Simple Edging

 This week has been rippletastic

working with the most pretty ice cream colours!

My colour palette of

 Stylecraft Special DK

has been most popular

lemon, wisteria, candy floss, spring green, 

apricot, clematis, fondant and sherbet.

Oooooh how I love to ripple it is so therapeutic!

This pattern by Lucy from Attic 24 blog is called

 the neat ripple pattern

 and I can highly recommend it.

I am always being asked how I edge my ripples and v stitch blankets

using this very simple narrow edge

First I make 1 round of dc (English) 

putting 1 dc in each stitch along the zigzag edges

with a decrease at the valley and an increase at the mountain

then 2 in each stitch along the straight sides.

Then for the 2nd round I make

1 dc, 3 chain, 1 dc in the same stitch

miss a stitch

repeat.

This forms a lovely little wavy edge

 which will follow the zig zag edge happily

 and also sit neatly on the straight sides.

I hope you enjoy using this free pattern and colour recipe.
