When I became interested in crochet, I found a zillion free unique baby blanket crochet patterns online. I wanted to try all of them. There were different crochet stitches and different techniques. The options are endless if you’re learning how to crochet a blanket. That’s why it makes such an amazing project.

Simple Baby Blanket

With all the gorgeous afghans patterns available, we can’t forget to throw in a simple blanket crochet pattern too. When you take a closer look at this stitch, you’ll see it’s just a basic crochet stitch. Not sure how to make a half-double crochet stitch? A half double crochet is made by yarning over once, inserting your hook into a stitch, yarning over and pulling through, then yarning over and pulling through all three loops left on your hook. It’s really that simple!

Addicting Baby Blanket

We all know crochet can be quite an addicting hobby, but there is no pattern out there more addicting than this one! The repetitive nature of this pattern makes it super easy to memorize and fun to work up, so you’ll be zooming through stitches in no time. This particular pattern is written as a baby-sized afghan, but there are actually five different sizes to choose from once you click through, ranging from an afghan square all the way up to a king-sized afghan.

Easy Crochet Baby Blanket

When you first learn how to crochet a blanket, you want one that is quick and easy so you don’t have to wait for weeks to see the results of your efforts. As far as crocheted baby afghans go, this one is a fast, easy project. It uses only two basic crochet stitches: single crochet and chain stitch. And using a larger-than-usual hook size gives added drape and helps the work to go a little faster than it would otherwise.

Shell Stitch Blanket

The crochet shell stitch is a beautiful stitch that has a number of variations (Learn how to make the shell stitch here). You could take any version of the shell stitch and work it in rows to make a lovely textured afghan of any size – in this case, a gorgeous baby blanket. But you also can go beyond that, combining yarn colors like these and working the shell stitch in unique ways, to make even more impressive crochet afghans.

Striped Pattern with Matching Balls

Crochet can be worked in two ways: in rows or in rings. A flat item, such as a blanket, is created with rows of stitches worked in one direction, then turned and worked back. Spherical and round pieces, such as the ball, are made by crocheting rounds of stitches in a continuous circle; the work is never turned. These patterns from Martha Stewart are a matching set of a blanket pattern and fun crocheted balls for baby to work on their eye-hand coordination.

Blossom Blanket

The blossom pattern is crocheted up using the easy blossom stitch. We love this stitch because it gives you a nice appearance on both sides of the fabric.

It’s shown here in a solid color, but why not try it in pretty baby stripes or even a rainbow color. Babies love color, so the more you add the happier they will be.

Petal Stitch Blanket

This elegant and dainty blanket uses the petal stitch! We love the antique and classic look of this stitch. Paired with the perfect peach yarn the petal stitch really pops. Separating each color with grey and white works well to set them apart and give the illusion of beautiful little daisies. The stitch is made by crocheting into the tops of clusters, sometimes into chain spaces, finding single crochet spaces at the end of the rows sometimes, and other times finding the tops of turning chains. if you are ready to learn a few new things but have the basics mastered, jump in! This is a fun challenge with pretty results!
