Hello Everyone, I'm a beginner in crocheting, excited to meet new friends here!!! Merry Christmas!!!

YAY! I finally finished my first blanket. The yarn is harvest so I'm not sure why the photos are coming out so pink. It's more orange and moss/dark green. Both with and without the flash look wrong. lol... Anyway, the hubby has claimed this as HIS blanket! It's really soft and plush and I made it almost as tall as him so he can snuggle in it. It feels weird to complete a longer project. I don't know what to do with myself now. I need to work on some foundations that don't involve chains. I don't really like to work in a chain to start projects and I think that's why the granny square has been a favorite stitch of mine. (not that I know a lot of stiches yet)

This is kind of hard to explain in words, but I've attached a rough sketch of what I'm trying to make, so hopefully that will help. The project I'm working on is one of those blanket dolls where the "body" is a blanket but there's a stuffed animal or doll "head" on top (sorry, I don't know what they're actually called, but you can see my point in the sketch I've attached). I want the blanket portion to represent the doll's dress, so I'd love it to have a scalloped edge around the bottom/outer portion of the circle. However, all the patterns I've found online are for much smaller "scallops", as opposed to just 7 or 8 around the entirety of the blanket. Basically, what I'm trying to make is something similar to a round ripple-patterned blanket, but with the edges being rounded instead of pointed. I've been crocheting for years and know how to read patterns if anyone has one I could use, but I just haven't been able to find on online. Thanks for your help! Here's a very rough sketch of the final project. I'd like the "base" of the doll (i.e. the blanket portion you can see more clearly in the top view) to be about 10'' in diameter. Sorry I'm not the best artist, but hopefully this gets the point across:
