Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in shades of coral, peach, lavender, and teal
• Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 double crochets (dc) and 8 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain that is a multiple of 14 plus 3. For example, if you want a blanket width of 42 inches, you might chain 105 (which is 14 x 7 + 3).
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make 1 double crochet (dc).
   • Dc in the next 3 chains.
   • Now, repeat the following pattern across the row:
     • Skip 2 chains.
     • Dc in the next 4 chains.
     • Make 2 dc in the next 2 chains.
     • Dc in the next 4 chains.
   • End the row and turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Dc in the first dc of the previous row.
   • Dc in the next 3 dc.
   • Now, repeat the following pattern across the row:
     • Skip 2 dc.
     • Dc in the next 4 dc.
     • Make 2 dc in the next 2 dc.
     • Dc in the next 4 dc.
   • Finish the row with 2 dc in the last dc, then turn your work.
4. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Row 2 for the entire blanket. To create a beautiful gradient effect, alternate colors every 4 rows. For example, use coral for the first 4 rows, peach for the next 4, lavender for 4, and teal for 4.
5. Finishing: Continue crocheting until your blanket reaches the desired length. Once you are satisfied with the size, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Your Sunset Waves Ripple Blanket is now complete! Enjoy the cozy warmth and beautiful colors that will brighten up any room. Happy crocheting!
