Baby Ripple Blanket!

[JenGoPop]

Pretty!  I love the pattern.  I've been looking for a wave or ripple pattern without any little holes in it.  I might just take up this one!

This looks great! I too have been wanting to make a ripple blanket and yours just may have given me the inspiration!

I love the colour choices!  So simple, but truly beautiful.  I too would love to know how many skeins you used.  I have 2 friends that are preggers and I'd like to try this out as one of them.

Thanks for your comments, everyone 

I've never used cotton-ease for a blanket. How does it drape?

Pretty well! I used a 4.5mm hook, so it's quite airy and light - I was going for an almost cellular blanket feel. I think it might be a bit stiff with a smaller hook though. Depends on your tension and how firm you like your blankets.

How many skeins of Cotton Ease did this take?

Just one of each colour, and I easily have enough left over to make a matching bib or wash cloth or something of that nature! I started with a chain of 126 stitches, and the finished blanket is a little under 2.5' square
