Knitting a blanket for someone who doesn't know how?

i am looking to make a simple blanket, i have knitting needles and books and a whole bunch of other things but i no longer know how to knit, special cirstances. i do know how to crochet. if someone could give me some tips and advice and maybe a pattern or something i would appreciate it. just so you know i am not wanting to crochet the blanket cause i have done so many times and wanted to try something different.
