Two Color Easy Afghan
The very first time I tried this pattern, I used a very thick yarn which resulted in a small rug instead of a blanket. So I would recommend this pattern highly if you are interested in making a rug. It is easy and the perfect stitch for a rug. The blanket pictured above is the result of using a medium weight (4 ply).
Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver
Colors: Turqua & Spring Green
Crochet pattern at:
http://www.favecrafts.com/Crochet-Baby-Blankets/Two-Color-Easy-Afghan-Crochet-Pattern
The edging is simple.
Start with a single crochet, skip 1 space, chain 3, single crochet, skip 1 space, chain 3, until all sides of blanket are complete. I used 3 single crochets
in each corner.
