Simple Stripes Baby Blanket

FREE Blanket Crochet Pattern for the Baby.

This crochet baby blanket is crocheted in a nice solid stitch using a worsted weight yarn. Thus, it’s perfect for the cold winter weather that we’re having today. It’s great for covering them up while sleeping, or for playing on the floor as you see pictured.

For this blanket I chose a grey, blue and white color combination for a little boy. But for a girl you could substitute a light pink for the blue and have it look just as pretty as this one.

I found this pattern to be a bit time consuming, but the good news is that it’s mindless and very relaxing to crochet.

And since there is no stitch pattern, you can crochet this to any size you want; one for baby and one for yourself!
