I am not entirely sure what you mean by “ripple stitch” but I am assuming that you mean a stitch something like this http://www.lionbrand.com/cgi-bin/faq-search.cgi?store=/stores/eyarn&faqKey=355&language=En or http://www.lionbrand.com/cgi-bin/faq-search.cgi?store=/stores/eyarn&faqKey=360&language=En or http://www.crochetcabana.com/tutorials/ripple.htm . These patterns are very simple. I hope that this is what you were looking for. Have a Great Day!

Your single crochet or double crochet will be fine – I stay away from stitches with holes to avoid their little fingers getting tangled in the blanket. I would recommend the new blanket be 3×3 so they can use it in the crib, to wrap baby, to lay on the floor when baby plays on the floor, to decorate the room with etc. Your yarn will yeild an average of a 4″ sc square per skein so 16 skeins plus I always buy an extra. You can always return the extra. I would also recommend getting a yarn the new mother can wash and dry easily because she’s going to be very busy with the baby. This yarn can be machine washed but not machine dried. That yarn also says to tie the ends together well, usually it’s not recommended to tie especially when changing colors. As plush as this yarn is, I would buy a yarn that can be thrown in the washer and dryer without worry, and made without worry that the yarn will come detached because the ends didn’t get tied securely enough.

Three things, I have a book and will have to look it up and you can see if you can find it or I would have to type it out for you as I don’t know how to scan and send it to you or copy it and mail it. I also have a pattern for a broomstick lace that is similar but you have an edge and won’t have to worry about how to fasten the top off. e-mail meEDIT I am sorry I did not know how short the directions were so here goes.Crochet hook F or 58 oz sport yarn [or baby yarn]3″ hairpin loomGauge: 5 sc per inchNOTE: Yarn is worked double throughout. Each loop has two strands of yarn which will be referred to as a SINGLE LOOP. Make 14 strips of 120 Single Loops on on each side of the loom. Join Single Loops by pulling 2 single loops through 2 single loops always starting at the same end and working from right side. Fasten last 2 single loops securely. Finish sides by pulling 2 single loops through2 single loops. Weave in all ends. EDGING – - -Make a strip of hairpin lace long enough to go around four sides of blanket allowing a little extra for fullness at corners. It is better to have too much as it can be pulled out. Finish one side of this strip by pulling 2 single loops through 2 single loops. This side will be sewed to the edge of the blanket. Leave single loops on the other side loose to form fringes. This may be cut if desired.

No. While statistics show that 93% of those killed in Iraq are civilians (and I’m sure many are children), there are no known cases similar to Vietnam where babies were deliberately targeted face to face with soldiers (like the My Lai Massacre). I’m not saying that it’s not happening in these wars, just that it’s not known and photographed the way My Lai was. So I don’t really think the phrase holds as much weight in this war, although there are plenty of documented cases of women being massacred or raped in this war. In Vietnam, everybody knew babies were among the dead when civilians were killed with bombs. But it was the photos from My Lai that really got people to start using that phrase, because the murders were done up close and personal.

It’s stereotyping to use blue (in the Americas), or some other colours in other cultures. Babies are cute no matter what colour the blanket is. They have poor vision at first, so they tend to like bright colours. It’s only the parents that want “baby blue” or “baby pink”. I like to go against the grain, and introduce some non-gender specific colour… or maybe in variegated… or stripes of all colours!! Make it in a pattern that is interesting, in pleasing colours, and it will get used. It might just become the baby’s favourite!

I don’t know of a free pattern online for a baby afghan with instructions written for afghan stitch … but you can substitute afghan stitch for rows of solid single crochet by chaining one less chain for your starting chain. The Baby Zoo Afghan could be made in afghan stitch (instead of single crochet) and then the animals done in cross-stitch as the pattern calls for. The starting chain for afghan stitch is one less than the starting chain for single crochet (because there is no turning chain in afghan stitch).
