The Painted Canyon Ripple Blanket has quickly become one of my favorite crochet blankets to make! I used Caron Macchiato Cakes yarn for this project because it’s super soft, easy to work with, and the muted earth tones look gorgeous in the ripple stitch.

This pattern may take a little getting used to at first. If you’re new to the ripple stitch, it can be a bit tricky until you find your rhythm. I highly recommend making a small practice swatch before starting your blanket. Trust me, it will make the process so much smoother if you have the hang of the pattern before getting started.
Once you have the stitch pattern down, this blanket becomes such a fun and relaxing project to work on while watching your favorite shows or listening to an audiobook. The colors flow together so beautifully, and you’ll end up with a cozy blanket that you love. I hope you have as much fun making it as I did!

Follow the key throughout the pattern based on the size blanket you are crocheting: (Lapghan, Smaller Throw)
Gauge (4in x 4in): Approximately 16 sts and 7 rows
Size Adjustment: To adjust the width of your blanket, start with a longer or shorter chain. The pattern has a chain multiple of 12 plus 3 stitches. If you want to adjust the size of your blanket, chain in multiples of 12 and add 3 stitches to that. For example, if you were to chain 24, you would then add 3 stitches for a total of 27.
Pattern Notes:
- The chain 3 counts as a stitch. Be sure to work those final 2 dc stitches into the turning chain (the top of the ch 3 from the previous row).
- Once you reach Row 2, all stitches are worked in the back loop only.
- I highly recommend making a practice swatch to get the hang of the pattern before starting your blanket. For your swatch, ch 27 and follow the pattern as written.
Abbreviations (US):
ch – chain
st(s) – stitch(es)
