What are the Best Crochet Stitches for Baby Blankets?

Most of the blankets included use only basic crochet stitches – single crochet stitch and double crochet stitch. Baby blankets are often crocheted with an easy repeat pattern which makes them fast to make.

You can use any easy stitch pattern you enjoy making, and simply crochet rows until your blanket is the size you want.

Yarn for Crochet Baby Blankets

You will need an easily washable yarn and there is a fantastic selection available. Acrylic yarn or cotton yarns both wash easily in a machine. You can make your blanket in a single color or use several colours. Self-striping yarns are also a quick and easy way to include colors into your blanket, and less ends to weave in!

Each baby blanket crochet pattern will include details for the yarn used for the blanket and the crochet hook size that you require.
