Beautiful Rippling Afghan
This is an adaptation of Red Heart’s Ocean Waves Throw. What makes this afghan different from regular ripple or chevron types is the stitches of each row. If you click ‘read more’ below, i have posted two more photos showing you up close. The Back Loop Double Crochets cause the afghan have to stunning visual appeal but not only having ripples, but the ripples are 3D and lifting up and down on the afghan.

Changes Made
-
Close View of the Treasure Afghan The pattern is the exact same as the Red Heart’s Ocean Waves Throw Pattern. You can print it out or view it online to follow.
- I used a size L or 8.0 mm Crochet Hook instead.
- I used 10 Balls of Red Heart Boutique Treasure. The colour I used was called Abstract.
- I used 2 Balls of Red Heart Boutique Midnight. The colour I used was called Aura.
The change of the hook size compliments the yarn gauge. It makes it light and relaxed in look and feel.
