ACK! Need Afghan Pattern ASAP!

[Frangipani]

Hiya!

Since I just recently came into a huge stash of yarn, I've decided I am going to make a blanket/afghan for a wedding coming up in two weeks. Not to mention I am POOR at the moment. Anyway, I'm desperately looking for something to make.

 

My skill level is intermediate I'd say. I've only recently started reading patterns and have never tried ripples but might like giving that a go. I hope to get it completely done before the wedding. I'm sure I can if I work on it every night before the day and I get started ASAP!

 

Also, most of the yarn I will be using is a bit on the chunky side as I want it to be a sort of couch-cuddle blanket.

 

Thanks in advance my c'ville buddies!

Well you know there are lots here including ripples. Have fun picking one.

I don't have any ripple experience, but how about a giant granny square/rectangle? With chunky yarn and a big hook, that should fly along.

 

Here's instructions on how to start a granny rectangle

You just keep going around and around until it's the size you want. I made this one for my son (he picked the colors )

If I was going one is a hurry I would definitely look for a "mile a minute" afghan. They fly along!

If you have a large quantity of one colour i would suggest an Aran Afghan

Neeto! Thanks everyone. You really came through for me since my internet is slow as snails lately I have to get started tonight!! I'm sure one of those ones where I can just get it to the right size and finish off will be good.

 

Nik is helping the couple-to-be move right now and he is going to scope out their colour scheme and the size of their couch for me!

 

Thanks again!!
