My Scraps Ripple...

It fits a Queen-size bed and is super-heavy. I made it with mostly Red Heart SS yarn. I was trying to get rid of it all because it makes my nose itch like crazy when I crochet with it.

A close-up of the edging which is five rounds of sc with 3sc in each corner, then the last round is *3dc in same stitch, skip a stitch, slip stitch in next stitch, skip a stitch*, repeat between * and * all the way around.

Adorable and l'm full of admiration for your staying power...just haven't got the staying power to make one...maybe one day
Starting a similar project with acrylics but gave up after about 7/8 rows hehe
Thanks for sharing will you be gifting to a lucky family member/friend if it makes your nose itch?

I love it! Your border is wonderful and I so appreciate you sharing it with us. I have a scrap ripple in the basket and am making it big enough for a bed also. I figured it would be better than a blanket any day of the winter. Mine is only fourteen colors long so far, but already I enjoy looking at it and naming the projects to which the yarn used to belong. Thank you for sharing. ~Kelly
