SIZE 38" x 52" (96.5 x 132 cm)
GAUGE
One ripple = 5 1/2" (14 cm) measured from peak to peak.
Change hook size to obtain correct gauge.
SPECIAL STITCH
Cl (cluster): Yarn over, insert hook in indicated ch or sp and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook, *yarn over, insert hook in same ch or sp and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook; rep from * once more, yarn over and draw through all loops on hook.
STRIPE SEQUENCE
Work 2 rows with A, 2 rows with B, 4 rows with C, 2 rows with D, 4 rows with E, 4 rows with F, 8 rows with C, 2 rows with D, 4 rows with G, 4 rows with H, 2 rows with C, 4 rows with H, 4 rows with G, 2 rows with D, 8 rows with C, 4 rows with F, 4 rows with E, 2 rows with D, 4 rows with C, 2 rows with B, 2 rows with A.
NOTES
The ripple pattern is easy to do, but you may need to work several rows before pattern becomes clear.
Take care to keep the peaks and valleys of each row aligned. (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) shells are worked into the ch-3 sp peaks, and a sp is skipped at valleys.
To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops to complete st. Fasten off old color.

INSTRUCTIONS
With A, ch 164.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across—163 sts.
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc in this row and in all following rows) turn, sk first 3 sc, (3 dc in next sc, sk next 2 sc) 3 times, (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in next sc, *(sk next 2 sc, 3 dc in next sc) twice, sk next 2 sc, Cl in next sc, sk next 4 sc, Cl in next sc, (sk next 2 sc, 3 dc in next sc) twice, sk next 2 sc, (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in next sc; rep from * to last 12 sc, sk next 2 sc, (3 dc in next sc, sk next 2 sc) 3 times, dc in last sc—7 ripples at the end of this row.
Change to B.
Note: Sts are now worked in sps between sts instead of into the tops of sts as usual.
Row 3: Ch 3, turn, sk sp between first dc and first 3-dc group, 3 dc in each of next 3 sps between 3-dc groups, (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in next ch-3 sp, *3 dc in each of next 2 sps between 3-dc groups, Cl in next sp between 3-dc group and Cl, sk next sp between clusters, Cl in next sp between Cl and 3-dc group, 3 dc in each of next 2 sps between 3-dc groups, (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in next ch-3 sp; rep from * to last four 3-dc groups, 3 dc in each of next 3 sps between 3-dc groups, dc in sp between last 3-dc group and turning ch.
Rep Row 3, and continue to change color as indicated in Stripe Sequence until all 74 rows of Sequence have been worked. Fasten off.
Finishing
Weave in ends.
