Baby blanket crochet patterns are one of the best options when it comes down to trying to pick a handmade gift for a special little one. This Feather and Fan Baby Blanket creates a phenomenal striped wave pattern that uses the straightforward foundation single crochet stitch. Fan-like sections of tight stitches offset with looser open stitches make up the individual rows. If there was a color scheme that could inspire you to hug, it would be this warm mint and gray combination. Lucky for you and the young one, you will have no problem working up this easy crochet baby blanket.

This whimsical blanket is made by combining my Windy Square and Pinwheel Square patterns with 2 different joining techniques and a simple striped border. The puff stitches, cables, Jacobs ladders, and 3D pinwheels add lots of texture for baby to play with, while the back side of the blanket is smooth against babys skin. Its made with Anne Geddes Baby yarn and comes out really soft and squishy. This yarn comes in whole range of colors, and the pattern includes some suggestions for alternate color combinations.

This Little Couch Potato Siesta Blanket was crocheted over the course of one weekend (at a relaxed pace), with 3 cakes of Pool Party Bernat Blanket Stripes yarn. The yarn was easy to work with and except for the final row of the project I let the colors come out of the yarn cake as they were dyed. The last row I removed a small section in the dark blue in order to use the next color in the ball to complete the final 2 rows in the same color. Two separate colors over the final 2 rows did not fit with the flow of the rest of the blanket. So if you end up in a similar place after you reach row 50 consider cutting out a small section and allowing the next section to take it's place to make the blanket color flow a bit more smoothly. This was a very relaxed and simple project to crochet. I love the striped effect created by the yarn and not having to sew in a bunch of yarn ends! Great for gifts, baby showers, children, floor blankets and cuddle time! Drew's finished blanket measures 40 inches wide and 36 inches long. The stitch multiple is 2+1 so you can create this to any size you wish easily.

I get to cuddle up in blankets and the mood outside is perfect for diving into fantasy novels. This kind of weather is just right and that's what the Rainy Days blanket makes me think of. The beauty of this pattern is that the gradient in the Scarfie yarn does all the work and you don't need to measure or even keep track of rows. This corner to corner crochet blanket pattern is perfect for beginners who just want something simple to practice on without all the bells and whistles of complicated charts.This is a great first C2C (corner to corner) projec to try out!

Shortly after I taught myself to crochet, I fell in love with knit-look crochet. I can't knit a stitch to save my life so I'm always trying to incorporate stitches or stitch patterns into my designs that resemble knit stitches. The Abrielle Baby Blanket combines the easiest knit-look crochet stitch and a favorite textured stitch pattern of mine. I crocheted my baby blanket using two colors of yarn to create a wide striped blanket, but it's also gorgeous in a solid color.

This is a mock granny stitch afghan designed with Bernat Blanket yarn. You do not fasten off after every color change and will only have around 3 tails to weave in at the end. The stitch pattern was adjusted to work with the thickness of this yarn and to avoid leaving big holes. The result is a warm and squishy blanket that will keep your baby warm and snuggly. You can combine any 3 colors of your choice to make a blanket for a baby boy or a baby girl.

This is a fun and easy pattern to make. The yarn and colours that I used are mentioned in the blog post. I made this blanket with a crochet hook size 4mm but you can use any size you like. It will change the size of your blanket however, but it is very easy to adjust the pattern and to make the blanket in any size you like. Please note that the English pattern is below the Dutch pattern in the blog post.
