It’s no secret that I love to crochet baby blankets as gifts.

I especially enjoy motif projects, because they are portable right up until the end.
This blanket is made up of 46 hexagons and it keeps the honeycomb shape for visual appeal.
I combined neutral colors with a pop of pale blue for a unisex blanket that fits perfectly over a stroller. Of course, you can add more motifs to make it another size. You can also make a scrappy version, or use a different set of complementary colors.

Hi, I’m new to your great blog. Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial about this lovely blanket! I would like to create a gift for the baby girl of a friend of mine with my own hands. I will keep this blanket idea in mind. Could I ask you how much time did it take to finish this project?
Thanks for your kind words, Dalila. I didn’t keep track so I’m not sure how long it took. My suggestion would be to make one motif and then you’ll have a sense of how fast you can finish it.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion.
