Crochet Caron Big Cakes Wavy Afghan Pattern

The Caron Cakes Wave Afghan was originally designed for Michaels Stores but was retired from their website. Designed by Yarnspirations.

We have two videos filmed but they are both actually the same video but just with different thumbnail covers. At the time, both afghans were being shown in two different categories of home decor.

The stitch multiple for this blanket is 14+2. The 1st row has a correction that is different below compared to the original pdf. Follow the below instructions. 

Both colours are retired by now but Caron Cakes still lives on and this pattern would still work with the latest colours (and any older colours you may have). It just needs 4 balls of each colour.

    Love the pattern! Thanks. Question: My colors are changing mid row. Is that a gauge issue or do I need to cut yarn and rejoin at row end to make it work ?

      It's natural. If you want to control your colours, you have to stop it and start the next colour at the end of the beginning of the row. Self Striping yarn is never a guarantee on where the yarn will finish.

    Such a pretty pattern! Could you kindly share what the multiple is in case we want to make a larger or smaller blanket? Thank you so much!
