MOD SPRING FLING RIPPLE LAPGHAN PATTERN

This lapghan pattern is worked in dc sts following the initial sc foundation.

I chose to use bright colored yarns because I like color in my life … and I like cheery colors in my world come Spring 😉

Materials: Super Saver Worsted weight yarn in colors of choice – 14 ounces MC – and about equal amount of leftover yarns of choice for CC1, CC2, & CC3; Size G hook; tapestry needle; scissors.

I chose Lemon Yellow for my MC – with Ombre Jazzy Pink/CC1, Ombre Green Apple/CC2, & Ombre True Blue/CC3.

PATTERN: With MC, ch 169.

MAIN COLOR STRIPE - Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in each of next 6 ch, *3 sc in next ch, 1 sc in each of next 7 ch, skip 2 ch, 1 sc I each of next 7 sc; repeat from * and end last repeat with 1 sc in each of 6 ch, skip 1 ch, 1 sc in last ch; ch 3.

Row 2: Turn – skip first st, *1 dc in back loop of each of 6 sts, 3 dc in back loop of next st, 1 dc in back loop of each next 7 sts, skip 2 sts; repeat from * and end last repeat with 1 dc in back loop of each next 6 sts, skip 1 st, 1 dc in back loop of last st; ch 3.

Row 3: Turn – skip first st, *1 dc in front loop of each of 6 sts, 3 dc in front loop of next st, 1 dc in front loop of each next 7 sts, skip 2 sts; repeat from * and end last repeat with 1 dc in front loop of each next 6 sts, skip 1 st, 1 dc in front loop of last st; ch 3.

Continue repeating Rows 2 & 3 for established pattern, having **6 rows in MC, 6 rows of CC1, 6 rows MC, 6 rows CC2, 6 rows MC, 6 rows CC3** DO NOT CUT YARN you will carry MC yarn up the backside of lapghan as you work it and pick it up to be worked with each alternating dc st. Attach new color: When changing colors, always draw the new color through the last loop on hook before turning work.

Alternate MC and Color stripes until there are 8 count MC stripes, with MC stripe being the ending stripe. Cut MC and tie off. Neatly weave in loose ends.

  1. Such a beautiful lapghan! I am still learning crochet but I have a blanket my grandmother made using a similar stitch but in all blue. I would love to make this. Thank you for sharing!

    1. Thank you for stopping by ;-)

      The stitch is very simple ... and you can use contrasting strips of yarn to mark the chevron increases to make the work flow easier.

      I hope you do try it :-)
