A Long Time Coming!
I designed the Butter Ripple Crochet Afghan back in 2022, when Bernat Forever Fleece had just launched. I fell in love with the yarn’s halo and buttery soft colors. But then the colors I used ended up cut from the roster! So it languished… So long Pebble and My Sunshine…
But that’s silly because there are colors available that are very close. And you get to pick your own yarn and colors anyway! So it’s time for the Butter Ripple Crochet Afghan to finally see the light of day. It’s too squishy to keep to myself any longer!
While I used 2 colors of yarn, you can of course go rogue here too – that’s half the fun! Make the Butter Ripple Crochet Afghan a scrapghan, keep it all one color, it’s up to you – and each choice will give it a new look.
Not just a V stitch – a Deep V Stitch!
The Butter Ripple Crochet Afghan features simple stitches worked in interesting places, to great effect! I’m dubbing it a “Deep V” for this pattern, and it’s all explained below. And in right and left-handed video tutorials! So it’s great for motivated beginners, and it will be a relaxing, meditative make for experienced stitchers.
Here on Moogly, I like to include every size when it comes to blankets. And the Butter Ripple Crochet Afghan includes every size from Baby up to Cal King! I’ve also included the stitch multiple so you can customize it to any size you like. If you need help, or think there is a size I’ve missed, let me know so I can add it to the list!
