I make polar fleece blankets for Project Linus. I crochet an edging and make them usually 1 1/2 yards by width of fabric. Mostly I make colors and patterns that will appeal to older boys so they can get a blanket, too. I work on them at night when I don't have the energy to be more creative but need to do something with my hands while I watch tv, so it's win-win. I use an Olfa blade that makes holes about 1/4" apart in the fleece and that makes it easy to do the first crochet row.
