    I started my blanket, but I’m not sure if I suppose to doble crochet together in both ends of the blanket, one end has the two chains space and the other end has first the down point and that end is not ending with the 8 double crochets I suppose to have.

      Hi Fran,

      I’d suggest trying again but maybe try stitch markers every 10 stitches to help. It is so easy to miss stiches with ripples and chevrons. I do it all the time so I always count & recount as I go along. Hope this helps!

    Love this pattern. I am about to start working on this and was wondering if you had suggestions for how many multiples of 17 to start with to make this for a queen sized bed. Or if you know how many multiples of 17 you did and then also how wide in inches it ended up being would be great! Thanks!!

      I would work multiples of 17 until you get to about 86-88 inches wide. 🙂 I do not remember how many I did for this one since it was so long ago. I wish I wrote it down in the earlier days of blogging!
