Easy Crochet Ripple Blanket Tutorial 

Gosh, I still miss Melanie so much. She was such a bright light on this platform, taught me a lot. Much love to her family. ~Cynthia

Everytime I watch Melanie's videos, I get so sad. I miss her so much!

Just want to leave a HUGE thank you to Melanie's family for leaving all of her wonderful videos up for us followers to continue to reference! This ripple blanket was the first project I ever completed as a novice crocheter. This would've never been accomplished without Melanie's careful explanation & bright spirit!! She was truly, truly inspiring! She lives on through the beautiful things she created and I am thankful I am still able to learn from her. She will be forever missed.💕

Thank you for not taking her page down. I use her patterns.

RIP, Melanie. Thanks for helping me get back into crocheting after so many years. You were an inspiration, and had the greatest spirit. You'll be missed.

I still love this pattern, I still keep this video in my list. I haven’t forget you. We miss you ❤

Just discovered Melanie's videos. She was a gifted teacher, so I'm heartsick for her family and for our community of her appreciative students.

I learned quilting with Melanie 10 years ago and now I watch her crochet videos. Still love her voice and personality. Her legacy is amazing ❤️

I’ve purchased the exact yarn she used - since she taught me this stitch and made it so easy I want a little reminder of her - so matching blankets it is. The world definitely lost a bright light the day she passed.

I so miss you Melanie Ham you were awesome & in honor of you I will try my hand at the ripple stitch and make a blanket. You are forever in y heart🧡😥

I still miss Melanie so very much. I came back to this video, I remember her lovely take on this stitch and what an incredible teacher she is. Also, it's comforting to listen to her voice again. Now I've decided to make this aas a lapghan for my sister in law who is in a nursing home. I know that Melanie is in Heaven and is interceding for us in prayer.

Who's excited for a new fall crochet project! I've got an easy and adorable fall crochet ripple blanket that goes nice and slow. Great to work on as the evening get chilly, but it doesn't take a ton of brain power - you can watch netflix while you do it ;). If you like it, could you give me a thumbs up? I appreciate you! Happy Stitching!

Absolutely ❤️ your work! Your color choices are always pleasing to the eye!

My favorite pattern and so much fun crocheting along with you. Keep 'em coming 🧡 Awesome tutorial, you do a great job teaching crochet!

Such a great pattern and as usual I love your tutorial/style of explaining! Thanks so much for sharing, excited to get crocheting 🤗

I am absolutely loving this pattern! The ridge makes such a clean beautiful line between each color. Love love love!

Just started this blanket using donated wool. Found the tutorial very easy to follow. I've done 2 rows already! Thank you Melanie and your family for continuing to allow us access to these wonderful videos.

Love how simple you have made this pattern. So easy to follow. Thank you Melanie x

I miss watching you Melanie. You taught me so much when I started out crocheting again 🩷

Thank you for showing this stitch. I was having trouble with it but you explained and showed it so much better!!

Missing you Melanie though still enjoying the heck outta your tutorials. Thank you for keeping them up! Love, prayers and hugs to Melanie's loved ones.

Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions. I've looked at a few other videos but yours is by far the easiest for me to understand. So I've no excuse now but to start my blanket 💖💖💖

Sending to family with love, thank you for keeping being you. God love you

Thank you so much for teaching us how to create this wonderful blanket. I haven’t tried a blanket yet. Hopefully soon I’ll work up the confidence to try this. I’ve been crocheting since April

You're tutorials are ALWAYS valuable!!👧

Thank you for this wonderful video! I love your "explain-as-you-go" tutorial and I think I can do this! I have crocheted 40+ years and this will be my first Ripple afghan! Thank you!!!

Thankyou Melanie. This is just beautiful. I also love your color combinations xxx

I LOVE the way you show us how to add a new colour & when to add it. Crocheting in the back stitch when changing colour gives that lovely "ridge" look to your work & I'll be using it on all my chevron & ripple blankets from now on.... BIG THANKS MELANIE

I am making one right now in teals and blues. Thank you so much for all you do!

Your videos are so motivating! Please keep them coming!

Very nice pattern and great tutorial. Thanks for the detailed explanation in your blog also. Appreciate your efforts 😊

This was my first big crochet project I am forever grateful for your videos rip gorgeous ❤️❤️

Hi Melanie 😃 Just taking a moment to say thank you! I only watch a few RU-vid contributor’s tutorials. One of my first crochet projects that were good enough to gift to someone were products of your basket tutorials. The recipients were very happy to have more original organisation vessels. Thank you! You explain the processes, the why’s, the alternatives so beautifully and I feel as though you give us so much of your patience and time and skills. I cannot thank you enough for making it look so easy... which gave me the confidence to try things I found daunting. Very simply, thank you for being you! I love this ripple blanket and look forward to creating a few, as gifts. One of these days, I’ll actually, keep one of my crochet projects for myself. 😂 keep being awesome, please! 🥰

Fabulous and to the point 💜 Thank You for sharing your time and Talent 💫 Melanie

Your 1st blanket is BEAUTIFUL!! I would LOVE those colors!!

