And with this being a ripple it's so easy to make it wider and longer.

I have seen this Mom's Favorite Baby Blanket but it's only now that I'm making a comment about it, I'm actually surprised. I'm also just carefully looking how the stitches are worked on. This will definitely go to my collection of patterns for my crochet business. Thanks for this. Can't wait to start this project.

What matters is that the baby is happy. And judging from the picture, I'd say mission accomplished. For me, the ripple stitch is such a vintage blanket pattern and it brings back lots of good memories. I like a muted aqua, a light coral, and a deep teal for my colors!

While I am not at all a fan of the Ripple Stitch, the way this is worked (Back Loops Only) makes it very snug and cozy. Is it my imagination or does one of the photos look like theres a slit for the seat belt? I wish the designer had posted the size of the finished project because this might actually make a nice lap blanket for an older person or someone else who uses a wheelchair.

According to the designer on her blog, the finished size of the blanket is approximately 16" x 19". So, not sure how she came to those measurements using the gauge given in the directions but that size sounds much better and it only being 12 which is much too small for any practical use.

This is a cute blanket, and a great idea, but I am trying to make sense of the sizing as well. Your gauge shows 12 rows as being 3 inches. The pattern only has 48 rows, no repeats mentioned. Is it really only 12" long, or is your gauge wrong?

The gauge is for just a square. It doesn't take in to account the ripples

I make blankets for various needs and the FIRST thing that I look for is the finished size. Various hospitals have EXACT requirements. Without this information, I ignore all patterns, no matter how cute.

This baby blanket is super quick to crochet. I love it because you can use up your scrap balls of yarn, and even though the colours may not match, you'll still end up with an adorable blanket! The small size is great, as it's not as bulky as a standard larger blanket might be.

I am on row 23 and have made the 11 chains Does this leave a hole in the blanket or am I missing something?

In case you never got an answer, yes it leaves a hole that allows you to lay the blanket over the carseat and bring the latch up through the hole.

This baby blanket is so adorable. I want to make it yes for baby's stroller blanket or picnic blanket or when baby rides the boat. Thanks for having the pattern and the photos in front to make it easy for us crocheters. I have pinned this blanket.

This is a 14 stitch pattern repeat, so add chains in multiples of 14 until you have the width you want.

Thank you prelovedbooks for that answer, I was wondering the same thing since this pattern is adorable! I think this would look lovely for even an adult. I'm thinking of making one in this pattern for my bed in teal, gray and white!

I love your afghans. I tried this pattern a long time ago and could not get my peaks to match up. I hope I can do it this time.
