Your answer depends on the size of the crochet needle you want to use. First, crochet a gauge, so that you have the basic information you need to calculate your raw material requirements.

Why does the blanket im crocheting curve?
It might be one of two problems. You may be adding extra stitches accidentally which will cause a curve because of the added length. But most likely it has to do with your tension. If you don't keep the same amount of tension on the yarn as you crochet, then some stitches will be tighter and some looser. You may be able to fix some of the curving with blocking after you finish the project.
How do you sew satin binding on blanket without bunching?
There are 2 possible types of binding - bias binding and binding tape. Bias binding is basically a piece of bias-cut fabric which is folded in on both edges, binding tape looks similar to ribbon with either a Matt or satin finish (generally the Matt tapes are made from cotton and the shiny satin tapes are man-made) and can be either straight or bias-cut. For the purpose of a blanket I'm assuming you are using the ribbon-type shiny binding. The best way to stop the binding bunching lies in good preparation a) make sure the blanket has been cleaned first - even if it's new get it cleaned - if it's cotton wash it. The purpose of the cleaning is to make sure that the blanket is pre-shrunk as one of the causes of puckered binding is that the blanket can shrink whereas the satin binding will not. b) measure the side of the blanket where you are going to stitch the binding, measure out a similar length of binding plus extra for 'finishing off' at either end - this 'extra' needs to be a couple of centimetres or an inch at either end (do not cut the at this stage, just mark the amount of tape needed with chalk or whatever you have that will leave a visible mark. c) pin the binding at either end of the blanket allowing the extra to hang over the end. Make sure the binding is lying flat against the blanket - if it isn't flat adjust until it is. d) now tack the binding onto the blanket using a thread that is clearly visible on the tape and with stitches no longer than a quarter of an inch/half a centimetre - make sure you tack both edges of the tape like this, but sufficiently far away from the edge of the tape for a machine to stitch along the tape without going over the tacking - if you machine over the tacking stitches you'll find it very difficult to remove them and may well need other equipment like a stitch ripper and tweezers. e) now machine along each edge of the tape at a slow to medium speed - if you sew too quickly it can cause the stitches to pull. f) finally turn the ends of the binding in upon itself and hand stitch to the back of the blanket. Et Voila! you have a nice, unbuckled edging on your blanket. A word of warning - even after all this painstaking work it's still possible that a cotton blanket could shrink further if you wash in water so, if it's really important to you that it doesn't pucker, always dry clean a cotton blanket.

Can you substitute single crochet instead of half double crochet?
yes you can but you will need more yarn as you are going to need more rows to make the same size item .. The width will not be effected at all .. if you are making a blanket it is easy just continue till same length .. if you are making a garment you will have to adjust the pattern for the height differences .. for example they may say you need 20 rows for an armhole and you may need 28 rows ..

Take two pieces of fleece, whatever size you wish to make the blanket but make sure they are both the same size.

What does post mean in crochet?
The word "post" in crochet is referring to the whole stitch--generally a "tall" stitch (such as a double crochet, triple crochet, etc).The reason the instructions refer to the stitch in the row below, is so the crocheter understands that you are to stitch around the stitch below--the "post" of the stitch. Otherwise, if the instructions stated that you were to double crochet the next stitch, you would understand that you would be double crocheting into the top of the stitch below, versus crochet around the length of the stitch.You also notice that the instructions will say to "back post double crochet (bpdc)" which means to bring your stitch around the post from the back position. So, "front post, double crochet (fp dc)" would mean to bring your stitch in from the front side of your work.
