How long should a baby blanket be?

[Marina1109]

I'm working on a baby blanket, but I don't know how long I should make it.

I will very much appreciate your opinion and input on this.

Thank You!

They come in all sizes and any would be usable. Small ones can be used thrown over them in a stroller or car seat, or in a playpen. How wide is yours? Square is good, or you can make it a few inches longer than it is wide.
