#1 Hudson Blanket: Modern Hexagon Baby Blanket Pattern
The perfect edges and angles to a geometrical figure blanket make it so exquisite and modern. I love this hexagonal pattern crocheted in beautiful, cool hues, and just how minimal and clean it looks. Also, this baby blanket wouldn’t have to stay behind in the childhood memory cabinet, because it is so versatile and can continue to be used for multipurpose such as a throw for a couch or a picnic spread, but that is only if the little one would allow it. Patterns from The Blue Elephants
#2 Gender Neutral Crochet Baby Blanket – Free Pattern
Ugh! What a beauty! Who doesn’t love fusion pieces with a fun twist to original, traditional designs? This pattern is basically a gorgeous, modern version of the traditional Ripple Afghan. Made in a color gradient, it will serve as a gender-neutral blanket. It is such a radiant and unique piece, it will go with just about any theme of the nursery, but especially well, if all else is neutral and minimal. Patterns from Make & Do Crew
#3 Crochet Hugs & Kisses Baby Blanket Pattern
The Crochet Hugs and Kisses Blanket is what we all need! It is gorgeous, I repeat GORGEOUS! The choice of colors is so modern and charming. The pattern itself is wonderfully chic and so pleasing. I love how perfect geometrical lines and figures look, in crochet patterns. Also, the blanket is somewhat chunky and textured. You can try this one in a warm color palette too. Patterns from The Crochet Crowd
#4 Get Some Zzz’s Crochet Baby Blanket
A basic and cute blanket for everyday use for your little angel. It’s a knit blanket and I just love what typography does to knit patterns. Since this pattern is crafted using some beautiful, cool-toned bulky yarn, the blanket itself will be quite a bit heavy and super cozy, hence perfect to keep your cutie warm enough on cold wintery nights. I love the zzz pattern and heart incorporated. This free crochet baby blanket pattern can be found on the One Dog Woof website.
#5 Crochet Baby Bear Blanket Free Pattern
Super chunky, very squishy, and topped off with a very cute teddy bear applique – this crochet baby bear blanket has checked off all the boxes for the perfect present for a baby. Since the stitches in this blanket are tightly packed, it will make a very soft and warm blanket. Although you can make the blanket without the appliqued bear on it, it makes a delightful add-on that any young one would love. Patterns from Crochet Dreamz
#6 Crochet Animal Alphabet Afghan Pattern
The animal alphabet afghan is a cute classic. This pattern is a bit tricky though, as the blanket itself is made with the even moss stitch and you need to work the alphabets in between the stitches of the blanket instead of working your tapestry needle to the back of the blanket. The colorful alphabets and pictures make the whole blanket super radiant and cute, so you might want to frame or preserve this blanket somehow even when it no longer covers your little one. Patterns from Repeat Crafter Me
#7 Easy Striped Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern
This striped baby blanket pattern is such a great crafting project because it’s a unique fun pattern. Also, this pattern is visually appealing and so neat. I would love to create a similar blanket in bigger dimensions for myself, and even save the baby version for a throw or something. Patterns from Crochet Life
#8 Moss Stitch in A Square Blanket
This wonderful blanket pattern is made using Caron Big Cakes yarn, with the moss stitch technique. This is such an easy and relaxing crafting project because you don’t need to exclusively focus on crocheting, so you could be binge-watching your favorite show while creating this beauty alongside. Does it get any better than that? Patterns from Repeat Crafter Me
#9 Fox Block Blanket Pattern
What a beautiful and vibrant winter essential for a little one. With 20 colorful fox squares, this pattern makes a quite eye-catching baby blanket. You can play with the colors, using a mix of your favorite ones, or just one nice color contrasting against the background. This blanket is made using the corner to corner method, and it is a surprisingly quick crafting project which you will thoroughly enjoy. Patterns from The Friendly Red Fox
#10 Red Heart Crochet Baby Snuggle Up with Sleeves
If you have a little naughty toddler that often catches a cold because they wouldn’t stop tossing off their blanket, a crochet baby snuggle will be perfect for them. You can make it in your favorite color, but since it is a monochrome pattern, it’s best to pick a vibrant one. The snuggle is a wrap-around with sleeves, so your tiny angel will be protected against the cold from head to toe, looking cuter than ever. Patterns from Yarnspirations
#11 Elephant Granny Square Lovey Blanket Crochet Pattern
Aren’t lovey blankets the perfect choice for babies? The warmth of a blanket, and the comfort of cuddling with your favorite snuggle buddy – the little one gets the best of both worlds with a lovey blanket. This elephant lovey blanket pattern will help you make the cutest snuggling buddy, perfect for a new born baby’s welcome or a first birthday present. Patterns from Dendennis
#12 Polar Bear Cub Crochet Blanket
I don’t know how something as massive as a bear can manage to be so cute too, therefore, having a bear blanket in your childhood is almost essential. It’s big, it’s warm, it’s cute, and it’s perfect for hiding away in the cold grey days. The white of the bear against the bright teal background is such a lovely contrast, you’ve got to try it out. Patterns from Repeat Crafter Me
#13 Leaping Stripes & Blocks Blanket
What a pleasant-looking pattern to create the cutest blanket! I’m loving the overlapping blocks, that are giving off the most charming nature-inspired vibes. With pink tones, it seems beautiful like the Bougainvillea vine, and with the blue tones, it’s like the perfect waterfall-inspired project. One row of color overlapping the other is so beautiful to look at, so if you want to make this blanket for yourself, you can even make it in bigger dimensions, as the blog has provided a sizing guide, so cheers for that. Patterns from Moogly
#14 Crochet Pink Gingham Blanket
The kind-of-ombre pink tones of this Gingham blanket give off such a pleasing and cool aesthetic, that it is totally hard to resist. Finding the perfect two shades of yarn from the same color family can be quite a task though, because you want the right two tones that will make sense together otherwise the whole pattern will be a failure. Once you’ve got the perfect two shades, you’ll need to switch the yarn every ten stitches for creating this lovely pattern. I would use this as a couch throw, also have you noticed how ‘wow’ is the border?! Patterns from Daisy Farm Crafts
#15 Tributary Free Beginner Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern
What a beautiful baby blanket! It would make a perfect blanket for a cute little baby boy, but you’ll need a think yarn for this pattern. It’s the perfect project for beginners as the thicker yarn is quicker to work with, and the stitches in this pattern are quite simple and the thicker yarn hides any flaws. Also, you won’t need to cut the yarn at the end of each row so the finishing process will be even simpler, with much lesser weaving off required. So my crochet buddies, not trying out this gorgeous and wonderfully easy project would be a shame. Patterns from Make & Do Crew
Free Crochet Baby Blanket Patterns – In Conclusion
Blankets are a must-have for everyone, so a cute baby blanket will make a perfect and memorable gift for a little one's literally warm welcome. You can even use blankets as picnic spreads and keep them saved once the young ones outgrow them, as they make great hand-me-down tokens.
