1 | Rainbow Ripple Baby Blanket
This beautiful blanket was design by the very talented Celeste Young.
She says that while the formula for a round ripple blanket is nothing new she loves to use rainbow colors and add white stripes to create contrast.
It’s her go-to pattern when she wants to make a handmade gift for babies and special kids, and it works up quickly too!
The pattern is written in US crochet terms and is available as a free Ravelry get in English, Norwegian, German, Spanish and French.
I’ve added my copy to my Ravelry library already and can’t wait to get started!

This is Jill’s 4th rainbow ripple blanket! Isn’t is beautiful? She used Red Heart Super Saver Solids yarn and has been working with two strands held double on a 10mm hooks.
3 | Ramona’s Rippling Welcome
Adrianna made this blanket for her goddaughter using two skeins of Lion Brand Mandala. I love the colors, and because the yarn is self striping you don’t have to worry about switching yarns to change colors.

Lily used Caron Baby Cakes in Dreamy Sky to make her version of the blanket, and mixed things up by adding some cute pompoms to the corners!

Remember how I said you didn’t have to make this blanket baby sized? Here’s how it looks on a full-sized bed, and it’s heavy and warm so perfect for the winter!

Caron Cakes really do make the perfect yarn choice for this 12 star blanket. Look how well this one turned out! So bright and colorful. I love the purples, and pinks against the yellow!
9 | Baby Blanket with Tassels
Arlene added a personal touch to this popular pattern by adding tassels to each of the star points!
Here’s a quick video tutorial in case you’ve never made yarn tassels before.

Wow! Andi certainly knows how to combine two patterns to come up with something special! She used the popular rainbow ripple pattern to make this adorable lovey blanket combining it with the amigurumi unicorn head and legs from a YouTube tutorial! I think the lovey (and Andi) are amazing!

Courteney took the ripple blanket and turned it into a sunflower using her wonderful choice of bright yarn colors.

And this final variation of the 12 point star crochet blanket was also made by the super talented Courtney. It’s a representation of a the solar system for a little boy’s nursery and I think it’s out of this world!
