As we come into the fall season, I’ve been inspired to create cozy patterns to get me through the nights as they get colder. I was inspired by the dozens of wavy crochet blankets I’ve seen as well as the sunny flower fields reminiscent of the end of summer and beginning of fall. The combination of those things came to fruition in this throw blanket!

Pattern
**for color changes you can either invisible join your yarn or drop the color you are using to pick up the next color. For my throw, I dropped the color I was using, cut that yarn, left a 5-6 inch tail, and picked up the new yarn and sewed my ends in at the end**

BORDER: using your secondary color, start by adding a border above the last row in the pattern. Sc above each dc, sc3tog where you would have done a dc3tog and sc3 in the stitches you would have done a dc3. sc3 in each corner stitch. Along the sides of the blanket (where there are no ripples), sc in each sp along until you reach the next corner, sc3 in each corner. At the bottom of the blanket (starting chain), you will inverse what you did at the top. Sc above each dc, but when you come to a dc3tog, you will sc3 above it instead and at each dc3, you will do an sc3tog. This keeps the ripples in place. At the end of this row, sc3 in the corner, and sc in each sp along the last side. Sc3 in the final corner to finish.
Once done with our border you can cut and tie in all your ends. Due to the chunkiness of the yarn I used my hook to tie in my ends rather than a tapestry needle. You can use whichever method is easiest for you to weave your ends in!
