Hi Everyone! Just joined and looking for a ripple pattern!
Hi all! Just joined and am excited to have a place to go for help and ideas with crochet. My great-grandmother taught me basic crochet when I was a little girl and I have made several afghans but pretty much had to figure things out on my own. Some patterns are confusing and it will be nice to have ya'll to talk to.
Currently, I am looking for a ripple afghan for a 19 yo female who loves neon colors. I have bought neon orange, neon fuschia, and a variegated neon with those two colors lime green, neon blue, and neon purple in it. Sounds kind of weird but that is what she likes and I want it to be something that she will cherish for years. I purchased the yarn according to a pattern that I had but didn't look closely and after buying the yarn discovered that the pattern calls for the long needle that keeps the loop on the needle. I know that there is a name for this, but I am not familiar with it and at this time not interested in learning a new technique. This is going to be a Christmas gift. I have made a ripple that I love and cannot find the pattern. I tried to upload a pic of it and am having trouble doing that. It is a pointy ripple that appears to be single crochet but has a ribbed effect. I know I must sound dumb but I don't have much experience and would be thrilled if someone could send me some patterns that sound similar possibly with a pic. Thank you for your help. Happy crocheting!

Thank you for your reply. Wish I could make doilies. May attempt that at a later date. Your pic is beautiful. I'm assuming you made that. I sure have a lot to learn. Love your work! Thanks again for the welcome!
