learn how to crochet a cozy Masterpiece
0:02
with my beach inspired baby blanket it's
0:05
crocheted in the Ripple Stitch and the
0:07
Ripple Stitch is much easier than it
0:09
looks and this video will guide you
0:10
through each step so you're going to
0:12
need a 5mm hook and some Aon or worsted
0:15
weight yarn I used five colors for for
0:18
my blanket now the written pattern comes
0:20
in six sizes and you can find a link for
0:24
that in the description so if you want
0:26
to make a specific size and want to know
0:29
how much yarn you need for each size
0:31
then go and check that out for the
0:33
purpose of this video I'm going to make
0:35
a small Swatch so I'm going to start by
0:37
putting a slip knot on my
0:41
hook and you need to chain a multiple of
0:44
12 + 2 so one 2 3 4 5 6
0:53
7 8 9 10 11 12 so I've got 30 six and
1:00
then I'm going to add two more now if
1:03
you want to make a specific size then
1:05
please check check the written
1:08
pattern so I'm going to start by putting
1:10
a double crochet into the third chain
1:12
from the hook so we count one two three
1:16
so put a double crochet in
1:23
there and then a double crochet into the
1:43
three now in order to get the ripples
1:46
we're going to be working increases and
1:48
decreases so here we're going to double
1:50
crochet two together twice so to double
1:54
crochet two together you yarn over
1:56
insert your hook into the next Stitch
2:00
pull up a loop yarn over and pull
2:02
through two so that's first part of the
2:04
double crochet then we're going to work
2:05
into the next Stitch we yarn over insert
2:08
a hook into the Stitch pull up a loop
2:12
yarn over and pull through two and then
2:14
we're going to yarn over and pull
2:15
through all of those loops and then we
2:17
have one double crochet two together so
2:20
we need to do that again so yarn over
2:23
into the next Stitch pull up a loop yarn
2:27
over pull through two yarn over into the
2:30
next Stitch pull up a loop yarn over
2:34
pull through two and yarn over and pull
2:36
through all of those Loops so there we'
2:41
already it's starting to make that curve
2:43
it's starting to curve around and go
2:45
back up next we're going to double
2:46
crochet into the next three
3:05
three so now we're coming up to the top
3:07
of the Ripple here so in the top of the
3:10
Ripple to get that curve we're going to
3:12
increase so in the next Stitch I'm going
3:20
one and two both into the same Stitch
3:24
and we're going to do that again into
3:28
well so that's two double crochet into
3:35
Stitch and then we're going to work our
3:37
way going back down now so double
3:40
crochet into the next
3:53
2 and three so as you can see we started
3:59
up we went down into the valley came
4:01
back up into the peak and now we're
4:03
going back down into the valley again so
4:04
now we're going to do those decreases
4:06
again so it's double crochet two
4:19
twice like so and again
4:33
and now we're going to work our way back
4:34
up to the peak again so it's double
4:35
crochet into the next three
4:51
stitches and now we're at the peak it's
4:53
time to increase so two double crochet
5:02
one and two and again two double crochet
5:13
Stitch and now we're starting to go back
5:16
down again so we're just going to repeat
5:18
what you've done so far so I've
5:19
continued and we're at the last four
5:23
stitches we've just done our decreases
5:26
here we're going to put double crochet
5:42
three and in this last Stitch we're
5:44
going to put two double
5:53
crochet and that's the end of our
5:56
row now for this blanket I did two rows
5:59
of each color so we're going to continue
6:01
with this clay color so I'm going to
6:04
chain three one two three and
6:07
turn this does count as a double
6:10
crochet and we're going to put another
6:12
double crochet into that very first
6:14
Stitch so that's two into that first
6:20
Stitch now if you look you can see we're
6:22
going downwards so we're going to put
6:24
double crochet in the next three
6:38
three we're now at the valley so we're
6:42
decrease double crochet two together in
6:52
again in the next two
6:57
stitches then double crochet in the next
7:07
2 and three we're now at the peak so
7:12
we're going to work our increases so two
7:14
double crochet into the next
7:20
Stitch and two double crochet into the
7:32
and we're going to now start working
7:33
back down so we double crochet into the
7:34
next three stitches then work our
7:37
decreases over the next four stitches
7:40
then a double crochet into each of the
7:41
next three stitches and then our
7:43
increases into the next two stitches and
7:45
you keep doing that all the way along so
7:47
I'm coming to the end of this row you
7:49
can see I've just worked my decreases in
7:51
the valley here which means we've got
7:54
double crochet in the next three
8:04
three and then we're going to work into
8:06
the last Stitch which is the top of that
8:08
chain three and we're going to put two
8:14
one and two and before I finish off that
8:17
Stitch I'm only going to work the LA the
8:19
first part of that double crochet and
8:21
then we're going to change colors so you
8:23
can go ahead and cut your
8:27
yarn next color I used was this off
8:34
white so you're then just going
8:38
to finish off that Stitch with a new
8:41
color now I like to tie a little knot
8:43
here just to keep it secure if you don't
8:45
like knots in your crochet that's fine
8:49
this so then we're going to chain three
8:54
row and turn and we want this counts as
8:58
a double crochet so we want to put
8:59
another double crochet into that first
9:02
Stitch and this row is exactly the same
9:05
as a previous spr r that is the row you
9:07
just keep repeating so double crochet
9:18
2 3 then our decreases over the next
9:22
four so it's double crochet two
9:36
ice double crochet in the next
9:50
three and now we're at the the peak so
9:53
it's increasing in the next two so two
9:55
double crochet in the next Stitch
10:07
Stitch and you're just going to repeat
10:09
this exactly the same as the last row
10:11
until you get to the end and you're
10:13
going to work two rows in each color and
10:17
then change so you you can as I said use
10:19
as many colors as you like if you want
10:21
to see the color combination that I used
10:23
and all of the Y that I used that will
10:25
be and all the quantities and the sizes
10:27
and the starting chains for the
10:28
different sizes the sizes go from I
10:31
think it's car seat all the way up to
10:34
twin bed um so go and check out the
10:37
written pattern for that now all you'll
10:40
need to do once you've get to the end of
10:41
your blanket is weave in your ends I
10:43
didn't put a border on mine at all it
10:45
has nice straight edges but if you do
10:48
feel if you do feel that your edges are
10:50
maybe not quite as neat as you'd like
10:52
you could do a row of single crochet
10:53
just up the sides and if you did want to
10:56
add a border I do have a edging edgings
10:59
and borders playlist here on YouTube the
11:02
cute Bobble edging would probably work
11:04
quite well for this blanket so if you
11:06
wanted to try that out then go and check
11:07
that video out next bye-bye now
