My wonderful friend and neighbor just had a beautiful baby girl and of course, I had to make her a blanket! She fell in love with Vivi’s Color Block Ripple Afghan the moment she saw it. It was just what she wanted for her sweet baby girl and it is definitely something I know she will cherish forever. I am so excited to share this pattern with you. I hope you enjoy it! Happy Crocheting!

Hi!
I’m having trouble figuring out how many balls of each color to buy. The site is UK and says that each ball is 50 grams, which I can’t seem to convert to yards. Can you tell me how many balls of each color you used?
Hi Stephanie! I have updated the post to contain how many grams of each color I used. It works out to 5 balls of each color. I hope that helps!
Which comes to about $78.00. Expensive for a baby blanket!
Hi Bonnie! You can always substitute for a similar inexpensive yarn. I made this blanket for one of my best friends so I didn’t mind the cost because I knew she would really appreciate and treasure it 🙂
hi you say you used a 5mm hook is this correct as this is only 4ply yarn and requires a 3mm hook ?
I used a 5mm hook for this pattern. If you use a 3mm you will need to adjust your gauge as the blanket will be smaller.
