Hi from Pennsylvania

[Nancy h]

hi folks, my name is Nancy and I am from Zelienople which is north of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.
I made a granny square afghan about 40 years ago and I remember it took me 3 winters to make enough squares for a large enough afghan. I also made some baby blankets, about 4 or 5 but they were always in the granny square pattern. Now I have picked up my crochet hooks again and I'd like to make a baby blanket but something other than the granny square. Does anyone know of a simple enough pattern that I could try to get back into crocheting? Also thanks for having me in your group, I hope to learn lots of new stitches.
