Round Ripple-no holes???

[CrochetRT]

Anyone know how to make the round ripple without the holes? I have some terryspun I was going to use to make one but I don't think it would be sturdy enough with the holes in it.

 

Thanks,

Laura

If you are speaking of the hole in the center, you can use a magic circles rather than a length of chain for the beginning circle. You can avoid the holes in the "valley"s by making a cluster stitch instead of skipping them. At the peaks you could try just increasing at the point. The look won't be identical, but it should work.

I made mine without holes because I didn't like the look of it either. The first post tells what I did different.

there are also some "real" circle afghans out there and for the life of me can't think of the name and i can't find my patterns.

I found a pattern here on the Ville for a true round afghan with no holes. Try doing a search for "round afghan".

I've seen the round afghans, but what I want is the round ripple with no holes at the peak and valleys.

Ok, so you mean, like in a ripple afghan, instead or say "dc ch2 dc" for the peakes and "dc sk next 2 dc, dc in next dc" which leaves holes in the peaks and valleys, you want a hole-free pattern, correct?

 

Using the example above, for the peaks make 3 dc's in the peaks, and dc three stitches together for the valley's (yo insert hook in next stitch pull up a loop, yo and pull through 2 loops, leaving 2 loops on the hook, do this in the next two stitches, and then pull the yarn through all remaining loops on the hook). It works beautifully. Enjoy!

Thanks! I wasn't sure how many to DC together or how many to do in one stitch. That helps!!
