It's really not that difficult; variations of single and double crochet were all that were used in either of these blankets. The first is what is called filet crochet, which basically means that you make a grid of double crochet and chain stitches, filling in select blocks to make a picture.
The other has a stitch called a cluster stitch where basically you start a dc and only pull through a loop once, then when you've got six loops on the hook, you pull a loop through all of them. That's probably not the best explanation, but you can find it online.
