        Beautiful selection of colours! Is Chuniky the name of the pattern, or does it just mean chunky wool?

        @Natalie: Hi Natalie, my apologies I am not good at writing the details. I was referring to the wool. it is heavier than DK or 8ply and the brand I was using it is described as "chucky weight" so it is quite a heavy yarn. So If I don't have enough of the colour in Chunky I use two strands of DK or 8 ply together to get the same thickness. I hope that explains it.
        I used a very simple ripple method. Use counts of 12 to make a chevron and multiply from there. So for instance to make a 12 chevron ripple I would chain 144 plus 3 for my first DC.
        Then DC in fourth stitch from the hook, DC in the SAME stitch then four dc. dc 3 together dc 6 then dc 3 in the same stictch repeat to the last dc3tog then dc in the next four stitches dc in last stitch and dc again in the last stitch, this gives a nice straight edge.
        Then ch 3 (counts as 1st dc) dc in same stitch and repeat the instructions from the previous row. So essentially each beg and end of the row has two dc in the same stitch.
