Afghans and Blankets
"Bulky yarn can be a dream to crochet with as well as make the most beautiful textured pieces. I made the 8 Point Star Afghan last year to use as a lapghan or throw but as the days grew colder, I wished I had a warmer lapghan to keep out the cold so I thought Bulky yarn would be perfect for this. I really hope you like this design.

Pair this soft, bulky yarn with a large crochet hook and you are all set to start and finish this pattern in the same weekend. Double Crochet V-Stitch. Normally, the V-Stitch has a chain 1 or 2 in the middle. Since this yarn is bulky, I opted not to work any chain stitched between the two double crochet stitches that make up the V-Stitch. While the yarn is bulky, the blanket itself is not thick. The larger crochet hook paired with the open and lacy stitch makes an afghan with a gorgeous drape that has a soft and squishy feel too.

Take a gauge. If you don't mind a slight difference in measurements, gauge isn't essential. You could even go up a hook size, and use super bulky yarn for a larger blanket.
