What is your favorite go-to crochet gift for a Baby Shower? For me, I love making baby blankets. This roundup includes 10 free crochet patterns for baby afghans. I like to be able to give something to the new parents which they can use with their baby for a longer period of time. I often make a baby hat to go with it but babies grow so quickly! The adorable little hat is only going to fit for such a short time and I want to give them a lasting gift that even a toddler can drag around after themselves and cuddle with on the couch. So for me – I love to make baby blankets 🙂 Here are 10 baby blanket crochet patterns you can make and give as gifts!
All patterns were free at the time they were added to the post.
If you visit a link and it has become a “for sale” pattern, please let me know so I can update it! Thank you!
