Ripple Afghan

Please excuse the bad camera work. I haven't worked out yet how to set it up properly so I get my work in frame at all times! Plus it doesn't like to focus up close..... This is the ripple afghan I made for my niece.

I can follow a ripple pattern to a T, and it never fails. I always have to add sts to a row, and subtract sts from another. I DO count the sts as I go along. I then give up. Do you have that problem?

@jandtsmom I'm not sure exactly what u are asking, but if you've done enough chains at the beginning you shouldn't have problems with the stitches (eg having to add some in 1 row & subtract in others). The pattern I follow for this ripple Afghan states you do your foundation chain in multiples of 14. that allows for one complete transition from one peak to the next.

@jandtsmom Eg 2dc in same st at the peak (1), 4 dc down to the valley (4), 2 x 2dctog in the valley (coz they go over 4 stitches) (4). 4 dc up to the next peak (4) and then 2dc in one stitch st the peak (1). Add all the numbers in the () together and u get 14,
