Queen Size Ripple Blanket

[caednkat]

My son has had to watch me make little things for my daughter for years. Finally I came up with something to make for him.

 

He picked out all the colors for this blanket. All the colors are for his favorite football teams.

 

It took two months of work, and a few times where I was ready to chunk it out the window. But I finished. It's 86 inches wide and big enough for my queen size bed, my son has a full size bed and I wanted it to be wide enough so it would hang down a good bit.

 

All the links (pattern, random stripe generator etc) as well as tons of pictures are on my blog.

 

 

Before going to bed last night my son said that Spongebob got to wear love from his grandma, but sleeping under love from his Mommie was so much better!

Wonderful job. Love how you combined all those colors, they look so good. And what a sweet thing to say to Spongebob.

It is so wonderful when we're appreciated! Isn't it wonderful to know he can feel the love you put into each stitch!?!

Wow! It's beautiful! How many stitches across? And what hook size? Looks like double crochet, right? I love your son's comment about love from Mommy. He's a keeper!

I really love this. It is totally masculine, which is difficult to do. I love the stripes, I will have to check out the generator.

 

Great job!

That's really cool! It is harder to find stuff to do for my son as opposed to my daughters.

It looks fantastic, great job.

That is a really nice looking ripple:yay . The colors look cool too:yes . I made my oldest grandson an afghan in the colors of his favorite football team, "the Oakland Raiders". Almost 5 year later, he still uses it. It's nice to feel appreciated like that:manyheart !! Hope you have a nice Mom's day:flower !!!

Wow, Thanks Everyone!

 

I'll find my paper with how many stitches across it was and try and post it tomorrow. I used a I hook for the whole thing, and yes it's all double crochet.

 

This is probably the 5th ripple blanket I've made using that pattern. It works up really easy.
