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.

    You should join me on with weaving in ends…

    It’ll be close, but I may have another one done soon.

The Official Stardew Valley Crochet Book: That Rooster Had Me Hooked

Apparently, this is the year chickens took over my crafting attention. First came the emotional support chickens, then the pocket chickens, and now a rooster has managed to talk me into looking at another crochet book.

Honestly, put a crocheted chicken in front of me at this point and I’m going to stop scrolling.

That is exactly what happened with The Official Stardew Valley Crochet Book. The rooster sucked me in before I had even properly investigated what else was inside. After all the emotional support chicken crochet patterns we’ve been sharing, you would think I’d have had enough poultry. Apparently, there is still room in the imaginary yarn coop.

Now, a little honesty before we go any further: I haven’t read this book yet or tried its patterns. This is a look at why it has caught my attention ahead of publication. I have a very good feeling about this one, and I’m expecting it to be a lovely addition to the crochet bookshelf.

What’s Inside The Official Stardew Valley Crochet Book?

The publisher describes a collection of 25 crochet patterns with variations for more than 45 amigurumi projects, created by ConcernedApe, Megan Lapp and Ryan Novak.

The announced projects include Junimos, Slimes, chickens, a Junimo Hut and familiar game items. There are simpler projects such as Eggs alongside more challenging makes, including the Mermaid Pendant.

The chicken variations are particularly tempting, with different beaks, combs and tail feathers, plus White, Blue, Brown, Golden and Void varieties. You can probably see why my attention keeps wandering back to the coop.

It is scheduled for release on 26 January 2027 through Random House Worlds, with 240 pages in the hardcover edition.

Why This Crochet Book Is on My Radar

What appeals to me is the combination of recognisable characters and slightly ridiculous little objects. Those are often the crochet projects that make me smile most. A useful blanket is wonderful, but sometimes you simply want a tiny yarn creature keeping you company beside the sewing machine.

If you’ve enjoyed our emotional support pocket chicken crochet feature, you’ll understand the attraction. Small, characterful projects have a way of becoming much more tempting than the sensible project already waiting in your basket.

For Stardew Valley fans, there is also the pleasure of making something connected to a favourite game. We’ve previously shared a Junimo crochet pattern, so this feels like a lovely next book to explore for readers who enjoy that crossover between gaming and yarn.

Would I Add It to My Crochet Wishlist?

Absolutely. I can’t yet comment on the clarity of the instructions, the finishing details or how the patterns work up. Those are things I would want to assess with the book and a hook in hand.

But based on the announced collection, I know this is going to be a good one for my kind of crochet browsing: plenty of personality, playful projects and chickens I’m already mentally choosing yarn for.

I came for the rooster. I suspect I’ll stay for the rest of the farm.
