A few of years ago, I was asked to make a baby blanket using the colours black, grey and white. Since these are colours you don’t originally associate with a baby, I was unsure on what to do. I had a look around to see what pattern/design would work best for these colours and I seen somebody that had done a wave blanket in different coloured pinks. I thought a wave design would look great in the chosen colours. I couldn’t find a pattern the right wavy-ness or in the size I wanted, so I decided to write one myself. It took a lot of tries to get right but once I did, it turned into a lovely pattern and the colours looked amazing together. I have made many more of these blankets over the years in many different colours and they’ve all turned out beautifully.
MATERIALS:
- 4mm Hook
- DK yarn in desired colours
ABBREVIATIONS:
DC- Double crochet
INC- Increase (2 double crochet in single stitch)
DEC- Decrease (Double crochet 2 stitches together)
F/O- Fasten Off
CH- Chain
ST- Stitch
BEFORE YOU START:
– Finished blanket size is approximately 29 x 22 inches
– Blanket could be made using thicker wool if you use the corresponding hook size. This would make the blanket bigger than the measurements given above.
– Gauge isn’t overly important, as long as you keep the tension the same throughout the whole blanket.
( The Blanket can be made into a dolls blanket by chaining 73 at the beginning of the pattern and then following the pattern the same way..This makes a blanket of approximately 24 x18 inches.)
CHAIN 100
1) DC IN 3RD CH FROM THE HOOK, DC IN THE NEXT 4 STS, DEC, DEC, DC IN THE NEXT 4 STS , *INC, INC, DC IN THE NEXT 4 STS, DEC, DEC, DC IN THE NEXT 4 STS * REPEAT FROM * TO * , WITH AN INC IN THE LAST CH ST. CH2 AND TURN.
2) DC IN THE FIRST 5 STS, DEC, DEC, DC IN THE NEXT 4 STS , *INC, INC, DC IN THE NEXT 4 STS, DEC, DEC, DC IN THE NEXT 4 STS * REPEAT FROM * TO * ACROSS TO THE END, INC IN LAST STITCH, CH2 AND TURN.
REPEAT ROW 2 UNTIL BLANKET IS 29 INCHES (OR DESIRED LENGTH IF YOU WISH TO MAKE IT LONGER)
F/O AND WEAVE IN ENDS.

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying, your comment has only just sent a notification to me. I have started with WordPress.com as it seemed simple and easy to use when i’m first starting off and I have also read its easier to move a wordpress blog to another platform when ready than most others. I am only just starting off too, so learning as I go along. Good luck with your blog and send me a link when you are up and running 🙂 always love reading other peoples blogs 🙂 x
