Seaside Ripple Blanket

I am so happy to have finished this Seaside Ripple Blanket to show you.

I bought the yarn way before Christmas, but didn't start crocheting until January 3rd. I know because I wrote down the date. I also wrote down the starting chain, hook size, yarn colours and their order ... making it so much easier to complete this write up.

I bought 12 balls of yarn at JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts in Port Huron then picked up 6 more balls at Michaels here in London at two-for-one sales. JoAnn's yarn turned out to be the better bargain because their buy two get one free sale was buy two and one is free while Michaels' was actually buy two get one free. I bought extra just to make sure I had enough for a blanket to fit our granddaughter's full size bed.

To make this blanket, I followed instructions covering Ripple Blanket Know How posted by blogger Lucy at Attic24. This is not my first ripple blanket and it won't be my last as it's possibly my favourite type to make.

I love how this Seaside Ripple Blanket turned out with ripply stripe upon ripply stripe in colours reminiscent of the sea creating a blanket so suitably named. Check out the photos to see what I mean.

This Seaside Ripple Blanket made with love from Grammeo is folded and ready for our granddaughter. She can get it when they're here in July or we can deliver it the next time we visit them in Boulder. 

Technical details for my Seaside Ripple Blanket are listed below for the crocheters out there who might like to make one too.
