Doing something to p the time.?

alright i'm 27 weeks and 1 day pregnant and i've decided to crochet to p the time. anyways i have been doing this for years and i always do the double stitch. i'm looking for some other stitches and patterns though. I want to make my son a hat to wear home from the hospital and possibly a sweater or something and maybe a few more blankets anyways does anyone know of some good websites with EASY directions and patterns? i also want to make some things for some other family members for the holidays. i have a few very old books from garage sales and such but i want something that is easier to read. what books can you suggest? i have tons of yarn and time so i'd like lots of ideas. thanks
