Crochet people: I have Red Heart Baby Cloud yarn. Is it good for blankets, what size hook? Any ideas? Thanks?
The yarn is thick calls for large hook. Any pattern suggestions?
Here are links to several free patterns for crocheted baby afghans, baby blankets. You can use any brand or weight of yarn with these patterns (just adjust the size of hook you use to match the weight of yarn you’re using). If you use the same starting chain as the pattern calls for and you use a thicker yarn than the pattern example, the blanket will turn out wider than the pattern example (if you don’t want it to be wider, you can always figure out how many stitches there are in each repeat of the pattern and then subtract from the starting chain – you’ll just be doing less repeats across the row then).
These patterns have extra photos with close-up looks at the stitches to help in crocheting the patterns –
