Easy Crochet Baby Blanket
Pattern by KnitcroAddict
Hello everyone, I’m Wan from KnitcroAddict and I’m so happy to be back at Underground Crafter to share another pattern with you.
Today, I have an amazingly easy, beginner friendly baby blanket. It could be used as a lap blanket or throw as well, but the size is technically closer to a baby blanket. Fortunately, it is so simple to adjust the sizes, so you can go any direction you choose.
I used Bernat Softee Baby Cotton yarn, and there’s no better yarn for a baby blanket in my opinion. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used it on other projects and thought “this will make an incredible baby blanket!” Finally, here it is!
I hope everyone enjoys this one. Who doesn’t love a good blanket?

Thank you! I’ve crocheted before but with less- than-stellar final results. Your directions were clear and easy and the blanket for my great niece turned out beautifully!
I love the baby blanket!! The color, design
and your talent is super!! Thank you for sharing! I plan to use the design as soon as I recover from surgery. So happy to create a baby girl for my niece!
