This crochet baby blanket makes the perfect handmade gift for babies! Whip up one of these quick and cozy crochet baby blankets for the little ones and some crochet baby booties! Working with this chunky yarn makes it super fast, and you’ll want to make a bigger one for yourself once you notice how soft and warm it feels!
The pattern is really easy once you get the hang of it, and I think the sweet shell stitch gives the blanket a little extra detail that I love. This is easy enough for beginners, so don’t shy away from this pattern if you’re new to crochet.
