Crochet Baby Blanket Patterns
Crochet baby blanket patterns are sized for strollers, car seats, and receiving blankets, usually 30–36 inches square. Soft machine-washable acrylic or cotton in DK or worsted weight is the practical choice. Simple textured stitches such as moss or half double crochet make blankets that are cozy, quick, and easy for new parents to wash.

What stitch is best for a baby blanket?
The best stitches for a baby blanket are dense and soft with no large holes: moss stitch, half double crochet, waffle stitch, and the granite stitch. Very lacy stitches can catch tiny fingers and toes, so save them for decorative shawls.
