I will be adding more baby blanket crochet patterns so do check often
This free crochet pattern is very popular because it is both easy to crochet and beautiful. So if you are looking for a project or need a baby shower gift, this may be the pattern you are looking for.
When choosing among the many baby blanket crochet patterns, be mindful
of things like fringe, and tassels. Small babies can get fringes and
strings wrapped tightly around little digits and cause serious problems.
Other patterns utilize a modified granny square, which has
large holes. They are fine to use over a receiving blanket, but if used
alone, can catch little fingers and toes and cause problems.
