crochet : ripple star blanket

It's been a while since I've posted a What's on Your Hook Wednesday.

This little project has been in the works since the end of October.  I started it during a four hour family car trip to Jay Peak, VT for a hockey tournament.  What else are you going to do on a long car ride?

The pattern is called Rainbow Ripple Baby Blanket and was created by the lovely Celeste Young.  You can download it for free on Ravelry here.

I first discovered the pattern on Sarah of 322 Yards Of Yarn's Instagram feed.  I used her gorgeous color choices to inspire mine.
 The yarn is Loops and Threads Impeccable yarn in Pumpkin, Grass, Aqua, Navy and Mustard.  I am using a size 7 hook (4.5mm).

Since these photos were taken in November, I have also added a round of Rouge.  I'm thinking the next round may be a shade of deep purple or maybe a green.  We'll see....

Happy crocheting!
