go to warm up america and get the basic instructions for a square. They have suggestions for different stitch techniques for you to try out to make a nice sampler afghan. colors are always difficult, but squares are a good way to use up yarn. just make sure all your yarns use the same gauge. for color choices, if you are having trouble, go to the hardware store and look at paint suggestions, i like the way they use colors.

Wow! That is what I am doing now! I'm crocheting squares and attaching them to make a blanket! What I suggest to do is just make a lot of basic granny squares. I dont have a web site for the instructions though. Somebody gave me a copy of the instructions on how to make it so I don't know the web site for it sorry. But I hope that you have fun making the blanket like I'm having fun. God bless.

You should do a Granny Square blanket. I did a Yahoo search for 'granny square crochet instructions' and it came up with 10 sites on the first page. I think they are all free. Check them out to find the one that's easiest for you to understand. Good Luck!

Granny squares, worked in two or more colors, are stitched together to make decorative afghans, shawls and other accessories. Open spaces between clusters of double crochet produce a lacy effect. Check project instructions in craft books for specific granny-square patterns.
Instructions
STEP 1: Chain stitch the number of stitches specified in pattern. STEP 2: Make a slip stitch in top chain to make the chain form a ring. STEP 3: Chain three. (This counts as the first of three double crochets.) Make two double crochets, chain two, make three double crochets in ring. STEP 4: Wrap yarn over hook and draw through three loops on hook with one loop remaining on hook. STEP 5: Continue sequence of three double crochets with two chains between them as directed in your pattern. STEP 6: Switch yarn colors between rounds
