Notes

This is my second ripple using this pattern (first one I goofed on the mountain stitches) but this one is following the pattern (so far).

It’s a five-color one. I increased the Hook size to an “H” and my foundation row is 220 plus 3. I wanted this to be larger for a lap throw. It has 14 mountains/valleys and measures 37 inches across (without the border).

Update 2/17/13: Working on my 14th five-color section. I want the throw long enough to cover my feet and reach under my chin.

Update: 2/26/13: Finished edging down sides today in dark country blue. Final piece has 14 five-color sections separated by white yarn.

Started five color section in the following order: 1)Dark Country Blue; 2) Berry Blue; 3) Soft Blue; 4) Ocean; and 5) Pagoda.

I found another crocheter’s website that has a wonderful tutorial on this v-stitch ripple:
http://eljardindemisecreto.blogspot.com.es/2012/08/vintag...

Great photos and instructions that I found helpful in getting the hang of this v-stitch ripple.

12/29/13: I added a photo of my hand-written diagram for this pattern. It helped me but by no means am I a professional diagram maker. You may find the tutorial above to be more helpful.
