A ripple pattern has always been popular with crocheters.

The pattern can vary depending on the color combinations used and the width of each ripple stripe.

This colorful arrangement designed by Elizabeth Grace Linquist is especially pretty. It is a 14-color sequence repeated twice and is a favorite of its owner, Elizabeth’s son Karl Linquist, for whom she made it years ago.
