Baby Lazy Wave Afghan Pattern
Wavey or chevron afghans are very popular amongst crocheters. This is considered a lazy wave because the height of the wave is rolling up and down slightly without any major jagged points. This is made with Baby Coordinates Yarn by Bernat. When completed, this afghan will measure 59″ wide by as long as you need it to go.
Baby Lazy Waves Throw will measure approximately 59″ (width) across by as long as you want it. 1 ball of Bernat Baby Coordinates Yarn will take you about 4″ of length.

Hi Mikey! Thanks so much for this pattern, it works up so easy. Need a gift for a shower next month and I’m dealing with a lot of health issues right now – so this pattern is perfect!!! Hugs and kisses to my crochet guru!!
Do you have baby lazy wave in video in that panttern
Hi Mikey,
When you’re back from lunch will you let us know if there is a video for this project. I’m new to crocheting and find patterns(at the moment) difficult to understand.
Thanks,

This is one of my favorite patterns and so simple too. Not only have I made many baby blankets out of this pattern, but I’ve just finished making 2 double size blankets for a church raffle. Thank you so much Mikey for the video tutorials.
On one line you say to add 2 ch to end of line but then you say 3… which is correct?
Hi Mikey……………need a little bit of clarification here, please. In row 2, is the “using next 2 stitches, create DC2TOG” done a second time? In other words, are the next FOUR stitches after the dc’s in the previous 3 stitches all worked on? I did a practice piece and I don’t have enough stitches to end the row correctly. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am wondering if I only need to do the DC2TOG one time instead of two as I have been doing. Is there a tutorial I can watch?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Lucky me…………..I got onboard early and am all set for the 2016 cruise. YIPEE! Really, really looking forward to a great time.
This is a lovely pattern! Thank you so much, Micheal, for sharing it with us.
Hi Mikey, I LOVE this pattern. I would like to make it in about a 40″ X 40″ size. How much of the Bby Coordinates yarn should I buy?
