How to Crochet the Ocean Waves Blanket Pattern from Yarnspirations.com.

Hello! This is a very beginner-friendly ripple pattern from Yarnspirations called the Free Red Heart Ocean Waves Throw.

I have substituted using Bernat Softee Cotton in Aqua Mist, Clear White and Feather Gray. I used 4 skeins of Clear White and one each of Aqua Mist and Feather Gray. I used a H 5 mm hook.
The finished size is approximately 36 x 42 inches. ( I mistakenly estimated that the finished size would be 36 x 36 as mentioned in the video.)

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope your blanket turns out so beautiful!

I love this blanket. I did figure out the repeat. You said the original pattern called for 139 chains. Then you said to skip 3 chains and start in number 4 (which counts as the first dc). There are 15 chains in each wave, the last stitch is a dc in the last chain. So, the pattern multiples of 15 plus 4. The 139 makes 9 waves or 42 inches so if each wave is 4.6 inches and you want a 36 inch blanket you should start with 15 x 8 + 4. That is assuming you use the same hook size. I’m a little excessive in planning, so if I have given too much info please forgive me for over stepping.

Undoing the unnecessary or uneven chains was one of the first things I was taught waaay back when. It was a “cheat” that I’ve used a million times just because my oldest son is a big boy. He’s around 6’3 and about 240 lbs so I make his blankets/wearables pretty big..😊which means the standard throw blanket size doesn’t exactly work for him. The 40x60 is like towel size for him 🤣🤣. Great, great advice!

Your blankets are so classic and beautiful. Not to mention well done. I’ve done a couple of them but working on one, or more, of each! Thank you for your generosity.

I’ve always wanted to make one of these. Thank you! I have been so impressed that I have purchased two of your books.

When’s multiple is not given, I add or subtract the number of stitches used between the repeat (*). In this case 15.

Than goodness for your video because i was not understanding the written directions correctly! Wish they had included a diagram. It's easy once you get the hang of it. Im using a 4.5 mm hook and 11 repeats got me close to 36 inches with starting chain of 165+4 for 169. 😊

Love your eye for color, Tiffany! I actually tried this pattern years ago, and I was a bit sad to discover a few of the Red Heart SS colors had been discontinued because I absolutely loved the beachy color palette! Anyway, I thought I'd try to explain the pattern multiple because actually, the pattern DOES tell you the multiple - It tells you there are 9 waves. So take the 139 divided by 9 waves = 15.45 - So multiples of 15 for each of the 9 waves = 135. Then you need 4 additional chains - 3 additional chains are needed to count as the beginning double crochet of the row and then 1 additional chain is needed for the last double crochet of the row. So take the multiple of 15 for any size blanket, then add 4. I hope that makes sense! You can also count between the * repeats * for the multiple, but you'd still have to account for the first and last stitch of the setup row.

Did you follow the pattern or you made the rows how you wanted? I want to make my rows exactly like you did. This is such a beautiful blanket with gorgeous colors!!! I know I’ll have to make this !!

[ghazalapaul]

How many rows for a colour change...so for eg white 4 rows and blue 2 rows?

[CJG]

Is that yarn 100% cotton because I’m only seeing a blend of cotton/acrylic? Love the colors you chose!
