Lately, the majority have been flannel ragged blankets. They are really cute and a fairly fast project, but fringing all the seams does take some time. There are some really great flannel prints out there, so you can get creative with your fabric choice. I like to mix in supper soft fleece for some added texture. I usually make up the pattern for the blanket while I am cutting out the material, figuring out what size to cut the pieces and leave the least wasted material.

Here is an example of a blanket that I crocheted. I gave it as a gift to some friends of ours, who had a baby boy. It is one large granny square.
