Well I finally finished it! Only took about 6 months:P

 

It's a bit thick... I'll save it for winter. Let me know what you think.

I love it! I love ripples maybe cuz that's what I learned how to crochet on... I don't know. Anyway, you did a great job. I like the popcorn or bobbles in it, too.

I agree...that's very beautiful!!!! I love the popcorn stitches or bobbles or whatever they are.....adds such a pretty look and texture to it! My daughter wants a ripple blanket......this one looks like a good one to do. Is there a pattern online for it???

It's called the Royal Ripple.

 

I used Bernat Super value yarn. The colors were burgundy, medium rose, light rose, pale rose, navy, medium navy, light navy and pale navy. I used a size H hook as per the pattern but I would recommend an I to make the single crochets looser and the afghan wider. Weave in the ends every few colors or it will become hard to work with... lots of weaving with this one Also the supervalue skeins have a lot more yarn than the recommended type of yarn in the pattern. I have lots of extra in the colors so I'm making a 2 granny square afghans out of the extra yarn, I'll post pics of them when I get them done in a month or two.

 

I'm thinking of doing a royal ripple in sunset colors next winter
