The Red Heart pattern is the friendliest possible introduction to graphghan crochet. Two colours, a tidy 25×25 grid, and a shape that reads from across the room. It's a brilliant first project for anyone who has done single crochet but never tried following a chart.
Charts like this are at the heart of what Bobble does — you read it square-by-square, change colour where the chart changes colour, and you end up with a recognisable image. Once you've made the heart you'll find every other pattern easier.
Pair it with cream or white as the background for maximum contrast, or try a soft pink for a more muted look. Worsted-weight (Aran) yarn gives a softer finish than DK if you'd prefer a bit more drape.