Tonight I'm gonna start this blanket as a present for my best friend that lives very far from me. Hopefully I'll have it done by Christmas. Wish me luck. Melanie,you were one of a kind. We will continue doing your videos and we love you 😍

Finally, this is so easy to follow, thank you. God bless you 🙏

I just started crocheting again and have been looking on RU-vid for good tutorials. I have tried using crochet books but I can't follow them. Your tutorial is perfect! I will have to buy more yarn so I can make this blanket. I just made hats and scarves and simple blankets for Christmas presents this year.

Excellent instruction and great tips! Thank you very much for the pattern and the informative video.

This is a fantastic tutorial. You’ve made it so easy. Thank you.

I Love Love Love that you are doing the whole blanket and not just a sample...that really helps me... Big Thumbs up

Hello, Melanie! Hope you are well. Thank you for this tutorial! Loved the colors you chose.

I MISS YOU so much!!! May you continue to RIHP!! I'm making this for myself and I know it's going to take a while for my queen size bed. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach me this stitch. ❤❤❤

This is beautiful. Very easy to follow too! Trying this with my next project. Thanks!!

Wanted to start a new blanket, when I saw this video come up I knew I had to make it. Melanie was so awesome, miss her and hope her family and friends are doing well. God bless you all!

I just started this afghan yesterday and I love the pattern. You wouldn’t believe how long I’ve wanted to do a ripple afghan. Thanks for inspiring me to get it done 😆

You explained each step very well, the edging is perfect, the biggest difficulty with crochet is knowing where the very edges of your work are. I kind of like the hanging bits on the blanket you did about 10 years ago, adds whimsy. Thanks Melanie.

I'm glad her channel is still active...she was a beautiful soul and always felt the goodness she shared in her post

Thank you for explaining and making this look simple.... thank you for sharing 🥰

Very pretty blanket! It’s a great idea while watching Netflix! Will definitely make this! Thank you for sharing! 🙏😻🧶

Thanks Melanie the blanket is lovely and looks easy to make!

I like the chevron pattern. Love the colors. Thank you for the demo.

Oh, gosh. I just started following this lovely pattern, not realizing she had passed. My sympathy to all who are missing her.

This is AMAZING. I am about 1/4 of the way through my blanket and I am so happy I found this tutorial! My boyfriend's mom makes the cutest crochet blankets and I wanted to make one as well, and this is perfect. Also, the Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek yarn is awesome, and so many color choices!

Understood your directions perfectly! I used to make the chevron aphgan with the holes in it for years. This is much better.

I am excited about starting to crochet again. I have chemo every other week and this project is perfect to keep me busy and help the time pass by! Also, love the color combo! Thanks Melanie!

Love your videos Melanie! So fun and amazing thank you for your content :)

I started out making a ripple afghan that is in 3's instead of 5's and I love this one so much better. It is my go-to pattern. I can whip up one of these in 2-3 days and everyone loves them. I think I'm on #16. Thanks for sharing

So Gonna miss your tutorials Melanie 🙏 God Bless your beautiful family ❤️💙❤️💙

Look’s so easy, when someone else is doing it. Love your tutorials. Ty for sharing.❤️❤️

Thank you for this tutorial!! So beautiful!!

I like how you do the ridge. I haven't seen that before

I'm not much on counting my self. But I'm Sure I can do this one. Thank you Melanie for being so patient with all of us beginners... 😊👍💖

Thank you so much for thoroughly explaining how to make this stitch. I've tried several times and always end up off. I almost threw in the towel. I will try again following your instructions 🤗

Wow!! So beautiful. I’m gonna try it out.

Started this yesterday, thanks for the pattern Melanie😊

VERY PRETTY!!! GOING TO TRY AND MAKE A BLANKET. THANK YOU FOR SHARING 😊💗

Omg...I love the color combo!! Thank you for sharing, I've never had success with this stitch, I'm going to try this one. You explain it great!💜😊

Can’t wait to make one for my mom!!! :) thanks for all the details it really helps

I'm using this pattern to make a watermelon colored baby blanket for our third child. After attempting many ripples that just didn't seem to be written correctly (or maybe just clashing with my baby brain) this one is a huge success. Thanks so much!!

When I have to count a lot of stitches, I use locking stitch markers ever 25 stitches so that if (when lol) I lose count, I only have to count my 25s or since my last marker. You could also use safety pins.

Excellent tutorial! I have tried this blanket a few times and I always get off on my decrease or increase stitches. You have inspired me to try again. Thanks so much!

Never sen it done quite this way but I like it. It’s beautiful. Thank you.

Thank you soooooo much for this clear and concise tutorial. I watched three others before finding you. Yours was the only one that clearly showed what you were doing. Thank you. I’m on my third row after many false starts and it looks fantastic. Again thanks.

What a beautiful blanket, Melanie.

Loves your video 🥰 easy to follow. I just done it
