The powers that be and I conferred and decided that this project would need some time to finish before the holidays. So, this is a "prelude" to the finished afghan. If you wanted to make this for someone, you would need more time than I do right now so this is "before" and I will post the "after" when it's done.
Total Time: about 45-60 minutes
Yield: 1 row
Supplies:
- 6 oz yarn of your choice
- 1 size J hook
- scissors
Steps:
- Cast on and chain 11. Turn, making 10 single crochets across. Chain 1, turn and continue this pattern till you have 30.
- This will give you each wider row.
- When you are done with row 30 of this strip, chain 1 and make 9 singles across the edge. That will give you the 10 base row for the next part of the ripple.
- My grandmother taught me this stitch and said "the point is your mountain, the bottom is your valley".
- Now make enough for 6 mountains and you will have about a 5' strip.
- If you want a "divider strip" that allows you to sew each color with the same as that smaller strip, do the same, but with just 6 to begin with and 4 across for 5, making the same 30 rows and the same number of mountain peaks.
- This means that you will sew the first wider strip to the divider strip, then the divider strip to the second wider strip using one color. In this case white.
- Your color choices are all your own. If you choose a smaller or larger hook of course, the size will change.
- I will most likely have this done in about a month, but wanted you to have time should you want to make one.
- N-JOY!!

NOTE! I forgot to instruct you on the strip part after the initial 30 rows. I am so sorry.
You only make 20 rows after your have made the first 30. This gives you a total of 30 as the first 10 and the 20 make it 30. I woke up at 3am this morning wondering if I had told you all that so now I can sleep tonight!!
