but a little thinner and the quality is better wash after wash…

I buy this yarn form a local shop here in Beirut …don’t know if they have an online shop…

The pattern of this ripple can be found HERE. It is a very easy to follow pattern and I love how it turns out 🙂

I did not make a border for this blanket as I prefered to leave it as it is and have the “waves” from two sides …

I am now on my week 17 of pregnancy… don’t know yet if it is a boy or a girl…will know maybe on the 7th of May (on my birthday) 🙂 as I have an “echo” (do we say echo in English?) and will let you know too 😉 of course 😉

I am not feeling until now any baby kicks …I am sooooo waiting for them 🙂 It is one of the best things about pregnancy…to feel your baby living inside of you…

So, my lovelies, that was the first finished project for little baby 🙂 The joyful ripple goes well for both baby boy or girl 🙂 Can’t wait to know if he is a he or she 🙂

I feel that I am on a little cloud of happiness 🙂 flying with birds high on the sky and I have all the time that idiot smile on my face 🙂

I wish to you too a very happy week  and an eternal smile on your face 🙂 Life is good!

Big kisses!

    Non Sucrette, ne demande pas si c’est une fille ou un garçon : c’est la seule et vraie belle surprise de la vie que l’enfant garde en secret jusqu’à sa naissance !!! alors attends qu’il arrive, ce bébé, pour te dire s’il est fille ou garçon ! Quoiqu’il en soit, ce bébé sera ravi de sa couverture qui est très très belle, bravo. kiss !

    Your baby’s blanket is absolutely gorgeous! What a good start for your little one to be wrapped in such a lovely blanket made with so much love 🙂 I agree there’s nothing like the wonderful feeling of your baby moving inside you. Maggie xx

    Hi Angie… the baby blanket is soooooo gorgeous… the colours are perfect and I love the balance of thinner and thicker stripes. How lovely that so many of us can’t wait to see the photos of your little one wrapped inside it! Have a lovely week… Big hugs, Jill x

    It’s beautiful!! How nice to have your first finished piece for the new bubba. How exciting to be finding out soon about the sex. Down under we call the scan you get an ultrasound but I love the word echo so much nicer to say ‘I’m going to have an echo’ then ‘I’m going to have an ultrasound’ Anyways love the blanket and I hope your birthday brings you exactly what you want. xx

    Good morning thank you for showing us your finished blanket. I see that the edges dont need any finishing. The pattern is extremly easy and works up really quickly. Thank you again.

    I live in the US, and would LOVE to find the yarns you use. Does anyone know of a source? I have never found anything even close to the beautiful bright selections!!

    A very happy blanket indeed, especially since babies are attracted to bright colors. I bet this will be the favorite. You know, “The Blankie”.

    Have a great week.

  34. Andrea

    It’s a beautiful blanket! And you really made it fast! I love those colors, lovely for a babie, boy or girl…. way better than the pastels.
    And live is in fact good! Have a nice day and keep that idiot smile on!!!

  35. Karen

    Ah! I love your blanket – such a lucky baby on the way! I am about a third of the way through my 1st ripple and am really loving it!

    What a gorgeous blanket! And so exciting, you’re going to have your scan. That’s what we call it or an ultrasound. But my in-laws in Algeria use the word “echo”. Echographie??? Need to work on my French!

  37. Sandy

    Here in the US we use both terms. Ultrasound for pregnancy is a little more common, but medical ultrasounds are very often called an echo. Your blanket is coming along beautifully, and I am so glad that your pregnancy is as well.

  38. WoollyBudgie

    That is a beautiful blanket! Those colours are lovely together. He or she is going to love being snuggled in! I’m so glad your pregnancy is going well and I look forward to the scan news! Very exciting!

  39. Akhila

    this is so gorgeous. I love the vibrant colors.

  40. Lina

    Hello Angie!!!
    This is a wonderful baby blanket!! such joyful colours! i am sure that the baby will feel so good in it!
    lots of kisses!!

  41. Susan Ernst

    I made a “ripple” in 1995…for my daughter. Shes ‘s 16 now. The blanket looks still like new.

  42. Kathy

    Your ripple blankie is gorgeous! And congrats on your pregnancy… you just sound so joyful.

  43. Susan Ernst

    Do you ever use variegated yarn?
    I really love the effect of using solid colors,though.
    Everything you make, is absolutely beautiful!
    Excited to see what, you will do next 🙂 !

  44. pippa

    I am just loving those colours really really loving them. I don’t know how to do the ripple blanket but have found a tutorial so must give it ago. I know lots of girls at work having babies so i’m sure i will not have any trouble giving it away.
    I love your blogg so bright and colourful!!!!!

  45. Any de Chile

    hermoso… me encantó….

  46. Lita

    So happy to hear you’re pregnant and what a lucky baby to have such a blanket too. Yes, we do say echo in English :0) The very best wishes for a safe pregnancy and happy outcome.

  47. heather

    I love your blanket! The colors are great and the pattern looks really nice. I like having the wavy ends too! Congrats on your pregnancy!

  48. Diana

    I love the bright colors you use to decorate! After seeing your Joyful Ripple, I decided that I wanted to make a blanket like that for my friend’s son, and one for our living room in the colors that goes with the scarf over our windows. I just love your blog!
