Who doesn’t love a new baby blanket? I certainly do!
These baby blankets have been finished for many years (8-9 years to be exact), but I never got around to publishing them (what can I say except life has been busy)! It’s about time that they’re available for you to make!
The first is my Snuggly Chevron Baby Blanket. This blanket is super soft and squishy using boucle yarns. I used 2 strands of a light worsted weight yarn for the center and 1 strand of a bulky weight yarn for the edging. If you’ve got both weights of boucle yarns in your stash, this is a great way to use them together! Of course, you don’t have to use boucle yarn. You can use any type of yarn you desire in whatever colors you desire (I personally love soft baby colors).
The second is my Textured Columns Baby Blanket. This blanket is also soft and squishy, but it’s made using sport weight and light worsted weight acrylic yarns. I used a Hobby Lobby yarn for the center and Caron Simply Soft yarn for the edging (I know, it’s not “technically” light worsted weight, but it’s a lot thinner than many other worsted weight yarns, so it worked out just fine).
If you’ve got a baby coming or know someone who has a baby coming, these blankets would make great baby shower gifts! The Snuggly Chevron Baby Blanket is going to my youngest son and DIL for their second child, due next month.

Happy crocheting,
