30 Crochet Baby Blanket Patterns

What is the Best Yarn for Making Blankets?

I love using Red Heart Soft Baby Steps yarn when I make blankets. I know there are tons of other great options, and some fiber dying stores online also have extremely soft custom dyed options. For me, however, this is the softest commercially available option that is affordable when making multiple or large blankets on a regular basis.

How to Make a Crochet Baby Blanket

Pink ribbed crochet baby blanket

My list starts with this easy tutorial for how to make a baby blanket. This is the basic blanket pattern everyone should start with when beginning.

Pattern: Crochet.Life

Textured Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern

Ivory stripe crochet baby blanket

This textured pattern is easy to make and adds an element of intricate detail that is easy to accomplish but looks difficult. I love the ivory color of this blanket, but I excited to make this in other colors.

Pattern: Crochet.Life

Meadow Sage Baby Blanket Pattern

Grey tight woven crochet blanket

This blanket features a puff stitch that really makes it unique. The simple “striped” pattern makes it easy to create as you are repeating the same stitches over and over, but the unique additions around the edges really elevate the blanket.

Pattern: Crochet.Life

Nursery Patch Crochet Blanket

Blue and grey square granny patch crochet blanket

This square patch pattern is a great addition to your projects list. I used the same color in this, but I imagine you could piece in different colors for each square for another unique look.

Pattern: Crochet.Life

Ribbed Baby Blanket Pattern

Ribbed blue crochet blanket

A ribbed baby blanket is a cute way to add texture to your project. I love that this one is thicker and warmer for the colder winter days when a light blanket just isn’t enough.

Pattern: Crochet.Life

Large Square Baby Blanket

Purple large square crochet blanket

This square pattern is large and easy to make. It’s a great pattern that is simple to make but looks like it took an experienced crafter to complete.

Pattern: Crochet.Life

Baby Blanket with Built-in Border

Purple crochet blanket with wide border

This easy blanket has a built in border that I love since it means it is less likely to unravel. It’s also a great choice for making a two-toned blanket.

Pattern: Crochet.Life

Striped Baby Blanket Pattern

Blue and white striped afghan

If you want a striped option, this pattern is easy to follow and beautiful. A great choice for beginners but detailed enough that someone who has been crocheting for years would be proud to make and display this blanket.

Pattern: Crochet.Life

Mitered Crochet Baby Blanket

Grey and white striped crochet blanket

I am in love with this mitered stitch blanket. It is so delicate and beautiful to gift. The lacy style of stitching really adds to the beauty of the pattern.

Pattern: Crochet.Life

Words Baby Blanket Pattern

Pastel colored word crochet blanket

This more complex pattern is a great option for a gift. Multiple colors, with multiple words, it is definitely more time consuming and difficult than some on the list but is stunning when complete.

Pattern: Etsy.com

Textured Popcorn Stitch Blanket with Ribbon Accent

White and grey polka dot ribbon edge crochet blanket

This popcorn stitch baby blanket is definitely a bit of a twist on classics. The addition of a ribbon border makes it pop with color and become a unique blanket that is easy to customize to the recipient.

Pattern: Etsy.com

Crocheted Lace Baby Blanket Pattern

Pink and grey shell pattern blanket

Turning yarn into a beautiful lace pattern is one of my favorite things to do when making blankets. This simple but stunning crochet lace pattern makes an excellent baby blanket.

Pattern: Etsy.com

Pure and Simple Baby Blanket

Simple ivory crochet blanket

As the title states, this truly is a pure and simple blanket pattern. When I think of classic baby blankets, this is what comes to mind. You can’t go wrong using this pattern.

Pattern: Etsy.com

Crochet Unicorn Baby Blanket

Colorful unicorn crochet blanket

How absolutely adorable is this blanket? I love unicorns and know this will make a great baby blanket for one of my friends. This is more detailed than most of the patterns, but the time spent is worth the result.

Dinosaur Crochet Baby Blanket

Grey dinosaur crochet blanket

This gorgeous crochet blanket has dinosaurs, eggs, and tons of bright colors that look great in a baby nursery or kids’ bedroom.

Sloth Baby Blanket Pattern

Teal and grey crocheted sloth blanket

This is a combination of a crocheted blanket and a sloth covered piece of fabric that is adorable. A great addition to a baby’s bedroom!

Pattern: Etsy.com

Fire Crochet Blanket Pattern

Fire theme rose pattern blanket

The bright orange, yellow, and red colors may not be a classic baby blanket, but the pattern is perfect for making in any color theme you want!

Pattern: Etsy.com

Sleep Tight Teddy Bear Pattern

Sleeping bear crochet blanket

If you have a teddy bear theme in your baby’s bedroom, this is the perfect addition. A much more difficult and time-consuming project, this has a beautiful result that is ideal for boys and girls.

Pattern: Etsy.com

Rose Field Baby Blanket Pattern

Grey red and white rose crochet blanket

This intricate rose pattern blanket is a beautiful choice. This requires more skill, but with patience, it will be a great first baby blanket to make.

I love the basket weave pattern. For this blanket, it really highlights the multiple colors of the yarn pattern. You’ll love the results of this project.

The cluster stitch is a great choice to take this simple blanket and turn it into an elegant blanket that fits inside a baby crib easily.

Pattern: Meladora’s Creations

Crochet Animal Alphabet Blanket

What a great way to introduce your baby to the alphabet early! This is a great crochet project that takes time but the result is stunning.

Pattern: Repeat Crafter Me

Crochet Zoo Baby Blanket

For any nursery, zoo animals are always a good fit. This crochet baby blanket pattern is definitely an advanced level project, but the time involved gives a wonderful result.

Pattern: Etsy

Get Some Zzz’s Baby Blanket

Grey blanket with zzz's

I love this simple blanket pattern with the fun message of time to sleep. The gray and white color scheme is beautiful, but feel free to use any color options you prefer.

Pattern: One Dog Woof

Crochet Four Points Baby Blanket

Color block four point blanket

This simple blanket looks fancy when you create the pattern at angles to build four points. This is a tightly woven pattern that is heavyweight for warmth. It’s lightweight while being warm. A perfect way to make a functional blanket for babies.

Pattern: Purl Soho

Mandala Yarn Baby Blanket

Mandala shell pattern blanket

This simple shell pattern mandala yarn blanket is a gorgeous choice for babies. I love the pattern and designs of this one, and I know it’s a great easier choice for a novice crocheter.

Pattern: Make & Do Crew

Blue and white striped baby blanket

This crochet baby blanket pattern is a classic throwback. The simple shell pattern is a favorite easy to make blanket that fits into any baby gift package.
