which crochet stitch would you use?

[speckledfrog]

I love this blanket from Land of Nod and want to make a twin sized version for my son.  It's been quite some time since I've crochet, but I am comfortable with my skills.  What type of stitch do you think would work well for this design?

I like half-double crochet stitches. Single crochet can be too dense and I find double crochet to be too loose sometimes.

If you go through the back loop only, SC or HDC will give you a nice ridge, like the knitted garter stitch used in that blanket. It's used to mimic knitting fairly often! Though, I have to throw out there, a child sized garter stitch blanket is an awesome beginner knitting project.

If you want the height of double crochets without the loose/gaping holes - try a linked double crochet - so easy and it takes care of those pesky holes.
