Mad Ripples is a fun parallelogram scarf like our original Watery Ripples Shawl that draws the colors into lovely ridges to create a gorgeous ripples in the water look. It involves picking up stitches every 20 rows or so, but they are easy pickups as you just insert your needle into the purl bumps that you’ve created on the diagonal with the pattern. It is SO fun to watch each of the colors draw into the others! We’ve made this one JUST for Mad Balls and so it is included when you buy a Mad Ball (with SIXTEEN more patterns), but would also be gorgeous with 2 balls of Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus Rainbow!
