The Story
Rainbow Ripple Class introduces you to a classic crochet motif that’s rhythmic, colorful, and incredibly satisfying to make.
In this class, you’ll learn how to work a ripple stitch from the center out, creating a beautiful star-shaped blanket. Starting at the center allows the waves to radiate outward, building a dynamic shape that’s perfect for bold color choices. Make it all in one color, use a color-changing yarn, or create bright rainbow stripes.
We’ll walk through the stitch pattern step by step so you understand how the increases form those signature peaks and valleys. Once you see how the rhythm works, it becomes wonderfully meditative — and easy to customize.

- How ripple stitches create peaks and valleys
- Working a ripple pattern from the center outward
