Big Hook Crochet

What if you need an emergency afghan? Don't laugh. It can happen.

First you grab a B-I-G hook. I mean an N, Q, or S. You'll use two or three strands of worsted-weight yarn held together or one of the bulky types now on the market.
You can use any pattern that comes easily to you. Measure the foundation chain and first row to make sure it's the width you want and just go until it's as long as you want.
There are patterns on the internet called "4 1/2 hour afghan" or "5 1/2 hour afghan". I found both at www.lionbrand.com. For another way to search patterns, you can use the word "quick" as in "quick crochet", but any pattern will do from simple single crochet (which looks pretty interesting done on a large hook) to ripple to a fancier pattern.
Hope you get to enjoy the process without any emergencies pushing you to get it done.

Happy crafting.
