GAUGE:
1 ripple + 6 1/2 rows = 5 in. (12.5 cm) in pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Irresistible Baby Afghan Reviewed by Adria Waddell on 2010-03-10
I'm making this pattern right now but only in two colors, and the pattern calls for a 'ripple' stitch. It will look rippled ladies but it is a beautiful blanket...mine is almost done! Carry on it's worth it!
