Radiating Ripple Throw

Use three color families and a total of 17 different hues to crochet the Radiating Ripple Throw. Though that number seems extreme, it's only because this pattern requires you to change colors so often to achieve the gorgeous gradient effect - you can just as easily crochet this ripple blanket with one color family and far few colors of yarn to achieve a similar effect. This easy crochet pattern is worked in a fun ripple crochet stitch that's easy to master, so once you've gotten the hang of the pattern, you'll be amazed by how quickly you finish!
