Handmade Blankets / Baby Blankets, Cozy Blankets, Mermaid Blankets

Dear users, dear authors,
how about some new blankets / baby blankets / cozy blankets / mermaid blankets?
Let’s get started.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author is enough. Don’t forget to include a link and an image, as well as the usual information about materials, techniques, etc.

Blankets are always a lovely gift for the birth of a baby. You really can’t go wrong with them. Personally, though, I would always use high-quality merino wool here, because it truly keeps you warm and is breathable. You can never get sweaty underneath it, because excess heat is wicked away. It’s also cuddly soft, which we already love when knitting. And parents like that it can be washed in the washing machine. My recommendation would be this one:

Timeless Baby Blanket Made from Merino Wool





When the children are a little older, they may like it more colorful. This children’s blanket here is crocheted from different colors/leftover yarn. We basically crochet lots of squares, which we then crochet together. Children like it so colorful, and we can use up our leftovers.

And last but not least, another recommendation for the “gradient cake friends.” Yes, you can knit wonderful children’s blankets from gradient cakes, too. This one is made from 5-ply merino wool. The colors come straight from the ball, and in the end you only have 2 threads to weave in. The size of the blanket depends on the size/yardage of the gradient cake. The pattern continues endlessly.

I hope you have lots of fun with the blanket of your choice.

You can crochet a baby blanket based on an original pattern from my grandma with this pattern. Gradient yarns or Bobbel work wonderfully for it. Depending on whether it’s meant to be a light summer blanket or a warm fall/winter blanket, you can use cotton yarn or a blended yarn.

   Here’s the pattern

Derived from that, I have another design with lots of heart in my Shop. You can crochet both designs for boys and girls, entirely according to your individual color wishes. Depending on the yarn used, this gives you a great gift for a birth for any season. 

Here’s the pattern   

And now—have fun crocheting!

A cozy blanket with lots of hearts, knitted from soft merino wool—little babies love it. It makes them feel safe and snug.

A lovely gift for a newborn, for Christmas, or just because.

In my Store you'll find patterns for blankets to knit and crochet



For this blanket, you don't need a cable needle to achieve this cable look. Only knit and purl stitches are knitted. For the material, I chose a merino yarn with 120 m and 165 m. The size can be individually adapted to your wishes.
