Stitches

I want to crochet an afghan, any good patterns?

I'm not great at knitting, I'm looking for crochet. I know I could just make a big square of double crochet or something, but I want something different that I'll enjoy for a long time and looks nice.

1. My favorite afghans are smaller squares that you sew all together at the end. I find I don't get as bored with it. There are lots of great patterns online: http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/afghans.php
2. Check out this site: http://lionbrand.com/ Click on Pattern Finder Type in: Free Crochet Afghans Many choices will come up. Their patterns are rated beginner,easy, etc... Have fun:)
