    1. Hello Theresa,
      If you want to make a simple blanket you could try out the super chunky kit throw pattern or for something with more of a challenge the cable knit blanket? https://www.handylittleme.com/chunky-cable-knit-blanket-pattern/
      They are both really popular patterns and the cable blanket has been given as a gift many times over, I have seen how wonderful they turn out!
      I am sure your friends will appreciate any blanket you choose.
      I hope that helps!
