The reader didn't say what other color her husband wanted but the big Red N, LOL So it will be easy for her if she will crochet just a plain afghan in the color he wants then crochet 3 red strips to the length she will need and place them in the N shape and stitch them on. I saw a Red Rebal Afghan with the blue X done this way with little blue granny squares and stitched together then placed in the X form and stitched down. I believe that will be the easiest for her if she is new to crocheting.

I would make a chain 6 ft' long and get a piece of graph paper that has that many squares to stitches(or more and you can trim it}. Note the squares will be smaller than the stitch. than I would make a swatch with single crochet to see how tall you need the blanket, but you can still use one stitch up one square up. Draw an "N" in the middle of the graph paper and shade that in. whenever you get to a shaded area drop the old coler and pick up the new. I hope this helps.
I did the same as Brenda and it works great. I made a pillow with a big yellow star in the middle. Got graph paper and charted it out. The recipient loved it.
well, the big red N in the middle... make granny squares in filet stitch, and one with the letter N in it.... do you understand what I mean???
You could do afghan stitch throughout, and then cross-stitch the letter where you would like it.
In making AKA blankets for a group of soronity sisters, I took graph paper and charted out AKA in the middle, crocheting the blanket using the graph as a chart. If this does not work, make afghan squares and cross stitch or stitch the N as you go. .
HELLO THERE, WITH ME I WOULD USE THE PCSTITCH7 I'V TO MADE A DORA AFGHAN SO IT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO DO A 6X6 N AFGHAN WITH THE PCSTITCH7 YOU COULD ALSO PUT A BROUDER ON IT TO MAKE IT NICER.I HOPE THIS HELPS.
Well, they would have to be rather masculine granny squares to impress a man. Otherwise, he will simply not touch it. Men are interesting that way, are they not?
For a beginner, I would recommend making a solid, manly afghan first, and then adding the equally manly letter afterwards.
