Your answer depends on these variables:
- The measurements of the finished afghan
- The gauge of the yarn given the stitch, needle size and the number of stitches per inch are produced in your sample swatch
- The total yardage in each skein.

How many stiches do you need to cast on to crochet a 60x60 afghan?
you don't cast on to crochet. you do a base chain. to answer this question, you need to take into account the size thread you are using and the size hook. why don't you do crochet a diagonal stitch afghan. when it gets to be 60" wide, you decrease. there is a book delma's diagonal stitch which you can get, or search for a free diagonal stitch pattern. good luck

You will need a basic knowledge of the Afghan Stitch to make this combination of stitches.
How many different hooks do you need for crochet?
A crochet hook is a tool, and together with the type of yarn you want to use, will help you achieve the gauge you need in the fabric you want to crochet. There is no number as a maximum, but you do need at least one.
Do you need knitting needles to crochet?
No, you can only crochet with a crochet hook. Answer Crochet is done with crochet hooks (they come in many sizes) not knitting neeldes. But you can also use your fingers (finger crochet) or there is also some thing called Knooking which uses a tool that has a crochet hook on one end and a knitting needle point on the other.

Where can you find a crochet pattern for a Green Bay Packers afghan?
I have attached a link for a website which gives you free logos for NFL Football teams. It would be up to you to make up an afghan for this logo, then. If you need patterns for afghans, I suggest that you go to CrochetPatternCentral.com and look under afghans to find free patterns online.
How many yards of yarn does it take to crochet a twin size afghan using an H hook and single crochet stitches?
You would need to know what yarn you are using - sport, worsted, bulky - and what pattern. Different stitches will use different amounts of yarn. Single crochet is more dense than double crochet and would use more yarn to make the same size finished product. Afghan stitch is also dense with same result. With worsted yarn I would estimate 2500-3000 yards. That is a really rough estimate, however, without more information. Your chosen pattern should specify the yarn to be used and how much. If you want to substitute yarn, you can compare other yarns with the same weight, number of ounces and yards.
How to understand crochet patterns?
look at the pattern...... it usually says how much..... i.e.: 5 skeins of yarn As noted above, the pattern generally states how much yarn to use for that pattern. If you are trying to design your own pattern, however, then the process is more complicated. There is no general rule for how much yarn in a pattern, even as to type of pattern, because each is so different. Different scarf patterns, for example, would take different amounts of yarn. Generally speaking, I can probably make a scarf if I have 7 to 10 ounces of yarn. If I am making a hat for a child, I can do it with one 3.5 ounce skein with yarn leftover. For an adult, it depends on the pattern. Sometimes one skein would be enough, sometimes two would be needed. Afghans require more yarn, but amount varies with yarn, hook, and the size of the afghan as well as the pattern. One can take a baby afghan pattern and use chunky yarn to give a larger afghan, but amount of yarn required will be different. If you have a pattern and it gives you the yarn amount in skeins but not ounces, and you want to use a different yarn, then you need to find out how many ounces in that type of yarn, then buy the required ounces in a yarn in the same weight category.
How many yarn needed to crochet a twin blanket crochet ball bring 300 yds?
How much yarn you need to make any afghan depends on the hook you are using, the weight of the yarn and the pattern you are making. If you are using bulky yarn it will take a different amount than sport or worsted yarn, to make the same pattern. The amount of yarn used also varies depending on the stitch being used. For example, an afghan made entirely in single crochet will use more yarn than one made using double or triple crochet. There are so many different yarn types with each being a different number of yards and ounces that it is difficult to determine which yarn you are thinking of using. Just to give a very rough estimate, say you are using Red Heart Super Saver worsted yarn which is 364 yards in 7 ounces, you could estimate a need of perhaps 7 skeins to make a twin size afghan (about 2500 yards). That is a VERY rough estimate. But again, there are so many variables. Note that a lighter weight yarn will take more to get to the same finished size as a worsted weight blanket. If you are able to make a swatch of the yarn you are considering, you can figure how much you need from the swatch by matching how much yarn the swatch takes and the size of the swatch. Just multiply it out to the size you want. That will give you an idea of how much yarn you need.

What is the best size for crochet single bed blanket?
A twin bed is 39" x 75". An X-large twin is 39" x 80". You'd want your afghan to be a bit wider since there will be a body lifting it up and you may want it to go a bit over the sides of the bed. The length is flexible since you would only need the afghan to cover the part of the bed below the pillow.
Where can you find a crochet pattern for the Pittsburgh Steelers logo?
I think that the afghan/blanket overall pattern isn't the most important to you--it is the Cowboy "star" that is the most important, correct? I have found a graphed cowboy star, that you could incorporate into any afghan or blanket pattern.
