Ripples

  Thanks to Lion Brand Yarn for use of their photos.
This is called the Shaded Ripple Afghan.

I've been casting about looking for another easy but nice-looking project.  What about ripples?  They can be used for anything flat - scarves, lap robes, shawls, afghans - and several things that aren't flat.

I ran across a tutorial for an "easy wave" ripple.  It has peaks and valleys but isn't as pointy as a standard ripple.  If you check this out, please remember that it is written with English instructions.  Please use double crochet where the pattern says treble.
