Today I finished the 3rd Ripple
Lapghan – yesterday I delivered the 2 finished ones while I was in town, and
this one will go with me when I am in town next time.
Here is the pattern: you can use any color combo
you wish. It is simple sc throughout, and makes up real nice ;-) If you find it
difficult to keep the increases and decreases straight in line, use a different
colored length of yarn as a marker and carry it up the pattern, moving it up as
you work it up: you will need 13 ‘markers’.
RIPPLE LAPGHAN PATTERN
RIPPLE LAPGHAN PATTERN
Materials: Worsted weight yarn in colors of
choice – 11 ounces MC and about equal amount of leftover yarns of choice; Size
G hook; tapestry needle; scissors.
PATTERN: With MC, ch 238.
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.
Row 2: Turn – skip first st, *1 sc in back loop of each of 7 sts, 3
sc in back loop of next st, 1 sc in back loop of each next 7 sts, skip 2 sts;
repeat from * and end last repeat
with 1 sc in back loop of each next 6 sts, skip 1 st, 1 sc in back loop of last
st.
Repeat Row 2 twice, having 4 rows in first
stripe. 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 MC
stripe. Attach new color. When
changing colors, always draw the new color through the last loop on hook before
turning work.
COLOR STRIPE: With color of choice, repest
Row 2 of First Stripe 4 times. Cut color yarn and tie ends together lightly to
keep from tangling in the MC being carried.
Alternate MC and Color stripes until there are 33
count 4 row stripes, with MC stripe being the ending stripe. Cut MC and tie
off. Neatly weave in loose ends.
