Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern Guide

Crochet baby blankets are wonderful keepsakes that hold a special place in the hearts of parents and their babies. They are made with love and care, making them great gifts for newborns and infants. Crochet blankets, which are sometimes called crochet Afghans, are functional as they provide warmth and comfort and also serve as beautiful mementos of a baby’s early days.

Easy Crochet Baby Blankets

One of the most endearing qualities of crochet baby blankets is how personal they are. Each stitch is meticulously worked by hand, which sets it apart from mass-produced blankets. Every crochet blanket is a one-of-a-kind piece, infused with the thoughtfulness and creativity of the crocheter who made it.

To help in your search for your next baby blanket project, I’ve collected some of the very best quick, easy and free crochet baby blanket patterns and listed them below.

Use the Table of Contents below to jump to the patterns or keep reading for helpful tips on getting started, the best yarn to use, what size a baby blanket should be and advice for crocheting incredible baby blankets.

Table of Contents

Getting Started

A baby blanket is often a new crocheter’s first project. It certainly was for me! I was pregnant with my first daughter when I began crocheting and with the help of the internet, taught myself.

I now hear from thousands of crocheters that one of my blanket patterns was their first time completing a pattern and it is remarkable to see their beautiful blankets completed and their joy and accomplishment for learning this new skill.

If you are brand-new to crocheting, I recommend starting with a pattern designed for absolute beginners.

Crochet Baby Blanket for Beginners
How to Crochet a Baby Blanket / Crochet Baby Blanket for Beginners

Luckily, I have a complete guide and a great beginner pattern that will teach you step-by-step How to Crochet a Baby Blanket for Beginners where you’ll learn how to Crochet Baby Blanket for Beginners (pictured above). That guide includes detailed written instructions with diagrams and a full video tutorial.

Once you’ve mastered the basics of crocheting, you can come back to this post and find lots more easy crochet baby blankets (listed below).

Supplies Needed

One of the best parts of crocheting is how few crochet supplies are needed to complete truly remarkable projects. To make a crochet blanket you generally only need a crochet hook, yarn and a few other materials.

Crochet Hook

Crochet hook in action

A crochet hook, which is a special tool that has a U-shaped curve at the end, is essential to making a blanket. Crochet hooks come in different sizes ranging from 2.25 mm (or a size B/1 in US sizing) up to 30 mm (or T/X in US Sizing). Smaller hooks create tighter, smaller stitches while larger hooks create looser, larger stitches. Learn more in this Complete Guide to Crochet Hooks. Each blanket pattern will specify the recommended hook size you should use for that pattern.

Yarn

Choosing the right yarn is crucial in creating a soft, snuggly blanket that will be gentle against a baby’s delicate skin. Yarn comes in different weights based on the thickness of the strand (not the weight of the skein/ball). There are 8 different yarn weight categories ranging from size 0 being the thinnest and size 7 being the thickest. Learn more about each size/weight in my full guide to Yarn Weights and Types/Sizes.

Yarn weight sizes

The most popular yarn weights for baby blankets are size 3 (light) and size 4 (medium). In general, size 3 (light) yarn (also known as DK or light worsted yarn) creates a more lightweight, breathable, flexible blanket with excellent drape while size 4 (medium) yarn (also known as worsted weight yarn) creates a slightly thicker, warmer, cozier pattern.

It is strongly recommended to use the same yarn weight that is listed in the pattern if you want your blanket to be as similar as possible to the designer’s model. There are some patterns where using a different yarn weight can completely change the look, feel and size of the pattern as well as the amount of yarn required.

Yarn also comes in different types. These yarn types include acrylic, cotton and bamboo. Acrylic (100% acrylic or acrylic blends) yarn is one of the most common choices for a baby blanket and offers a combination of warmth, breathability, and easy care.

Acrylic yarn is also one of the most popular yarn types and thus has a wide variety of colors to choose from. The color selection is another important aspect, allowing crafters to choose from a wide array of pastels, vibrant hues, or soothing neutrals, depending on the desired mood and theme.

Other Materials

  • Scissors to cut the yarn after you have finished.
  • A yarn needle (sometimes called a tapestry needle) to weave in loose ends.
  • A measuring tape to measure your work or to check the gauge.
  • Stitch markers to help keep track of stitches.

If you are wondering what brands to get or would like recommendations for other helpful tools to aid in your crocheting, here is my list of Essential Crochet Supplies and Helpful Tools.

Sizes

The size of a baby blanket can vary, with options ranging from small, snuggle-sized blankets suitable for car seats or strollers, to larger, crib-sized blankets that provide a comforting cocoon for a baby at naptime or bedtime.

One of the most common questions from crocheters is “What is the best size for a crochet baby blanket?” There isn’t an exact industry-wide standard baby blanket size. Baby blanket sizes vary by type as well as by pattern.

Baby Blanket TypeAverage Size (Width x Height)
Receiving Blanket36″ x 36″
Bassinet/Cradle Blanket18″ x 30″
Carseat/Stroller Blanket30″ x 35″
Crib Blanket36″ x 50″
Crochet Baby Blanket Average Sizes

Generally, I make my baby blankets to have a width of approx. 32″ and a height that either matches the width (so the blanket is a square) or has a height that is approximately 4-6″ larger than the width (so the blanket is a rectangle). Read more in my Guide to Crochet Blanket Sizes.

Skills Required

To make a crochet blanket and follow patterns for baby blankets, there are certain things that you will need to know.

How to Read a Crochet Pattern

For beginners, crochet patterns can seem like they are written in a different language! The Craft Yarn Council has a wonderful starting guide on How to Read a Crochet Pattern.

