      Started this pattern with a friend and am confused as the throw is turning into ripples (not laying down flat). We are on the fourth row (on directions, number 4. repeating steps 2 and 3) Our throw doesn't look like the picture. What's wrong ?

      can't wait to try the water waves throw with my girlfriend. Looks awesome and easy enough for returning crocheters.
