Simple Sweet Crochet Baby Blankets

Nursery should be a place of calm and cheerful energy. Soft fabrics, delicate enough for baby skin, fluffy toys and squishy teddy bears – scratching, itching, and sharply edged items are definitely banned.

Crochet baby blankets are one of the easiest way to bring some color to the room, and there is so much you can do with them! Circular, rectangular, made of squares or hexagons – you choose. Today’s theme is all about flowers and baby blankets that keep this spring vibes all year long. Worked from the center or made with blocks, they bring back memories of flower-filled meadows. Choose your favorite color palettes and try it! Maybe your next gift idea is hiding in this post? Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
