Crochet zig-zag blankets looks amazing and is one of the easiest to learn. It uses basic stitches, and simply joining them together at the bottom and top evenly creates the ripple.
It’s really easy, so if you are a beginner, this technique should interest you. Use it to make beautiful colorful blankets, or try making anything else – dresses, scarves, placemats. Gauge is not important here, but try multiple different yarns to figure out what works best for your idea. Explore our recommendations and get inspired!
