SIMPLE INCREASE DECREASE DESIGN RIPPLE

Always adored this page of.....

she's Dutch...and that may explain why it's
still a very contemporary book after 12years......and very me right now

Got lots of acrylic yarn l want to use up so doing a practise run of a ripple blanket
Using a simple increase decrease every 5th stitch
2strands of DK or Chunky ('cos that's what needs using up) and an 6mm hook
and a single row of each colour.........
NOTE: IF I WAS MAKING IT AGAIN I WOULD USE A 5MM HOOK OR 5.5 MAX.

 
but
I'm a speed merchant and wanted the simplest and fastest ripple to use this yarn up

trying out colour combo l have 7 colours being worked at the same time....not such a good idea though!!

Love the 1st 4 colours in the top right pic....but this is use up time and l don't really want to buy much more of this yarn if any to finish it, so it's got to be a multi colour project
