How to make a handmade baby blanket

I don’t know if you’ve already started preparing the layette for your baby or if you’re still thinking about it, in any case I’d like to suggest you insert something handmade. For example, why don’t you try making a handmade cover yourself? 

You can prepare it for the cot, for the pram or for the cradle, make it of wool or cotton, in a solid color or in several colours.
In short, you can make it to measure and as you like it  (this is also the beauty of handmade things).

In addition, you are free to make the blanket for your baby with the technique in which you feel more comfortable manually, such as in fabric with the patchwork technique if you love to sew, embroidered in cross stitch if you like to embroider, or knit or crochet if you have a soft spot for balls of yarn.

Since I’m passionate about crochet and that lately it’s back in fashion, today I’m going to show you how to make a baby blanket using this technique.

How to make a handmade crochet blanket

Making this  crochet blanket isn’t difficult. After all, if you think about it, it’s about working a simple rectangle, right?

To make your job as simple as possible however, I have prepared a really easy to follow pattern . In addition, I took pictures for you to see the most important steps. So, don’t worry, you’ll be able to make your blanket even if you’ve just learned to crochet.

Required material

  • wool or cotton
  • crochet

Points used

  • little chains
  • high tops

Explanation

As you can see from the pattern, the pattern for the cover is simple and repeats throughout the rounds. It can be done with alternating colors or in a solid color. At the end of the work you get a wave crochet motif suitable for covers.

To start, work a row of chain stitches with a number of stitches that are multiples of 10 plus 3.

Then work  *4 treble crochets, skip two stitches underneath, 4 treble crochets, chain 2 and repeat this pattern all the way round and all rounds.
Also help yourself with the diagram and the photos below where you can see the two different angles to do.
