Anyone who loves to Crochet?

Hey guys..... does anyone know if you can make a blanket just doing single crochets with a giant chunky yarn? Or does it have to be fancy?
I'm thinking I'd like to do a temperature blanket next year, and doing a row every day is going to be hard, so I'd like to use a chunky yarn and make the rows shorter.

If you have a large enough hook for chunky yarn like a 10mm or 15mm sure it should work!

I have used a 9hook with 4ply yarn to make a single crochet blanket. It actually works up quicker than using a thicker ply yarn.

I don't think that I ever posted the finished dog!

This is based on my friend's German Shorthaired Pointer. I'm a big fan of the pattern because I can change the colors, ears, and tail as needed to change the dog.

Right now I'm working on making my own patterns to start an etsy shop. I'd like to make plushies- I'm thinking that I'd like to start with a sheep one, a chicken one, an octopus one and a cow one. I'm going to make them out of big chunky fluffy yarn, and right now I'm working with regular yarn to figure out patterns.

I knit (slowly) and crochet (moderate at this, been doing it for 25+ years). I'm in need of a realistic-ish hen amigurumi with a scissor beak! My daughter is going in for surgery "some time in the next 3-4 months" and is very scared (she's 6). I want to give her a stuffed version of her favorite chicken, Shadow. Problem is, Shadow is a "wonky donkey" pullet with a scissor beak and she's an EE. She's also behind in developing like the rest of our 27 week pullets, she still cheeps like a chick and tries to get under the other gals for warmth, she's less than half their size, but she is NOT a bantam, just small.

Any help in finding a pattern (paid for or free) would be greatly appreciated!

Great, we'd love to see your work when finished!

I haven't done anything since Easter. Just a quickie here...

I'll do more again once it cools down in the fall.

I love To crochet but I find it hard to follow patterns. I’ve made gnomes which I enjoyed doing.
