Your favourite baby blanket

[anne1975]

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new so I hope its ok if I ask for some advice!
I have a friend that is having her first baby in September! I was thinking about crocheting her a nice baby blanket to welcome her new arrival. I have seen TONS of blanket patterns so not looking to fine a specific pattern, but just wondered what your favourite baby blanket pattern is. I have a few in mind but just wondered what everyone else thought!

Same here! It took me a little over a week to do one that was roughly 36" point to point

I agree, this is a gorgeous blanket. It was the pictures of Nadine's blanket that prompted me to purchase the pattern.

I purchased white Modea baby yarn which is being discontinued and was on sale, to make a christening blanket for my Son and daughter-in-law when they have their first child.

So far it's the Dream Puff Baby Afghan (http://www.knitting-crochet.com/crochet/snoflacap.html) (scroll down a bit) but I've really only done a few different baby blankets so far. Ask me again in a few months and I'm sure I'll have a new favorite. :hook

Oh my gosh, I just saw that and wow, its stunning! Definitely making it hard to pick just one blanket to do!

My favorite is Crochetville's own Kim Guzman's personalized baby blanket. It is the standard baby gift I give, the color combo's are endless and it does work up fast. There is a tutorial on Kim's site to help you through. I love it.

I think I have made more round ripples than anything. Easy pattern and easy to memorize. They're always a hit.

I have two favorites: chromium star blanket http://thekidneybean.wordpress.com/crochet-patterns/chromium-star-blanket/
and bubbles baby blanket http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/patterns/bubbles_baby_blanket.php

These both go really fast.

I'm dying to try my hand at a RR, but I also LOVED doing the bubbles baby blanket with picot edging~I first saw it here: http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=73265&highlight=pink+camo+blanket (((((HUGS))))) sandi

This (http://promotions.drgnetwork.com/newsletters/talkingcrochet/pages/TCNL2507_patt.html) worked up quickly for me, just keep going until you get the size you want then start the decreases.

I hadn't seen that one before (that I remember!) and I love it. Thanks for posting the link. I'm really "hooked" on Aggie May's rr. I try to make it about 40" pt to pt so that the baby can use it as he/she grows.

I have to agree with the round ripple. You can make them up quickly and you can put any kind of edge on it.

my pics are gone cuz it was so long ago. but this is def. worth a try!

I think I mentionned earlier that Aggie Mays rr is my favorite. I do like the bubbles baby blanket too. It is very easy and beautiful too. Pattern is here http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/patterns/bubbles_baby_blanket.php[/URL] .
Here's one I did. I used pink and white. I used one strand of pink throughout the entire project and every 5 or so rows I substituted one strand of white for one of the pinks. Hope you enjoy.

I'm about halfway finished with the Tiramisu Baby Blanket. The stitch is incredibly easy. Just single crochet. I've already tested the border and it's easy too. Good for a beginner and the blanket is just beautiful.
I'm using Lion Brand Pound of Love in a mint green and an N hook. I'm dying to make another one and this one isn't even finished yet! :hook
