The pattern is written in US terms and designed to be both easy to follow and incredibly satisfying to complete. If you’re looking for a relaxing, stress-free project with stunning results, this one is for you.
The blanket shown measures 60″ x 80″, made with Caron Big Cakes in “Toffee Brickle”—a medium weight (4) acrylic yarn. You’ll need about five cakes (3,015 yards total) for this large throw size, but yardage will vary depending on which size you choose.
A helpful size chart is included in the pattern so you can plan accordingly. This is a fantastic way to use self-striping or variegated yarn to create beautiful color transitions without having to switch skeins constantly.
Whether you’re making a baby gift, a comfy lapghan, or a full-size bedspread, the Granny Ripple Zigzag Blanket offers a satisfying crochet experience and a timeless finished piece. It’s a great stash-buster too—feel free to mix colors from your yarn collection or stick to one elegant palette.
