Pattern by Haley Waxberg
Skill Level: Beginner
Notes
The pattern repeat for this blanket is 14 +2 sts, so if you want to increase or reduce the size of your project, add or subtract stiches in multiples of 14. Each ripple measures approximately 4”. Additionally, don’t be afraid to skip over part of the colourway if it isn’t working, sometimes Noro throws in a colour that’s a dud.
