If you know how to crochet or are just learning how to crochet, chances are you are going to be making a baby blanket. If you are just beginning I would recommend a medium weight yarn, a basic four-ply yarn of good quality.
The term afghan was derived from the textiles that are produced in Afghanistan since they are comparable to the shawls and wraps used in the region. Crocheting relieves stress and muscle tensions after a hard day at the office as crocheting easily takes your mind off from work and draws you deeper into a solitary hobby where you can collect your thoughts as you let your fingers and the crochet hook do their work. There are some that sell patterns and some that will tell you where to get them for free! Yes, free.
It can get intimidating, but contains enough stitches that you usually get the hang of each stitch and are ready for the next one. If you are just beginning crochet, it may be helpful to purchase a crochet scarf pattern to help you along. So each new loop is formed by catching the yarn and drawing it through the previous loop.
Once completed the finished product can be given away to family and friends. You just never know what works of art are hiding in your fingertips!
