There isn’t much that is different from one round ripple to another except how the center is made. This pattern’s center creates an 8-pointed ripple, which was not something I had seen at the time the pattern was created.

This pattern is very free spirited. You can use any worsted weight yarn you like and can mix and match colors to your own personal tastes. You can make it as large or small as you want! The pattern is easy to memorize and doesn’t require much concentration. Works very well for “TV crocheting”, or when you’re on the go.
