To begin with, our first summer baby blanket is this gorgeous design that has been known around the interwebs for a long time. However, every time someone iterates it, it's a new, beautiful project.
The original pattern and the photos are available at Ravelry:

Group Stitch Baby Blanket
"This crochet baby blanket is considered a beginner friendly pattern. It is crocheted with a lightweight DK weight yarn from Paintbox Yarns. However, any comparable yarn will work for this pattern. This blanket is crocheted entirely with a Group Stitch, otherwise known as a Cluster Stitch. It is worked in simple back and forth rows that are turned after every row. This blanket can be worked all in one color, in a striped pattern or in a color block pattern that you see in the pictures. This baby blanket is simple yet stylish with a gorgeous texture."
Summer Stripes Baby Blanket Free Crochet Patterns
On the other hand, this beautiful airy summer blanket uses parallel stripes of different colors to achieve a visually interesting effect. Truly, the gentle pastel colors work so well, don't they?
My Frida's Blossom Free Crochet Pattern
However, in order to build a flower blanket, you also need flower ideas. So, here is the pattern for the basal building block, a Frida flower on a black, hexagonal background. Overall, it's both colorful and elegant, a rare combination. To summarize, Frida's flowers are a well known motif. Nevertheless, they are still one of the greatest themes for crocheting.
The Animal-a-Long CAL Afghan
"Join in with the Animal-A-long. My first ever Crochetalong which ran in June 2019. Each square was released on a weekly basis. All animals, made in baby colours, perfect gift for a new baby. Corner to Corner crochet, to make a great Afghan/ blanket. Full instructions with colours and yarns listed on the blog, but also great for using up your stash. Links with how to C2C included, and a full alphabet for you to change the words at the top to make it more personal."
Tried and True Beginner Blanket
I have been teaching beginners (read: novice/first time crocheters) to crochet for a couple of years. My favorite projects are any that include a super bulky yarn and a 15 mm hook. Why? These projects can be started and finished in one class and the beginner can leave with a hat on their head (or a cowl around their neck). I designed this blanket with the true beginner in mind. Maybe you took a class, or a friend taught you the single crochet. You've made a stack of hats, but you want more! This is the project for you. You will learn the four basic stitches and how to work in rows (working in rows is a beginner skill, but I don't like teaching it for a first time crocheter). I have added notes here and there to help guide you and give you an understanding on the basics of pattern-reading. I have also included a full photo tutorial for each stitch to help you along your way.
