1. Soft Flannel Throw Blanket

Nothing feels cozier than wrapping yourself in a handmade flannel blanket. Flannel is soft, warm, and comes in endless colors and patterns, making it perfect for creating custom throws for your home.

To start, choose two coordinating flannel fabrics—one for the front and one for the back. You can make it as large or small as you like, depending on whether you want a couch throw or a lap blanket. Add a layer of batting between the fabrics for extra warmth, and stitch around the edges.

For a rustic touch, finish the edges with fringe or a simple topstitch. These blankets make great gifts during the holiday season, and they are quick enough to sew in an afternoon.
