I would like to make this blanket for a baby. I have already purchased Lion Brand Baby soft, weight 3. What size hook should I use? I would like the stitches to be fairly close.

Hi lsardone 3196948, according to the designer of the pattern, you should use a size G or 4.0 mm hook when using weight 3 yarn. I hope this helps! - Laura, editor of AllFreeCrochet

I have always loved the ripple afghan as it is easy to crochet for a beginner. Any number of color combinations gives the afghan a seasonal look red, white, and blue for a patriotic theme red, white and green for winter holiday themes or the warm golds, tans and browns of autumn. This ripple pattern is perfect for a traditional baby blanket when soft blues and pinks are used.

I'm glad to hear that this pattern is easy for a beginner since I'm considering making one for my mom and I am indeed a novice. This does seem like it would have endless possibilities when it comes to color combinations too! I really like the fact that there are different sizes available on the same pattern. That makes it even more tailorable!

Just started this afghan and am using 8 ply acrlyic and a 5.5 mm crochet hook. I added another 18 stitches to the 178 as suggested and it looks like it will make an ideal winter throw/lounge blanket. Using 3 co ours and it looks great!

After more than 20 years crocheting, this was the first ripple afghan I have ever made. It was so easy, I didn't know why I waited so long. So far have made at least 3 of these, and have gifted each one. I think this time I am going to make one for myself!

I have made 6 of these, 5 for babies, toddler beds and twin and 1 king size for my husband and I. I changed this pattern to DC and two threads throughout. I have always used Red Heart Super Savor for this type of afghan, because I know they will belong to those babies well into their adulthood, with minimal care! My idea of a good time is envisioning them with their blankets on the floor, watching TV, eating popcorn, picnics, and still be able to have it forever and ever.
