My Round Ripple Crochet Blanket Pattern

by

This is a picture of a round ripple babyghan that I recently finished.  I just love the bright colors in it.  It’s crocheted from three different variegated sock yarns.  Obviously, the skeins I used have related colors and each skein was 100 grams, but there were still plenty of ends to weave in.  Not my favorite thing to do!

The idea for this particolar round ripple afghan came from the Wald Afghan.  The pattern uses three different colorways in Berocco sock yarn.  The Wald Afghan pictured here requires 6 skeins of the sock yarn and all those darned hexagons!  No way was I gonna make all those motifs and then sew them together.  I saw and admired the finished afghan at my LYS and decided I could come up with another way to let those three different variegateds play together.

Fast forward a while.  I was destshing and ran across the bag containing those three skeins of yarn.  So, I put my web surfing cap on and dug around to find just the right pattern to show off these yarns.  Since I love the round ripple, it seemed right for the yarn.  So, I found this pattern and decided to go for it.

I am very happy with the results.  And, I didn’t have to sew any motifs together!

Here’s another view of my round ripple.  I love those cheery colors and think a baby will too.  Round ripples are positively addictive, especially with a variegated yarn.  I’m always looking forward to see the next color combo!  Here’s the pattern I used.  Easy to follow.

Lightweight Lacy Crochet Tee Pattern That’s Perfect for Layering

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
