Baby Blanket Free Patterns

I love finding new crochet stitches to try and recently spent a lot of time mastering the diamond stitch.

I’d been wanting to try it out for a while, then when I started working on my Linked Hearts Messy Bun pattern, and needing to add some texture, I knew it was time to try it out. I also went on to make a beautiful infinity scarf to match.

The patterns are available here on my website so you can make them too! I’m sure they’ll make wonderful gifts this winter season.

Anyway, since I love discovering new stitches, and there are so many baby blankets out there, I went on the hunt and found these 20 amazing designs to share with you.

I love all the different colors and stitches in these blankets and they have varying difficulty levels so there’s something for everyone to try. My list starts out with a few different styles of granny squares, since they are a staple in blanket making.

Then, scroll down to find several blanket patterns with all different kinds of stitches. Towards the end there’s a color pooling blanket, a corner to corner, and a Tunisian crochet blanket.

First, I love the colors in this Rainbow Droplets Babyghan. It looks really fun and easy to make with the individual squares and the big rainbow border.

This granny square blanket looks really fun and would be great for using up small amounts of yarn. I think the off-set squares are really fun and that yarn looks beautiful! Along with the written pattern there is a video tutorial, lot of photos, and a schematic diagram.

Here’s a super easy granny square blanket. Great for beginners.
