Do you miss the sound of the sea? The glistening and the pattern of running waves? With this pattern the sea will always be with you — and it makes a great gift too!

This is a project of an average difficulty. It is nothing more than repeating the same stripes over and over again, but you have to understand the written patterns and know what the increases and decreases are (there’s a photo tutorial in the pattern).

You’ll need:

• 5 colours of yarn — about 200 meters (220 yards each). I used Stylecraft Special Chunky, but you can use any chunky yarn
• 5-6mm crochet hook
• a yarn/tapestry needle
• scissors

The blanket in the pictures is 125x75 cm (49x30 inch) in size.
