The Blue Shells and Ripples Afghan

 

I started this afghan out of this magazine:


Remeber that challenge afghan?

I posted about this edition of the Hooked on Crochet magazine, HERE and the chain link afghan that I challenged myself to make. There is a companion pattern called shells and ripples in the magazine, too.

What is it about brown afghans???

I decided to make this one, too. But the brown had to go.

My palette of BLUES

Once I got the yarn I wanted in the colors I wanted, I started on the afghan. As in the previous one, some of the instructions weren't as clear as I would have liked, but since I have years and years of crochet making stuff experience, I was able to fudge my way through them. One thing I really like about the blues that I picked for the contrast ripple stripe is that I don't have to (and I haven't) used those yarns in the same order every time.

I like the effect!

I'm not quite done with the afghan yet, but I better get done soon, because the yarn is going fast! Oh, and please don't mind the sprinkles of Kaliegh hair that shows up...

Yep, I like those blues!
