I just found you guys while searching for some help.

I need to make a crochet afghan (size for a 7 yr old) out of Red Heart

Light and Lofty all one color. Does anyone rec a pattern. Searched and really have not found any. Guessing to use a size N hook.

What about a large granny sqaure with a N hook. How will that work. I q hook will be way to holey. Any ideas would be helpful. Need to start asap

 

THanks:confused

First of all, let me :welcome you to Crochetville! I haven't used an N hook for a large Granny square afghan. But if you are interested, I do have a quick afghan pattern that you can use an N hook for and the pattern is really easy! Just let me know and I will get that pattern out for you....but then again, are you looking for an afghan that isn't too HOLEY??

Welcome to Crochetville. I'm from Minnesota also (near Anoka)!

 

For a really fast, soft afghan intended to cozy up to rather than covering a bed, using a Q hook, here is a fast one. You need to do a swatch (say 10 stitches wide) to figure out your gauge. Then you'll know how many to cast on for the afghan in the size you want.

 

Homespun yarn

 

Holding 2 threads throughout, cast on.

Row 2 - Double crochet in every stitch

Row 3 - Double crochet in the back of the stitch

Continue row 3 until length you want

Last row - double crochet in every stitch.

 

Another option would be a ripple afghan in a bulky, but you'll have to check for patterns.

Welcome to Crochetville. A granny is a quick and easy way to cover a lot of area in a little time. The main drawback is that it is square. If that is fine you can cover more area with fewer rounds by using a treble instead of a double.

Good luck.:hug

But I've lived ALL OVER the local seven county area. Just moved to FL two years ago. We're going back to MN this year for Christmas:sheepxmas b/c my SIL is expecting her first BABY on Dec 14th!! :cheer And, of course, I'm making a Baby Afghan.....not sure if I'll have time to do much more than that though.

 

Anyway, welcome!!!

I love that yarn, and oh how it would be to have a blanky made from it. I know that they have a pattern paper in my LYS, for that specific yarn. If you want it PM me your address. Click on my name above for my email address.
