need help with afghan pattern

[Sharon Dunlap LaFramboise]

I have finally fiqured out the second row of this pattern but the first row I am still doing wrong, can anyone help?  MY first row does not look like a ripple at all it is straight across, have never done a ripple before.

It may just be that you need to work the pattern for a few rows before the pattern really stands out.

 

Have you worked a swatch?   I know - it's everyone's least favorite word - it's right up there with weaving in ends - but it's definitely worth it.

 

If you work a piece that's maybe 8 or 10 inches across you can get the pattern down before you jump into the great big afghan.  It's an awful feeling to have to pull out 4 feet of work for each row and have to go back and re-do it.  If you practice the stitch with a swatch - it's not heartbreaking to rip out a few inches and try it again.

After looking at the way that pattern is written - I would copy that into a word document and break it down into sections.  I had a hard time following it with everything so bunched together.

I just tried it and the pattern has errors.  Yes, Row 1 should have very specific V formations.

 

The cluster part as writtten:

 

Miss next ch. *(Yoh and draw up a loop in next ch. Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times. Yoh and draw through all 4 loops on hook – cluster made.
 

 

Should be (Miss next ch, Yoh and draw up a loop in next ch. Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times. Yoh and draw through all 4 loops on hook – cluster made.

 

When you work the 3dc cluster skip a chain between section and you'll get the bottom of the V.

You need to download it from the Bernat site.  I made this afghan from their pattern and there weren't any errors in it.

I did download fron the bernat site i still can not get a point going down

The point going down is the cluster.  If you skip a ch between each part of the cluster it'll form the point.
