Lots of Bang for Very Little Buck
Ripple patterns are perennial favorites! They look like a lot of work, but they're actually fairly simple. At its most basic, ripples are just increases and decreases lined up. When you line up decreases, you create a valley; when you line up increases, you create a mountain. You can put anything you want in between the increases and decreases. Even the most basic of ripples look super fancy, but if you then add other details, you can get some of the most stunning pieces ever!
Make a simple ripple with a long-color change yarn like Major or gradient yarn like Whirl. Take up the difficulty a step and practice your color changing skills by switching colors every so often. Add some serious pizazz by using two gradient yarns, so the colors change against each other as you switch colors every other row.
