Display first blog item larger than rest

I am using the grid layout to display my blog posts with a thumbnail preview image displayed for each post. I have also set it to display 3 blog grid columns. So right now, the blog posts are displayed as follows:

1-2-3
4-5-6
7-8-9

Is there anyway to display the thumbnail preview image larger for the first blog entry. So basically the first blog post is displayed as one big column instead of three columns across in this manner:

–1–
2-3-4
5-6-7

Or is this not possible without hiring a programmer to re-write some of the code?
