Sweet Granny Crochet Baby Blankets
Simple granny stripe stitch is a great way to create something cute and comfy. This basic technique is very popular and looks great in many color combinations.
It also works with different weights of yarn, so you can use it in different projects.
Crochet baby blankets are smaller than regular ones, and must be made with soft yarn, suitable for babies. It must not be itchy or otherwise hard on delicate baby’s skin. Contrasting designs, such as stripes are also great for little ones, who have undeveloped vision yet, and see mostly black and white.
Subdued or pastel colors will look great in modern nursery, but will fit in the classic design as well. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
