I started by gathering 28 ounces of scrap balls, sixteen ounces of various Peaches and twelve of Pinks. Added some whites.

I had plenty of yarn, so I decided to choose this ripple’s color sequence as I worked rather than use a Scrandom or Scrimple chart to help pre-plan the random stripes.

My only “Pattern”, and I use that term very loosely, was to crochet a two-row stripe and then do anywhere from one to four single-row stripes, repeat.

Since I wanted the beginning and ending of my ripple to match I had to start off using a scrap ball large enough to make at least four rows – in my case, one that weighed at least one-and-a-half ounces – and then remember not to absent-mindedly use the rest of ithe ball up before I got to the blanket’s final two-row stripe

-or- I may have simply used a second slightly different shade of antique rose. ssssh.

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.
