My mother crochted my newphew a blanket for graduation a few years ago. It has come apart. He wants me to repair it but I really don't know how to start unless I undo the big section that is damaged and start anew and attach the other section back to it when i get it repaired. Please help me.

It depends on how much as come undone. The pp gave a great suggestion.
If the damage isn't too bad you can use a matching or complementary yarn to sew the damaged parts. With a little trial and error you can often make stitches that will match the crochet stitch and if it's not a large area you won't be able to tell.
If it's a large section the best thing to do is probably to rip out the damaged rows and do them over. Not the fastest fix, but it will be the most durable fix.
If you're busy now ask him to give you the blanket and tell him you'll work on it after the holiday season has passed.

you will probably need a bit of yarn to match the colour that has come apart. if you crochet, it is easy to repair as it is mostly single crochet . you pull out a few inches from where it has come apart and start with the new yarn and carry on in the pattern until you have filled in the hole then tie your ends in double knots ,then work the loose ends in to hide. I have done this before and it isn't as difficult as it sounds. Hope this helps a bit. Wish I could do it for you.
