Of course, this is a perfect pattern for nursery blanket. While it’s delicate and eyecatching, the blankets are robust and “hearty” and will stand up to squishing, scrunching and chewing. That said, for non-masticating blanket users, that’s to say non-kids, these will be greatly appreciated and well loved items of decor and use. Although there is a slight difference behind the technique between bobble stitch (bo), puff stitch (ps) and popcorn stitch (po), the final result will be hard to distinguish between them because the hearts are small.

FAQ

What yarn will be the best for baby blanket crochet patterns?

Many crocheters choose acrylic yarns for their blankets because they are much cheaper than wool and you can wash them in the washing machine. If you go for natural yarns, however, make sure to check on the label if it’s suitable for babies.

Many of the yarns are treated with chemicals or are too scratchy for delicate baby skin. If you like volume, choose chunky yarn, but thinner yarn like worsted-weight yarn will be better for most projects.

Remember that crochet blanket patterns always say what yarn weight is the best for this particular stitch pattern.

Whether it’s double crochet, granny square, moss stitch, or single crochet stitches, the baby blanket crochet pattern will tell you what gauge to aim for.

Are these beginner baby blanket crochet patterns?

Yes! Whether we are talking about simple lacy shells or a classic 6-Day Kid Baby Blanket, all of these patterns are easy enough for beginners.

What baby blanket sizes are there?

There are various crochet baby blanket sizes. The smallest ones are for newborns and preemies, and bigger ones will foreseen for stroller walks with toddlers. The perfect blanket size is important, so be sure to think about it before making the perfect gift for a new baby girl.

You can control the size by changing the number of chain stitches at the beginning of the work or choosing a smaller yarn weight for your crochet stitch.

You can easily customize crochet baby blanket patterns, especially if they use basic stitches such as double crochet stitch.

Don’t be square, put some stars in your kip!

While most blankets are traditionally made in rectangular or square shapes, a star is also quite a viable shape, regardless of the number of points. However, to offset their novel shapes, these blankets are made using traditional stitches and textures. Thus, each one will not only be a perfect accesory to a star-covered nap, but also a lovely decoration or even  center piece in a room. Also, if you have a housewarming to attend, such a blanket will be just the thing to make a new house comfy and beautiful.

Star Blanket

To begin exploring the theme of a star-covered nap, here is a beautiful striped star baby blanket. In particular, its glorious stripes radiate outward with Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn, a soft and delicate touch for tender young skin.

The original pattern and the photos are available on yarnspiration.com:

Arizona Sunset

The next candidate for our star-covered nap is this wonderful blanket. Overall, it’s adaptation of the popular Rainbow Ripple Baby Blanket and shows how a circular pattern can make a symmetrical starburst pattern. Indeed, this would make a great floor play blanket for the little one.

The original pattern and the photos are available on Ravelry:

Arizona Blanket

Mini Galaxy of Change

However, just because the blanket is a star-covered nap accessory, it doesn’t have to be all serene and peaceful. In addition to the color choice (quite calm in this case) the star blanket can also have a pretty varied and wild texture, and this wonderful project shows you how. The texture transitions are particularly wonderful.
