Using All Blue yarns from navy to powder, including one old variegated called ‘Ombre’.

Gradually moving the 2 rows of the Ombre closer and closer together until at the center of the blanket they’re separated by only one row of powder blue. Fun! until I until I ran out of powder blue just as I neared the end of the last row in the last powder blue section.

Compared every skein of light blue that I had. - my stash box of blue is overflowing! - Some were close but none Matched.

Unraveled the nearly five rows - UUuuuuugh!! - and crocheted them again with a little more tension on the yarn. YAY! I made it this time with about a foot of yarn to spare.

As usual I modified the Rustic Ripple pattern - used an H hook with only one strand of yarn and increased each run of double crochet stitches to ten stitches.

I’ve made several ripples containing multiple blues with white and at least one of blues with black, but this is the first that’s All Blue! I feel up to the challenge of designing at least one more as a Blue Stashdown.
