round ripple question

[Crochet_Gram]

Is there a rule of thumb for how big in inches to make a round ripple for a baby?

I don't know if there are any rules. I have made a few and aim for around 36 to 42 inches, but if the yarn runs out sooner I quit sooner.

There is a chart for suggested baby blanket sizes here:

most of mine, have been within that range too,the biggest baby afg. I have made in rr is about 45 inches, as I recall, nice size maybe for the car seat. Or whatever! lol

I try to make mine 40-45 inches that way it will work for a toddler too.

36 to 48 from point to point.

 

That's m personal rule of thumb. I'm sure everyone else would have a different answer.

That's how I make my blankets. When the yarn is out, it's done!

Well I decided to make two pattern repeats of each of 5 colors, and that works up at about 30". Plus the center is about 6" and then I will do one pattern repeat and an edge in the same color as the center at the end so I this it will end up at about 40 inches. I'll post a pic when I get done probably this weekend some time. thanks for all the help.
