For the Diagonal Ripple Lapghan, I modified the Diagonal Chevrons Lapghan pattern to create a different chevron or ripple look. Many love working the classic crochet ripple pattern in BLO to create a neat ridge effect so I gave it a whirl when working on the bias. If you love to work crochet blankets from corner-to-corner (also known as working on-the-bias) and you love crochet chevrons, then you will really enjoy this lapghan pattern! If you are intimidated by chevrons and working C2C, then I suggest practicing with the 12″ afghan square first (click here for the free pattern). You can find the free crochet pattern for the Diagonal Ripple Lapghan in this post below, or an ad-free print friendly version on Love Crafts here, Ravelry here, or on Etsy here.

Shortly after I taught myself to crochet, I fell in love with crochet chevrons (or crochet ripples as some prefer to refer to them as). Chevrons/Ripples are created using a classic crochet stitch pattern, but even though they’ve been around for decades, this stitch pattern can also be very modern. I love how simply playing around with color placement or just simply working in back loops only, can really individualize a chevron pattern.

YARN

For this Lapghan, I chose Lion Brand Yarn’s Vanna’s Choice in Dusty Blue. Vanna’s Choice is a great worsted weight acrylic yarn that’s available in 54 colors! You’ll have a hard time choosing colors, but this crochet ripple blanket will look great in any and every color.

Diagonal Ripple Lapghan Instructions

This lapghan is worked corner-to-corner (on the bias) beginning in the lower left corner.

Tip: You may find it helpful to place a SM in the FLO of each ch-1 space and sc2tog to make it easier to find them when working the next row.

Fasten off. Weave in ends. Continue on to Border.

The photo above shows my completed swatch. I used 2 colors to help show the increasing and decreasing more clearly.

Border

Stitch Count: The stitch count for the border is not crucial.

Tip: If you prefer a wider border, simply repeat round 2 as many times as you’d like. I completed my lapghan with 4 rounds.

Rnd 1: With a 6.50mm crochet hook, join yarn with a sc in any corner stitch, work 1 more sc in the same corner, work 1 sc into each st along the first side, * work 3 sc in the next corner, work 1 sc in each st across the next side, * work from * to * 3 times, work 1 more sc into the beginning corner. Join with a sl st to the 1st st.

Rnd 2: Ch 1, work (sc, ch 1, sc) into the middle sc of the first corner, work (ch 1, skip the next st, sc in the next st) across the edge to the next corner st, * (sc, ch 1, sc) into the middle sc of the next corner, work (ch 1, skip the next st, sc in the next st) across the edge to the next corner st, * work from * to * 3 times. Join with a sl st to the first st of the round.

Rnds 3 – 4: Rep Rnd 2. Join with a sl st at the end of the last round.

Fasten off. Use Invisible Join Technique (click HERE for tutorial). Weave in ends & block, if desired.
