Can this be done with just one (or two) large skeins of multicoloured yarn instead of alternating colors?
Yep and that would be perfect with no ends to weave in! 😛
Thanks Krista☺
Beautiful glad you give us the pattern i have been looking for a different pattern fir granny stitch thank you
when you say 3 dc, skip 2 chains, 3 dc do you mean to chain 2 in between those clusters or to only skip the 2 chains but not chain 2 in between clusters?
Hi! You just need to skip 2 chains. 🙂
I have just found this pattern absolutely love it.
I am going to look at my stash of yarn and try it.
Thank you.
Thank you Margaret! I am so glad you like it. Happy Crocheting! 🙂
Well l am stumped. It doesn’t state how many chains to do for the Granny Ripple Afaghan
Hi! It is under the Granny Ripple Tutorial Detail Section:
With your first color chain a multiple of 18. A multiple of 18 is just 18+18 added over and over again. For example: 18,36,54,72,90,108,126,144,162,180,198,216,234,252,270,288, 306,324,342,360,378,396,414,432,450,468,486,504,522,540 etc.
Happy Crocheting!
In the foundation row when you said { 3 double crochets, 3 chains, 3 double crochets }, what did you mean?
Hi Lauren,
You do 3 double crochets, chain 3, 3 double crochets all in one stitch. 🙂
Happy Crocheting!

Unless I’m blind….I didn’t see what size hook you used!!
Hi Connie,
This is a general tutorial. Under the to get started section it says “Use 3 colors of Yarn and corresponding crochet hook as stated on yarn package”
Krista
I love this pattern, when you say multiples of 18, do you mean as many multiples for the size you want??
Hi Davina,
Yes. 🙂 You can chose whatever multiple of 18 you wish and the pattern will work. 🙂
Happy Crocheting!

Would like to make a baby blanket in this stitch, can you make a suggestion as to how many numbers of stitches I need to start? Thanks for the pattern!
Hi Frances,
I would start with a chain of either 54 or 7s for a baby blanket size. 🙂
