How have I not tried ripple blankets before?!
I’ve finished the daisy blanket and I’m really pleased with it, although after 98 daisy squares I’ll admit it I got really bored! And I won’t be doing another in a long time.
I see @lyndascrafteoom working on ripple blankets and cushion covers all of the time, is never thought to try one until I picked up two orders for the same blanket.
After the daisy blanket the ripple blanket has been an absolute pleasure to do.
I’ve used Caron simply soft in heather, white and strawberry, whilst I like the colours im not 100% keen on the yarn! 🙈
Now I like the fact it comes in bigger rolls, and it pulls so easily from the middle, but it just feels a bit too plasticky/acrylic to me, I know I use a lot of acrylic but they don’t always feel like acrylic, anyway I’m pleased with the finished result!
The ripples work up so quickly! And I like the repetition, so get rippling! I can feel some little cushions coming on now ☺️
Happy hooking xx
Love the daisy blanket, that’s next for me. You’ve picked some beautiful colours for your ripple. Enjoy!

Perfect colours! I love both, the daisy blanket especially. (I’d love to make a blanket from little squares but in my heart I know I only have the patience to make a cushion cover!)

Love the colors in those blankets! I may have to find the pattern for the daisy one…even with 98 of the same squares! Love it! Also love working with the Caron Simply Soft yarn. You make me inspired to haul out my yarn!

Thanks Tami! Maybe I shouldn’t write the Caron off just yet ☺️

Everything that I’ve made with Caron gets softer and softer every time I run it through the wash. The one thing that I don’t like about it is that it can be very splitty. And it snags easily while I’m working with it sometimes. 🙂

I do love the ripple pattern, but having just made a blanket in it that came out almost 2 metres long, I’ve had enough of it for a wee while!

Yeah, it worked up in about half the time I expected! But still filled my ripple quota for a while :p
