Finally decided to tackle this but I have to say, the stitch count is off and I had to add a stitch to the foundation. Stitch count is off in a couple of other places, too, which I finally figured out after frogging my work several times. But my main complaint is that I wanted to make the pattern SHOWN - but your colors do NOT match up with the pattern. Is there any place to find the original pattern, since that's the one I wanted to make? I just hope I have enough yarn of each color to finish, and am trying to figure out the original pattern. Hence, the low rating. I think the original pattern should be the one to match the picture.

I'm a beginner and am having trouble following the tutorial - way too fast for someone who's not familiar with the stitches! Is there a tutorial where the stitches are shown done much more slowly?

I've admired the ripple pattern from afar and always believed I was not up to the task! I've never used stitch markers before but I believe I will on this pattern. I guess I'm getting older and I'm more willing to try things now! I love that there are so many luscious colors of Caron Soft yarn. That may be the most difficult part of this pattern...choosing the colors!!!

Wow I love this ripple Cabin in the Woods Crochet Afghan, the colors go so well together. I have never though to the tip to placing markers on every 25th ch for easier count. I'll have to remember this tip for other ripple afghans. Thanks! This pattern is so easy to follow and I hope it will work out as pictured. I am a stitch counter while crocheting so I hope I won't have any troubles with it. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern.

I especially like the colors used for this afghan. I have found when crocheting this pattern stitch, it is important to count stitches in each row while working, in order to not miss a stitch.

I was reading the comments and I'm not sure if I will encounter the same problems. Hope not. Love the earth colors. Thanks for placing the pattern right in front.

I am still trying to work this pattern, decided to go with an easier stitch pattern, now I see that your strip pattern doesn't match your picture. Very frustrated!

The stripe pattern is for a different colour way for the same pattern.

No, actually it's NOT. If you look at the two pictures, it's not just the colors that are different - it's the entire stripe pattern. I wanted to make the original pattern, NOT the "updated" one. They are definitely different!

I agree. I wanted to make the original pattern, but am very disappointed to find that what's listed here is NOT what's shown in the original picture.

You have indicated that it is an easy pattern, but I have had nothing but trouble trying to get it to work!! I love the pattern, do you have a tutorial for it???

Is there a tutorial for this pattern? I've started it and am on 2nd row. I printed diagram but can't enlarge so I can tell where I'm going wrong with count. Thank you for your help. Lovely pattern! Cathy in GA

In the second row I don't understand what (i.e. dc or ch-1sp) means. Would you mind helping me with that?
