Color Block Ripple Blanket

Ripple blankets are so much fun. After you get the pattern in your head, they're easy with a beautiful result. I'm pretty sure this blanket is the biggest item I've made - I haven't measured it, but it's definitely big enough to cover me from my waist to my toes (and I'm a pretty tall girl). I was planning on using it as a baby gift, but I'm afraid it ended up too big for that.

I was really excited about the color combination, but I'm not sure the final result is as "stunning" as I was hoping. While I am happy with it, it's not quite what I had envisioned.

I've also determined that taking pictures of large blankets isn't fun. It's challenging and difficult to get a good shot of a all the colors when there isn't a repeating pattern. All in all, it was a fun project and it turned out nice enough, but it's not something I will be making over and over again as a gift.

  4. I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE this color combination!!! It has most definitely inspired me to do a similar color scheme for my next ripple blanket!!!! Currently working on a GINORMOUS ripple blanket (it can cover a full bed!) which I am almost through with. Getting a little sick of the pattern though.

    Anyways, again, LOVELY color scheme!
