Well, depends. If it's a yarn blanket you would need a crochet hook or you could use knitting needles. But if it's a fabric blanket you would need a sewing machine.

Crocheted or knitted: crochet hooks or knitting needles, scissors, yarn, needle for weaving in ends, ruler or measuring tape, pattern Fleece or flannel, you would need a straight edge for cutting the material to size, a rubber board or some other thing to protect your table from cuts, scissors or other cutting tool, measuring tape.

How many yarn needed to crochet a twin blanket crochet ball bring 300 yds?
How much yarn you need to make any afghan depends on the hook you are using, the weight of the yarn and the pattern you are making. If you are using bulky yarn it will take a different amount than sport or worsted yarn, to make the same pattern. The amount of yarn used also varies depending on the stitch being used. For example, an afghan made entirely in single crochet will use more yarn than one made using double or triple crochet. There are so many different yarn types with each being a different number of yards and ounces that it is difficult to determine which yarn you are thinking of using. Just to give a very rough estimate, say you are using Red Heart Super Saver worsted yarn which is 364 yards in 7 ounces, you could estimate a need of perhaps 7 skeins to make a twin size afghan (about 2500 yards). That is a VERY rough estimate. But again, there are so many variables. Note that a lighter weight yarn will take more to get to the same finished size as a worsted weight blanket. If you are able to make a swatch of the yarn you are considering, you can figure how much you need from the swatch by matching how much yarn the swatch takes and the size of the swatch. Just multiply it out to the size you want. That will give you an idea of how much yarn you need.
Create Child and Pet Pictures with Single Crochet Stitches?
While crochet enthusiasts enjoy making clothing and home decor items from patterns, even a beginner can increase her level of creativity with crocheted pictures of loved ones, a child's favorite characters or beloved pets. Use crocheted pictures on child or adult tops, decorate a child's bedspread or favorite blanket, or frame the finished picture as a wall hanging. This beginner project uses the single crochet stitch throughout the entire picture. Single crochet is the first stitch that novices learn, and it presents an attractive finished piece. If you want to crochet a picture wall hanging, you might need to add more background rows to fit the size display frame you have chosen. After choosing a favorite photo, upload it to your computer. Put graph paper in the printer and re-size the photo to your preferred size. Use color ink when printing. To crochet the photo, start by counting the number of blocks at the widest and longest rows. Add a border of three or more rows depending on your desired finished size. Single crochet the width of one block on the graph paper. The number of stitches per block varies with the type of yarn and the way that you crochet. Some people make tight crochet stitches while others make loose stitches. Once you know how many stitches to make per block on the graph paper, you can begin this pleasurable and creative endeavor. An important point for beginners to remember is to make even stitches. If some areas are loosely crocheted but other sections are of a different gauge, then your finished work will look lopsided. Add one extra single crochet stitch as the end of each row for turning your work. To use more than one color in a row, carry strands of the other colors on top of the just completed row of crochet stitches. As you crochet, these extra colors will be blended into the work but not seen. When you need to change colors, start with the new color in the previous stitch at the final yarn-over.
What is the best size for crochet single bed blanket?
A twin bed is 39" x 75". An X-large twin is 39" x 80". You'd want your afghan to be a bit wider since there will be a body lifting it up and you may want it to go a bit over the sides of the bed. The length is flexible since you would only need the afghan to cover the part of the bed below the pillow.
How many yards of yarn does it take to crochet a twin size afghan using an H hook and single crochet stitches?
You would need to know what yarn you are using - sport, worsted, bulky - and what pattern. Different stitches will use different amounts of yarn. Single crochet is more dense than double crochet and would use more yarn to make the same size finished product. Afghan stitch is also dense with same result. With worsted yarn I would estimate 2500-3000 yards. That is a really rough estimate, however, without more information. Your chosen pattern should specify the yarn to be used and how much. If you want to substitute yarn, you can compare other yarns with the same weight, number of ounces and yards.
