The joyful ripple
Good morning sweeties,
How are you?
As you guessed from the title of this post, I’ve began a ripple blanket for my baby…Yes, babies do need blankets, don’t they? and I’m ready to make some for the little one I’m expecting…The first blanket will be a ripple…We’ll see for the others 😉
I’m loving this ripple more than anything I’ve made before (but this is always the case for every project) and I’m loving working on it…
Let’s see some pics…
Do you remember the yarn I’ve shown you HERE?
Well…this is it 🙂 The yarn is called Mirage. It is a 100% acrylic yarn…very soft and a pure pleasure to work with…The yarn is thin (crocheted with a 3mm crochet hook) and perfect for babies stuff…
This kind of thin yarn is kind of new to me as I’m used now to work with my nako and a 4.5mm hook…but it is ok…and I have difficulties putting down my joyful ripple to work on other projects 🙂 I am now totally addicted to it!
The colors are bold and bright. I love these colors for babies and I prefere them to the pastels ones… don’t know why…I don’t like to use a light blue for boys and a light pink for girls…I love bright and sunshiny colors for both 🙂 perfect against the mother’s baby blues 😉
I don’t know yet if I’m expecting a boy or a girl but this kind of colorful project is good for both…
The pattern I’m using is very simple and soooo soothing and relaxing to work on…I think it is my favorite pattern.
You can find it HERE!
I’ve began with a 180 chain (16×11 +4). Your beginning chain must be a multiple of 11 + 4 in this pattern…
I’ve made more and more progress since I took these pics…and it is turing out very nice I must confess…will show you very soon 🙂
Have to go now… I’m taking the girls today to the hairdresser for a spring cut 🙂
Thank you so much for your visit,
Have a beautiful day!

I simply love it… it look so complicated, I no it is not, but I like the look of it. I must try it in some point… It is one of my favourite stitch in crochet…
have a lovely day Arabian lady! x
Just found your blog and am loving it! Thanks so much for all the inspiration and patterns. With winter approaching in the southern hemisphere, I recently got my crochet hooks out again, so finding you has been extremely timeous. Keep up the great work, Kelly
Couleurs de garçon..?!
Les couleurs sont magnifiques, et on a toujours envie de faire une rayure en plus pour voir ce que ça va donner !!!! Le bébé sera très gâté ! Bonne journée
Somehow I completely missed the post where you actually said you were expecting a baby! I had to scroll down and check for it! Very many congratulations! I guess everybody is excited about the addition in your family! And yes, you should spoil that little bundle of joy as much as possible with all the crochet stuff that you can make! Have a wonderful day!
Hi Angie….Oh my goodness this is a happy ripple indeed! I love the colours…and the idea of using bright colours to ward off the baby blues…what a lovely positive idea! It is really nice to imagine the post that we will see one day soon of your little one wrapped up in all those ripples! Awwww……. Have a lovely weekend Angie (nearly there)… Hugs, Jill x

I love ripples!! And and also like bright colors for baby stuff…pastel one seem a bit boring to me…your blanket is turning out beautiful :)!!
That looks wonderful Angie – I’m sure your baby will love it! lol xxx
Such vibrant colors! Hope all is going well. I sure need a Spring cut. Haven’t had my hair done since December. :/ Have a great weekend. Tammy
Beautiful blanket! I have been neglecting my poncho as of late, but need to get back to it as my little girl and my niece both want a matching one!
Oh congratulations!!!! (A bit late, but since i had another baby myself it’s been a challenge to keep up with my reader!) I used your ripple pattern to crochet a blanket for my baby boy and it’s being used every day (and night). I just love it. And i love the colours you’ve chosen for your little one!
Thank you so much for the info you give!!!!! Your projects are beautiful! I’m very pleased that I’ve found your blog!.. Will be following it…because it’s awesome! Congratulations are your pregnancy!
Angie, Where does one buy the yarn Mirage for the Joyful Ripple blanket? I live in the U.S. Thanks, Becky
Mooie ripple afghan. Zeer leuke kleuren en in een mooi combinatie.
Groetjes Katelijn
Lovely colours and congrats on the pregnancy. Hope everything goes well for you. I also love ripple crochet. Made my first blanket a couple of months ago.
Regards,
Inez
