Granny stitch blankets in a heavy wool (Aran) on a biggish hook are pretty quick and you can design your own stripe pattern and size. Finish off with a simple or fancy border, I can find pattern for borders for you.

I was thinking rows rather than a square but now you mention it, yes a hoooooooge granny square is a great idea.

EP the cushion reminded me of a blanket I'd seen recently - littledovedesigns.co.uk Paintbox have a lot of colours in their (acrylic) Aran, I'm using it at the moment for a blanket and it's fine to work with & not pricey: lovecrochet.com |

Oh no I'm confused! Granny strip looks nice and easy but the chevron looks cool!!

Another question- this jumper I'm doing is acrylic yarn do I need to block it before I put it together I get rid of the curly edges or won't they go?

Do a ripple blanket (Attic24)! I love making them. I always use Stylecraft Special for blankets

Was also going to suggest a chevron or a ripple. I'm between projects. I was going to crochet a cream tunic to go over a bikini but I've left it too late for my hols, though I suppose I could take it with me. |
