Learn how to make a granny afghan that uses waves that go up and down in the width of the afghan. This is much simpler than you may realize.
Once you get the pattern on how it grows at the top peaks and reduces at the bottom valleys, it's a cinch!
Give it a try. I have provided resources below to help you.
I have a free pattern for you that can follow along, it's called Granny Goes Ripple.
In the video tutorial, I have shown an example of my crochet diagram that I used for myself. I figured out that I can change the sizes easily by figuring out the multiple chain counts.
For changing sizes, use Multiples of 18... at the end of the chain ADD 1.
Here is my diagram as part of my rough notes. You are welcome to save it and/or print it for your own records.

I also rewatch the video. Discover a trick reminder on it. When you get to the 5 change on the granny ripple. It the imaginationary sign saying to skip two 3 dc stitches. That is the way to keep the bottom peak or bottom loop pointing downwards. Well that is what I gotten from it.

"Bang on"... really easy and once I got going, don't have to count at all. I started it with a variegated color I already had in my stash, but I think this may look better in solids or at least some solid rows to show off the pattern better. I'll share a picture on facebook when I get done. (may be awhile tho... multiple WIP, lol)
