I have seen this pattern on pinterest. It is from Ravelry. I don't mind paying for the pattern but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a link? Thanks, Ann

Never mind, I was not allowed to add the pic

The first one is done in either puff or popcorn stitches, similar to this pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/babys-abcs-afghan.  Google crochet or cross stitch charted alphabet patterns, there are a bunch of free ones on the net; also a lot at antiquepatternlibrary.org.  You can google and print blank graph paper if you don't have any handy to make your design.

 

The second one is a free pattern by Kim Guzman, you can find it here. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/personalized-baby-afghan

It's a baby blanket, but you can use the 'graph ghan' idea to make a bigger blanket.

 

Another way to 'write on' crochet is to use surface slip stitch, the nice thing is that you can do it free-hand, write in script, draw pictures etc. after the fact.  It's really easy, crochet embroidery.  Here's a tutorial http://www.crochetspot.com/how-to-crochet-surface-crochet-or-surface-slip-stitch/

Here's the link to the pattern on Ravelry. I found it by using her Etsy name on Ravelry.
