How to Crochet a Ripple Baby Blanket

The Snuggly Ripple Baby Blanket

Follow along with this easy Ripple Baby Blanket pattern and learn how to make a gorgeous baby blanket.

About the Snuggly Ripple Baby Blanket.

A few years ago I wanted to learn the Ripple Stitch and made a couple of ripple baby blankets in different colours as I fell in love with the stitch and the pastel colours used to make these beautiful crochet blankets for babies.

Of course I wasn’t writing patterns at the time and it is only now that I have finally gotten around to writing up the pattern.

This Ripple Baby Blanket is a free beginner friendly baby blanket and you will be surprised how easy it is. I used three colour plus an accent colour for ones in these pictures. You can skip the accent colour and just use three colours or switch things up according to the yarn you have on hand if you want to use up your stash.

I used alternating three row stripes for this blanket. FIt makes for a beautiful baby blanket.

You can customize this blanket by adding more rows to make if bigger or using less rows to make it smaller.

Also you could use a chunkier yarn and the appropriate hook to make a heavier blanket.

Snuggly Ripple Baby Blanket

Pattern by Pam Carr ©2025

Introducing my Snuggly Ripple Baby Blanket Pattern. This ripple baby blanket is a beginner friendly baby blanket made with worsted weight yarn (4)

This baby receiving blanket is soft and snuggly and features soft pastel stripes. It has a beautiful texture and the soft curves of the ripple are so pretty. It is a striped ripple blanket made with alternating colours.

This modern contemporary design is easy once you get the hang of the ripple stitch pattern.

For those new to crochet, I have a video tutorial on youtube that will demonstrate how to make double crochet stitches. I have right and left handed tutorials there.

So here we go, good luck.

The Snuggly Ripple Baby Blanket Pattern.

Finished Size:

This blanket is a receiving blanket: 29″ by 27″ approximately.

Supplies you will need:

Notions: Yarn Needle, Scissors.

Gauge:. 5.25” between the dc valleys of the ripple stitch.

Here is how to make a double crochet two together (dc2tog).

Yarn over and pull through
Yarn over and pull through two loops

How to Make the Ripple Stitch.

Note: The foundation chain for this ripple stitch is in multiples of 14, plus an extra 3 added on for turning.

Before you begin your ripple project you can make a small ripple sample to get used to the pattern. Make a chain of 45 (3×14 +3) so you can practice and get confident with making the hills and valleys that make the ripple stitch so special.

Row 1: make a dc into the 4th chain from the hook.

Now make 1dc into each of the next 4 chains, so there are 5 in total (you count the chain-3 as a st), now dc2tog and then dc2tog again, make 1dc into each of the next 4 chains

(You have just made the “valley”. The 4dc’s are the sides and the dc2tog’s create the valley bottom.)

Now make 2dc’s into the next chain, then make 2 more dc’s into the next chain.

These four stitches create the top of the “mountain”.

Now make 1 dc crochet into each of the next 4 chains.

Now we are back at the bottom and you will dc2tog decrease, and then do another dc2tog decrease (another valley).

Then make 1 dc into each of the next 4 chains.

There will be one chain left at the end of your foundation chain. Make 2 dc’s into this last chain to end the row.

* Repeat between * and *to the end,
