What kinds of crochet blankets are in this list?
There are crochet patterns for throw blankets, baby girl blankets, baby boy blankets, gender neutral blankets, striped blankets, bordered blankets. Many of the patterns can be made into the size you need.
What kind of yarn makes a good crochet blanket?
The short answer is it depends. Who the blanket is for and where it will be used are the two most important factors for determining which yarn to use.
Most of us want a cozy blanket so choosing a yarn that you want to snuggle up it is preferred! #4 medium worsted weight yarn in most fibers is a good choice. Acrylic will be the most affordable. Untreated wool will pill. I find that yarn blends mix the best of both.
