Snuggly Crochet Baby Blanket Patterns

You know what I love most in life? Crochet Baby Blanket Patterns! They are fast, useful and perfect for gift giving!

These crochet baby blanket patterns are perfect, whether you’re looking for quick baby shower gifts, textured baby blankets, simple baby blankets, or just some adorable snuggly crochet baby blankets.

One of the best parts about making baby blankets is actually the baby blanket size. Meaning that.. they’re small enough that they’re not as daunting as making a large blanket, but you still get a whole lot of fun crocheting them! And if you don’t have someone in life for gifting an adorable baby project, you can make one as a charity project for someone in need!

When it comes to creating a beautiful baby blanket, you’ll want to choose a soft yarn that will be adorable and snuggly for your little one. Many of the patterns use easy-to-find worsted weight yarn but most can be adapted to other weights of yarn if you prefer. Your perfect baby blanket awaits!

What Size Should a Baby Blanket Be?

When it comes to picking out a pattern for baby blankets, consider its ultimate use to determine what size to make. Is it a blanket for a special occasion like a baptism? Will it be used on the floor? Is it a blanket for baby to grow with, that might become one that’s dragged all over the house in love and used everywhere?

Crochet baby afghans often serve multiple purposes so sizing is really flexible, but here are some common crocheted baby blanket sizes to get you started:

• Receiving Blanket: 24’ x 24 up to 36×36″ square
• Stroller: 30 x 36”
• Swaddle Blanket: 40” x 40” up to 48 x 48” square
• Toddler: 36” x 48”
• Crib Blanket: 40″ x 60″

Most of these crochet baby blanket patterns use a variety of basic crochet stitches, so make sure that you know how to work a single crochet stitch, double crochet stitch, and slip stitch (sl st). Since these great patterns won’t take a long time to complete, your cute baby blanket is just a few steps away!
