17. Coastal Driftwood Striped Ripple Throw
What This Idea Means
Evoking stormy ocean shores, driftwood, and sandy beaches, this rippling blanket uses sea-inspired hues and textured ridged stitches.
How to Make It
Alternate rows of ocean blue, seafoam green, sandy beige, and stormy gray. Use front-post double crochet ripples to create raised ridges that catch the light and mimic gentle ocean waves washing onto a sandy shore. Finish with a clean, straight blocked top and bottom edge.
Tips and Variations
- Change colors every two rows to create a balanced, dynamic stripe sequence.
- Choose a soft cotton-blend yarn for a relaxed, beachy drape.
- Style tossed casually over an outdoor patio armchair or living room sofa.
