I make a lot of theses. I simply take 3 yards wof and fold it in half. I sew it right sides together and then turn it right side out. Then I stitch all the way around it being sure to catch the hole left open for turning it right sides out. Then I punch holes and simply crochet or double crochet all the way around it. My daughters, and DIL and various nieces and other people have really liked these blankets because they are big enough to swaddle the baby or to toss over the baby carseat when taking the baby to the vehicle. My youngest little grandson has to have his to sleep with. They make great baby gifts.
