I enjoy crocheting preemie blankets to donate to NICU units for the tiny babies. It's a way to finish a project quickly, and feel good to know that the blanket will wrap a new baby in warmth and love. This one took me about 3 hours to complete.

Finished size is 24" square.
You can easily make this into any size blanket by just keeping an even number of starting stitches.
