The pink blanket with the Q hook
http://happyyellowhouse.com/htm/hailey.html
although this pattern does not call for a Q size hook, I badly wanted to use the Q that my mom dug out of her crochet bag. So I improvised, and used 3 strands of yarn instead of 1. Hence the need for the ridiculous spool my family and I invented.
For the yellow baby blanket (UPDATED) try either of these 2

the pattern can be found in the pdf... I would recommend using a larger hook than they say for the blanket (i have been unsuccessful at making the bear... I really want to though) but use a larger hook unless you work your patterns loosely. I do everything to tight so mine came out quite small. I also did about 140 rows instead of 100, because it was too small. I also did a border of single crochet 3 times around the perimeter in yellow before adding the white scalloped border.

I used alpaca yarn also by Bernat for the scarf I made for my sister...it says 4 balls, you can try it if you want to use the yarn they call for, but I used probably 10 for the scarf...I dont think theres was long enough to wrap around, so I made it longer. But make sure to get all the yarn together if you can, so you dont have to worry about die lots... that was a pain!
