About the Projects

Ripples Blanket

The blanket is a one-size design worked in a classic ripple or chevron-style pattern — one of the most beloved techniques in the knitting world. Ripple patterns are created by working a sequence of increases and decreases at regular intervals across the row, producing the characteristic wave or zigzag effect. The result is a cosy, textured throw with a dynamic, eye-catching surface that suits both contemporary and traditional home interiors.

• Project type: Blanket / throw
• Construction: Flat knitting worked in rows, using a ripple (chevron) stitch repeat
• Techniques: Increases (likely yarn over or make one) and decreases (k2tog or sl1, k1, psso) worked in a repeating sequence to form the ripple wave
• Sizing: One size

Ripples Cushion

The matching cushion cover brings the same ripple stitch aesthetic to a home accessory that pairs perfectly with the blanket. Working a cushion cover in a ripple pattern allows knitters to practise and refine the stitch sequence on a smaller, more manageable scale before — or after — tackling the full blanket. The cushion is designed to coordinate with the blanket as part of a cohesive Ocean Treasure collection of designs.

• Project type: Cushion cover
• Construction: Flat knitting in rows, shaped to fit a standard cushion pad
• Techniques: Ripple stitch pattern, seaming to assemble the cushion cover
• Sizing: One size

Stitches and Techniques Used

The ripple stitch pattern at the heart of both designs is a classic knitting technique that has been popular for generations. It relies on a disciplined repeat of increases and decreases placed symmetrically across each row to create peaks and troughs — the signature wave formation. Key stitches and techniques likely featured in this pattern include:

• Knit stitch (k) — the foundation of the ripple rows
• Purl stitch (p) — used to create texture and definition between ripple sections
• Decrease stitches — such as k2tog (knit two together) or skpo (slip one, knit one, pass slipped stitch over) to form the valleys of the ripple
• Increase stitches — to form the peaks of the ripple wave
• Casting on and casting off — standard techniques to begin and finish each piece
• Seaming — to assemble the cushion cover from knitted panels

The ripple pattern is worked as a repeating stitch sequence across the row, making it straightforward to memorise once the rhythm is established — a satisfying and meditative knit for intermediate crafters.

Yarn and Materials

Both the blanket and cushion are designed to be knitted in Sirdar Jewelspun With Wool Chunky, shown in the pattern in shade 203. This yarn is a chunky-weight wool blend that has been crafted to mimic the look and feel of popular hand-spun yarns, offering rich, jewel-like tonal colour variations that add depth and visual interest to even simple stitch patterns. The wool content makes the yarn soft, warm, and comfortable, while the chunky weight means projects knit up quickly
