Then and Now Afghan,am I going crazy?

[Y.Marie]

Hello everyone,

I saw an ad in Crochet or Crochet Today magazine about a Then and Now ripple afghan. I've searched all over it seems and can't find that pattern? I was pretty sure it said Bernat website I have searched that website and nothing is there?

Has anyone else seen this afghan advertised? Please help me if possible, I'd appreciate so much.

Thank you,

Y.Marie

Hi Debbi-a1,

Thank you for letting me know about the booklet, I checked and the one I'm looking for looks like an open ripple afghan.

Thank you,

I have the then afghan, I use it every day. My grandma made it and gave it to me in 1977.

Hi Losingmymind 2,

Thank you, thank you so much that is the afghan I was looking for. I'm glad you saw it to and sent the link, I copied it right away and will try to make it with the yarn colors it says or with my yarn colors I have.

Have a nice day,

Hi LuvMaxine,

Wow that long ago huh? I did like it as soon as I saw the afghan ad in the magazine.

I know I saw that afghan pattern before but couldn't remember where. Maybe it was online before too.

Have a nice day,

Hello ladies,

Now I need help on the 'Then and Now Afghan', to me it seems like the pattern either wasn't written out well or I don't understand it? I've only crocheted one ripple but the kind where the stitches are closer together.

I'm having trouble with the peak part where the pattern says put 1 dc with 1 chain inbetween next 3 dc's, then 1 more dc all in same stitch.

But the following 2nd row at that peak, this is where I get confused because pattern says do v stitch going up towards the peak before making 1 dc with chain 1 between next 3 dc's plus 1 dc, then back down making another v stitch. It does say Last row forms pattern. Now do I crochet the following rows like row 2?

To me it seems I'll need to add more stitches going towards and coming down from the peak to fill in the v stitches to in the following rows?

Please if anyone can help me, I'd appreciate so much,

Thank you,

Y.Marie
