The basic afghan was a very simple stitch. I just repeated rows until I had it the size I wanted. It would be a great starter blanket
Well maybe I'll accidentally bring some crochet hooks home from my mum when we go and visit later in the summer. DH won't notice them I should really finish the 4 quilts that I have half made first!
ETA: she has a lot of crochet stuff that she doesn't use as she inherited a lot of hooks from my grandmother and great grandmother and did say I could have them....
Thanks everyone. I have a bad habit of starting a project and never finishing them. I was extremely happy to finish this and have it in time to give it to my cousin!
