Crochet Baby Blanket Patterns for Newborns
Crochet baby blankets for newborns include loveys around 12 inches square, stroller blankets around 30 × 35 inches, and receiving blankets around 36 inches square. Soft, machine-washable yarn is essential, and dense stitches without large holes are safest for tiny fingers. Many parents keep a handmade baby blanket as an heirloom.

What is a lovey blanket?
A lovey is a small security blanket, usually 10–14 inches square, often with a stuffed animal head attached in the center. It is a quick project and comforting for babies during supervised use.
Frequently asked questions
What yarn weight for a baby blanket?
DK or worsted weight are most common; bulky makes a faster, thicker blanket.
Should baby blankets have tassels?
Avoid tassels and fringe on baby blankets, as strands can loosen and be pulled off.
