Basic C2c Chunky Afghan
"This crochet pattern is for a basic, chunky, beautifully textured corner to corner afghan. Worked in two strands of worsted weight yarn (or one strand of chunky weight yarn), this cozy afghan works up fairly quickly. My afghan is worked in a solid color, but you could use some Caron Cakes yarn (or similar) for an easy, colorful afghan, or change colors as you see fit. For my blanket, I used about 8.33 (1/3) Skeins of Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn in the Ivory colorway (two strands held together). In it's place, you could use one strand of chunky/bulky (#5) yarn. 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. This afghan took me just over 11 hours to work up."

Little Ripple Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern
"Blankets are a necessary part of life. So, you might as well have one you like. The little ripple crochet baby blanket is sweet and simple. It would be a great present for a newborn. Baby blankets are often the first object a baby touches. They get swaddled up in one right after they're born. For this reason, I always recommend making easy crochet baby blankets for hospitals to keep on hand. Crochet baby blanket patterns come in so many different designs and styles. They usually come in a standard baby blanket size and similar color palettes. The baby blanket dimensions could easily be changed to suit your needs."
