   • *Make a double crochet two together (dc2tog) over the next 2 chains.
   • Repeat the dc2tog over the next 2 chains.
   • Make 3 double crochets in the next 3 chains.
   • Make 2 double crochets in the next chain.
   • Make 2 double crochets in the next chain.
   • Make 3 double crochets in the next 3 chains; repeat from * across the row.
4. Turn your work.

Row 2

1. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).

3. Make a double crochet in the next 3 double crochets.
4. Repeat the ripple pattern:
   • *Make a double crochet two together (dc2tog) over the next 2 double crochets.
   • Repeat the dc2tog over the next 2 double crochets.
   • Make 3 double crochets in the next 3 double crochets.

Continue Crocheting

1. Repeat Row 2 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length.

Finishing Touches

1. Once you reach the desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches.
2. Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle to ensure your blanket has a clean finish.

The finished blanket features a gentle ripple pattern reminiscent of ocean waves, with alternating bands of deep navy blue, teal, and crisp white. The texture is soft and inviting, with a subtle undulating effect that mimics the natural ebb and flow of the sea. Enjoy your beautiful, handmade Serene Waves Crochet Blanket!
