Updated Ripple Afghan

Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®

GAUGE:

14 sts and 28 rows = 4" (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit every row) 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.

Row 1 (RS): K1, skp, *k13, CO 1 st, k1, CO 1 st, k13, s2kp2; repeat from * to last 30 sts, k13, CO 1 st, k1, CO 1 st, k13, k2tog, k1.
Row 2: K1, p1, *k14, p1; repeat from * to last st, k1. Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for Garter Zigzag.

Updated Ripple Afghan Reviewed by traceybgibbons@hotmail.com on 2013-03-24 *****
I love the look of this throw and am desperately trying to knit it. However, I keep ending up with extra stitches. I am about to attempt it again for the 6th time.
