Round Ripple Bedspread crochet

                 ROUND RIPPLE Queen Size BED-SPREAD - PATTERN

This is my "ALL" time favorite Round Ripple Pattern. I've made several Bedspreads from this pattern, However this is "NOT" one of my {JMSQ} patterns.....


The above photo is a "Queen size Round Ripple Bedspread" I made for a "Wedding Gift" for "Carlin & Hadessa Beiler in the Fall 2006. I won 1st place in the county fair & Best of show - I also won 1st place in the district fair for this bedspread.  I carefully placed X's & O's sts around this Bedspread as a reminder of God Grand Love for them...My family is truly proud... JMSQ

The original pattern is from Lynn {~Lyn's Designs~www.angelcrafts.net 1984/3rd edition rewritten 11/05 for simplicity}- who re-wrote the pattern for easy understanding.


(FOLLOW DIRECTIONS JUST AS THEY ARE WRITTEN)

I use a J hook

Row 1- chain 4 join to form a ring. ch 3, (ch 3 counts as 1 dc through out pattern). work 11 dc in ring (12 dc). join with sl st to top of beginning ch 3.

Row 2- Chain 3 1dc in same stitch and 2dc in each stitch around (24) join with slp stitch in top of Ch 3 Row 3- chain 3 *skip next stitch, 1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc in next st. repeat from * ending with 1 dc in base of chain 3, ch 2, sl st in top of ch 3.

Row 4- Sl st into ch 2 space, ch 3, 1 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in ch 2 sp, *2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in next ch 2 sp, repeat * around. Join

Row 5- Sl st into next st, ch 3, * 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in the ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next dc, skip next 2 dc, 1 dc in the next st. repeat from * around, join

Row 6- Sl st into next st, ch 3, 1 dc in next st. *2dc, ch 2, 2dc in the ch 2 sp, 1 dc in each of the next 2 dc, skip next 2 sts, 1 dc in each of the next 2 dc, repeat*, ending with skip 2 sts, join

CONTINUE working in round in pattern established always working 1 round with small shell, and 2 round with large shell. CONTINUE repeating rounds 7-8-9 (the number of DC will increase on each round between the "ch 2 space" and the "skip 2 sts")

For most of the Bed-Spreads I went 10 rows then switched to the next color, 10 rows, then next color Etc.( for a total of 60 rows) add trim of your choice-


#1 Trim:
I do sl st, ch 1, hdc & 1 dc in same space, skip 1 st, and sl st into next st, ch 1, hdc, 1 dc, in same st, skip 1 and repeat around


#2 Trim
You can also do a shell trim around which is truly beautiful as well/