Understanding Abbreviations

To help patterns be less wordy, there is an industry-wide standard for shortening crochet terms. For example, the abbreviation for single crochet is sc. Here is the Ultimate Guide to Crochet Abbreviations.

US vs UK Terminology

You’ll also want to know whether the pattern uses standard US terminology or UK terminology. Just like the word “elevator” in America is called a “lift” in England, the names for crochet terms can vary between the US and the UK. Each pattern should specify which terminology is used. You can then use this UK to US (or US to UK) Conversion Chart to help you understand the terms used in the pattern.

Holding Your Yarn and Hook

As a beginner, it may take some time to get comfortable holding your yarn in your non-dominant hand. Learning how to hold yarn when crocheting is very important as it will help ensure the proper tension for your work.

You will also need to know how to hold a crochet hook. There are two beginner-friendly “holds” that you can try out: 1) The Knife Grip, where you hold the hook like you would if you were buttering a piece of bread and 2) The Pencil Grip, where you hold the hook like you would if you were holding a pencil. Both of these grips are explained in more detail here: How to Hold a Crochet Hook – the Easiest Ways.

Starting a Crochet Chain

In a crochet pattern, the instructions usually begin with “chain X” with X being a number. What this means is that you need to make X number of starting chains.

Crochet foundation chain

Before you can get to making those starting chains, you need to make a slip knot. Making a slip knot is how to start a crochet chain. It can be confusing and frustrating for beginners learning how to crochet because making a slip knot is often left out of the instructions. Learn 4 Easy Ways to Make a Slip Knot.

Crochet Stitches

You don’t need to know all the crochet stitches in the world before starting a baby blanket. Fortunately, the internet is filled with stitch tutorials that can show you exactly how to make any crochet stitch.

Crochet Stitches for Baby Blankets

One good thing to know is the difference between basic crochet stitches such as the single crochet (sc) stitch and double crochet stitch (dc) and a combination stitch such as the Lemon Peel stitch. The Lemon Peel stitch, for example, is achieved with both a single crochet and double crochet stitch. While there isn’t one best crochet stitch for a baby blanket, the Lemon Peel is very popular and creates a gorgeous fabric. Learn more about the Lemon Peel stitch and many other beautiful stitch combinations in this collection of Easy Crochet Stitches for Baby Blankets.

Pattern Features

Before we get to the collection of baby blanket patterns, it’s important to understand the pattern features.

Speed

A wonderful aspect of crochet baby blankets is how quick they are to make. I am both a knitter and a crocheter. Crocheting is so much faster than knitting and many people prefer to make crochet blankets rather than knit blankets because you can make them very quickly.

A very common question is “How long does it take to make a crochet blanket?” The answer depends on the pattern, the yarn weight, the size of the blanket and your skill level. An average baby blanket can take approximately 12 hours to make. Some projects may take only a few hours and others may take much longer. Many designers still use the word “fast” for their projects because compared to knitting, it can be completed in a relatively short period of time.

Skill Level

Baby blanket patterns have various skill levels including “beginner,” “basic,” “easy” and “intermediate.”

The Craft Yarn Council has recommended project levels. These levels do not include a “beginner” level. Their recommended project levels start with “basic.”

Here are the project levels as recommended by the Craft Yarn Council:

  • Basic: “Projects using basic stitches. May include basic increases and decreases.”
  • Easy: “Projects may include simple stitch patterns, color work, and/or shaping.”
  • Intermediate: “Projects may include involved stitch patterns, color work, and/or shaping.”

Even with these definitions, the skill level that a pattern is ultimately given is entirely up to the designer and varies significantly. Some designers use the word “beginner” rather than “basic.” Some designers will just use “easy” for any pattern that is beginner-friendly. And, what some designers call easy may not be beginner-friendly.

Because there are so many variations between basic, beginner and easy, it can be difficult to know if the pattern will be simple enough to follow for a beginner. My advice? Try it! There are endless amount of tutorials out there so if you get stuck on something, Google and YouTube can come to the rescue.

Availability

There are different ways that crochet designers make their patterns available. In this collection of patterns below, you will see that they are all free baby blanket crochet patterns.

A free crochet pattern is when all of the instructions are available to be viewed on a website without having to pay anything. This means you can scroll down the webpage and see all of the details and the step-by-step instructions for completing the pattern from start to finish. Sometimes there’s a video tutorial that can be viewed entirely for free.

On the webpage with a free pattern, there may be ads and popups and it may be difficult to print. These advertisements support the designer’s work and help pay for the cost of sharing patterns (such as the cost of running a website, yarn, tech editing and many other expenses).

Oftentimes, the crochet designer will offer a print-ready, ad-free version of the pattern that you can download for a small cost (usually around $4.00 – 5.00 USD). By purchasing the printable version, you are also supporting the designer’s work and you will have the convenience of saving the pattern, being able to print it, write notes on it and keep it forever.

Tips

To help you make incredible crochet baby blankets, here are my top tips:

  • Start with the recommended hook size and yarn weight that are suggested by the designer in the pattern.
  • Make a sample of the pattern and see if you are happy with everything before embarking on the full pattern.
  • If you can’t find the same yarn that the designer used or if your favorite yarn is not available, you can find a good alternative on this Yarn Substitution website.
  • Use stitch markers to help count your stitches, especially on the first and last stitch of the row.
  • Tools like the Wool Jeanie, which is a crochet tool that holds your skein of yarn while you crochet can help your yarn keep the correct tension and help you crochet faster.
  • Block your finished blanket. Learn how to block a crochet blanket.
  • Keep your yarn labels organized to ensure you can easily find the same yarn again.
  • If it gets frustrating, remember that a new bundle of joy is going to be wrapped up in your creation! Try not to be hard on yourself and try to enjoy the process. You are making one of the most precious gifts in the world and your blanket will be loved.
