This easy crochet ripple throw or crochet ripple stitch blanket, was designed as a decorative END OF BED THROW, or a SOFA THROW It is a stylish STATEMENT PIECE, unlike your typical ripple stitch throw. This crochet throw uses a very bold, long and wide pattern. The typical count is a 7 or 9 single crochet. This uses a 19 count double crochet! This makes it a gorgeous, decorative throw.
This crochet throw would be a wonderful crochet gift. Perfect for a crochet housewarming gift. Change the color to a more neutral color, or ask your friend what colors they are decorating with and go with that.

Crochet Ripple Throw Size
I sized this a tad smaller than normal for a throw. It was designed as more of a decorative crochet throw. It turned out to be 43 inches wide and 57 inches long. You can change the length to your preference.
Multiple:
To change the width you need to use a multiple of 42 plus 3. This uses a count of 19+1+19+3 for the pattern; plus 3 for the beginning and ending stitches.

Ch 172
Row 1: 2 dc in 3rd ch from hook. *Dc in ea of the next 19 ch’s. Dec over the next 3 ch’s (“valley” formed; see Note 2). Dc in next 19 ch’s. 3 dc’s in next ch (“peak” formed) *. Repeat from * to * ending row with a valley and last 19 dc’s. Work 2 dc’s in last remaining ch. Ch 1. Turn
Row 2: 2 dc in 1st sp (insert hook under 2 strands that form the ch at the top). *Dc in BLO of ea of the next 19 st’s. You will continue to work in BLO for remainder of pattern (see Note below). Dec over the next 3 st’s. Dc in next 19 st’s. 3 dc’s in next st*. Repeat from * to * ending row with a valley and the last 19 dc’s; 2 dc in last sp. Ch 1. Turn
NOTE: You are working the 2 dc’s in the first and last st of rows as normal. You will not work in BLO for those st’s.
Repeat Row 2 for your preferred length. At end of last row cut yarn leaving a 5 inch tail to weave in.
Tassels (make 8; 4 on ea side; attaching at points)
Using any object (I used a paperback book) about 6 inches long, wind yarn around object to create a fairly thick tassel.
Using hook, take a strand of yarn about 10 inches long and pull under one side of wound yarn.
Slide the strand of yarn to top of tassel and tie securely.
Slide tassel off of the object. Take another length of yarn about 12 inches long and place the tassel on top of strand. Strand should be about 1.5 inches from top. Tie securely. Strands can be incorporated into tassel. Trim ends as needed.
With right side of throw facing you, attach tassel. Insert hook from underneath the point. Grab one tie (top) strand and pull through sp. Flip tassel out of the way and tie the two strands to secure the tassel.
TIP: If you intend to wash the runner, do not wash the tassels. This will require you to attach the tassels so they are removable. I suggest tying a bow rather than a knot. Slip the bow strands into the top “bulb” of the tassel to hide.
