The crochet choice is always going to be one of the ones that stand out the most. You can make it your self or buy one that some one else has made.

But, you can always find them for sale as well.

The nice thing about it is that you can also check up on the details of the blanket in the store to find one that meets most of your needs. The cotton choice is usually going to be the easiest to maintain as well.
