Is This Crochet Ripple Blanket Suitable For Beginners?
The Vintage Lola Ripple Throw by Jessica Reeves Potasz is a one-row-repeat blanket project, which makes it perfect for beginners and those who know crochet basics. The use of ripples and puff stitches keeps it engaging, allowing you to enhance your skills with new techniques. The designer also provides a helpful video tutorial to follow along with the written instructions.
How Much Yarn Is Needed To Complete The Blanket?
For this crochet winter blanket pattern, you will need about 900 – 1300 yards (823 – 1189 m) of yarn in super bulky weight. You can use yarn of your choice or stick to pattern recommendations.
The designer used three skeins of Lion Brand Yarn Wool Ease Thick & Quick Yarn in the Fisherman colorway and three skeins of Bonus Bundles Lion Brand Yarn Thick & Quick Acrylic in Oxford Grey.
This shade combination creates a delicate, understated look with a bit of a romantic touch that will fit into any home decor.
How Big Is The Finished Vintage Lola Ripple Throw?
If you’re wondering whether you can adjust this beautiful handmade blanket to your desired size, the answer is: yes, you can. It’s actually quite simple to do that. To make it longer, you simply need to work more rows. The blanket’s width can be adjusted by chaining a different number of stitches in the first row. Just make sure it’s a multiple of 10 + 3 extra stitches.
