This looks like a solid set of crochet hooks no matter what weight yarn you're using. Medium yarn tends to use a 4mm hook for scale.

Another set of crochet hooks, though this one skews a little more to the larger size (good if you're doing fluffier yarn or blanket yarn). This is cheaper than the other set, but may not be as ergonomically friendly.

Really cute diagonal throw blanket - seems doable! If you do a softer yarn or a patterned yarn, I could see this being such a cute baby blanket gift.

Definitely a baby blanket style - what I like about the blocks is that it's a lot easier to work on on-the-go since you can do square by square until it's time to join them all together.

A sweet take on a baby blanket with a ruffled edge - this is a kit that includes the yarn that's needed as well as a label for personalization. The crochet hook is not included, and requires a 4mm hook.
