The crochet granny ripple blanket pattern is a perfect blanket pattern for beginners. It works up quickly, uses basic crochet stitches, and looks great in any colorway!
I love the Red Heart Roll With It Mélange yarn in the showtime colorway, and have been wanting to make a few projects with it. I actually redid my Crochet Fingerless Gloves in Granite Stitch pattern to use the yarn, and I think it turned out great! But I also had like 10 balls of the yarn left and decided it was enough to make a blanket!
I love a good project that uses the granny stitch, I use it in my Granny Stitch Scarf Pattern and in the round with my Crochet Granny Square Coaster Pattern. But then I realized I never used it in a simple, classic blanket pattern. Until now! Now I have this cute crochet granny chevron pattern to share with everyone!
Now let's get started on this granny ripple crochet blanket!

✏️ Things To Note:
- Stitches: the only stitches you need to know for this granny ripple crochet pattern are chains and double crochet - that's it. Nothing fancy. If you are new to the granny stitch my Beginner Crochet Granny Square Patterns is a good place to start - it is just in the rounds instead of rows.
- Blanket Size: This pattern makes a throw size blanket, to make a larger blanket adjust the starting chain by multiples of 18.
- Border: I use tassels for the border, but if you want a different border finish, you can do a Crochet Pom Pom Border for an alternative but cute look!
🪡 Materials Needed
💭Abbreviations to Remember (US terms)

🍵Instructions for Crochet Granny Ripple Blanket Pattern
Granny Ripple Crochet Stitch:
Ch x216.
Row 1: Dc x3 into the 5th ch from the hook.
Skip 2 chs, dc x3 into the next ch. Skip 2 chains. *Peak: (Dc x3, ch x2, dc x3) to the next stitch.
Skip 2 chs, dc x3 into the next ch, skip 2 chs, dc x3 into the next ch. Valley: Skip 5 chs, dc x3 into the next ch, skip 2 chs, dc x3 into the next ch, skip 2 chs.
Repeat from * until the rest of the row, you should have 1 chain left. Dc into the last ch.
Ch x3 and turn.
Row 2: Skip the 3 dc stitches and dc x3 into the gap between clusters, then skip 3 dc stitches and dc x3 into the next gap.
*In the ch-2 space, which is the peak space, (dc x3, ch x2, dc x3). Skip the 3 dc stitches and dc x3 into the gap between clusters, then skip 3 dc stitches and dc x3 into the next gap. Skip the next cluster, the valley space and the next cluster.
Dc x3 into the next gap, skip the next cluster, dc x3 into the next gap.
Repeat from * for the rest of the row.
Until you reach the last 3 stitches and the chains at the end of the row. Here you will skip the 3 dc stitches and make a dc into the top of the chs at the very end of the row.
Then ch x3 and turn.
Repeat row 2 until your blanket is 54 inches in length (for a throw blanket size).
OPTIONAL: Last minute I decided to do a row of dc stitches at the top and bottom of the blanket. To do this ch x3, then dc into the tops of all the stitches. When I got to a peak I did (dc x2, ch x2, dc x2), for a valley I skipped the middle 2 stitches.
How to Make Tassels from Yarn:
You will make a tassel for every peak, for the blanket I needed 25.
You will also need something 4-5 inches in length to wrap yarn around. It can be anything just make sure its sturdy.
Wrap your yarn 30 times, then carefully cut the end of the yarn so its no longer attached to a skein.
Cut a 12-inch piece of yarn and skip it under one side of the wrapped yarn Move it to the top.
Tie the yarn tightly.
Slip the yarn CAREFULLY off of whatever you had the yarn wrapped on. Lay it flat on the table.
Cut a 12-inch piece of string and lay it perpendicular to the tassel. You want to place the yarn roughly an inch and a half down from the top.
Tie the yarn to create bulb at the top of the yarn. Make sure it is secured well.
Cut the bottom of the tassel soit is no longer loops. Trim if needed.
Tie the tassels to the peaks of the crochet blanket, then weave in the yarn ends to secure it further.
And the crochet granny ripple blanket pattern is done! I hope you enjoyed this pattern, if you have any questions please let me know! Also if you want to make another crochet blanket, check out my Crochet Linen Stitch Baby Blanket Pattern! It would look STUNNING in this colorway!
🐌Expert Tips
- The granny ripple is an easy 1 row repeat - once you have the 2nd row done, you can mindlessly work on it since you are crocheting into gaps, not the tops of stitches.
- If you are losing granny clusters, make sure you are doing the last dc stitch in the row and ch x3 before turning.
- If you are a tight crocheter, you should go up a hook size or two.
🧵Pattern FAQs
Yes! you can use lace, worsted, chunky, fuzzy, smooth etc. Just adjust the hook size if your changing yarn weights.
You might have crocheted them too loose or are missing a few stitches, make sure you do this part correctly!
Absolutely! I suggest you can complete it using the granny spike stitch for a variation, but you can do other stitches as well.
