A baby blanket can be a blanket in a crib or in a stroller for a walk; it can be taken to discharge or to the clinic. When the baby grows up, such a thing quickly turns into a play mat. If you are going to the store to buy such a product, then don’t rush, because below we will help you create a blanket for a newborn with your own hands.

How to crochet a baby blanket

Even a novice craftswoman can easily crochet a blanket for a newborn. This product is simply a square. It does not require complex patterns or calculations, and decorations can be made in the form of flowers, hearts, bows or other elements. It is not necessary to adhere to the specified dimensions and strictly square shape. The optimal length ranges from 80 to 120 cm, but its specific value depends on your preferences. Below you will find specific examples of small and large blankets.

Simple crochet blanket for discharge

The first master class examines the simplest blankets for newborns for discharge, which can also be knitted. The first option is made from threads of only one color, while the second has a striped pattern. You can choose the shade depending on the gender of the child. For a boy, it is better to take white and blue, and for a girl, replace the latter with pink. Both blankets have dimensions of 80x100 cm, so you will need about 350-500 g of yarn. To add density, you can use a double thread.

To calculate the initial number of loops, knit a sample with approximate dimensions of 12 by 12 cm. You need to leave it to lie down, and then use a ruler to measure the number of air loops (AC) per 1 cm. All that remains is to divide one of the dimensions of the blanket by the calculated value. This will be the initial number of VPs. The description of the rows for knitting a baby blanket is as follows:

1. Enter the calculated number of VPs.
2. Make 1 double crochet (Dc) 3 stitches from the beginning, then 1 Dc again, but without any gaps.
3. Go up 2 ch and work to the end of the dc. Continue this way until the desired length, changing the colors of the yarn if necessary.
4. Tie the edges with single crochets (SC), and then with the same stitches, but from left to right (this is how the “crawfish step” pattern is knitted).

How to crochet a blanket from motifs

Crochet blankets for newborns with patterns of various motifs, for example, “granny squares,” are becoming more interesting. This model is good because it is easier for a beginning craftswoman to handle it, because it is always easier to create several small parts and connect them than to knit a large fabric. In addition, you don’t need to buy a lot of yarn of different colors - leftovers from previous projects will also work, which will be enough for 1 square. Additionally, you can even knit a pillowcase this way.

The product itself will have dimensions of 1.1x1.3 m. It will require 1800 g of yarn of different colors, but of the same structure and thickness. Hooks are required numbered 3,5 and 4. In addition, you will need scissors and a needle. For beginners, it is better to use simpler motifs, as shown in the diagram. The work steps look like this:

1. Start with 4 VPs, close them in a ring. Knit 3 double crochets inside it, then make 2 ch. Make 4 such cycles, then connect the first stitch with the last loop according to the diagram.
2. Next, make 5 dc and 2 dc, but in the chain loop of the previous row, then 2 ch and 2 dc in the next loop of the first row and again 2 dc. Knit this combination 4 times.
3. Next, repeat the same thing, just start with 7 dc, and at the end of the cycle do 4 dc.
4. Sew the seam with a needle. The square is ready!
5. Make another 220 of the same parts for the specified product dimensions. Connect the parts together with air loops, pulling the thread through both elements.

Multi-colored crocheted square blanket

This blanket for a newborn is crocheted in the following dimensions - 125 by 125 cm. It will require about 100 squares, i.e., the side of each is 12.5 cm. The yarn needed is multi-colored, but its total quantity should be about 1500 g. It is better to take a hook number 4, although different thicknesses of thread may require a thinner or thicker one. The sequence of work is as follows:

1. Knit 1 square as a sample to measure the knitting density on it. Using a ruler, calculate the number of loops per 1 cm. Divide 12.5 cm by the resulting value - you will get the required number of VPs.
2. Cast on a chain of the calculated number of loops, then simply knit a sc, making 2 VP lifts at the turns. Knit the element to the desired size and close the loops.
3. Knit another 99 squares, then connect them together with a crochet hook or needle using a plain thread, such as white.

Do-it-yourself openwork blanket for a newborn for discharge

This blanket for a newborn requires more diligence and skill from mothers or grandmothers. But the product turns out to be very beautiful, which is what is required for such a celebration as the baby’s discharge from the maternity hospital. It can also be used for baptism of a baby. The dimensions of the finished baby blanket are 92 by 114 cm. The following materials and tools will be required:

• crochet hook No. 2;
• satin ribbon – 6 m;
• cotton yarn – 500 g.

You can take any color, but white or pink or blue will look good depending on the gender of the child. To begin, cast on a chain of 196 VPs and knit according to pattern 1. You need to make 21 repeats in width, and 31 in length. The description of the rows of this pattern is as follows:

• make air loops;
• alternately perform 5 and 4 VPs;
• knit cycles of 9 dc + 1 sc;
• alternate between dc and air loop;
• knit cycles of 1 RLS and 3 VP;
• start the complex again from the first point.

1. Tie the edges with a sc, then 2 rows of dc, and in the corners make 5 dc for an even extension.
2. Next, perform the next repeating part - 3 sc and 3 ch, skipping 3 warp loops. In the corners, do it a little differently - 3 dc, 3 ch and again 3 dc through 1 base loop.

After creating such a border, you still need to tie it with fans, which echo the main motif of the product. The result should be 6 such elements in width and 7 in length. Make an openwork binding according to scheme 2, using the symbols on it. Next, thread the ribbon through the holes in the border, tying it with a bow in one of the corners or even two.

Learn how to create and you will find in photo and video tutorials.

The birth of a child is a big holiday for the whole family. I want this day to remain in my memory for the rest of my life.

A newborn's attire is a touching element of a happy family event

Photos taken upon leaving the maternity hospital always capture a wonderful event with sweet details. There are happy parents, a huge bouquet of flowers, grandparents, doctors, and closest friends. The baby is so tiny that he is shown in the picture only as a three-dimensional bundle. A beautiful blanket, knitted by yourself and tied with a beautiful ribbon - it’s so traditional, but at the same time very touching.

Superstitions associated with a dowry for a baby

Despite the fact that during pregnancy a young woman expecting her first child usually has a lot of free time, especially in the last months, for superstitious reasons she should not engage in sewing or knitting. This sign can be treated differently. Some people laugh at old prejudices, while others are sure that in this case it is better to play it safe than to make a mistake that you may later greatly regret. The fact is that it is believed that if during pregnancy you engage in work related to threads, the child runs the risk of becoming entangled in the umbilical cord.

A blanket knitted by a grandmother will bring love, happiness and good health to the child.

There are a lot of signs associated with the birth of a new person. In particular, this: before the baby is born, parents should not purchase any things for him. Where does the dowry for the baby come from? After all, from the very first days of his life he needs a lot of all kinds of things. The answer is simple - parents do not gain anything, but their own mothers and fathers can collect the dowry secretly from them. This approach is very reasonable, as it unites relatives who are not very well known around the young family. The blanket for discharge from the maternity hospital is usually knitted by one of the grandmothers. As a rule, women at this age already know how to knit, so making a beautiful knitted blanket is not difficult for them.

Yarn should be only the best

Knitting a beautiful blanket to wrap a newborn in is not at all difficult. You just need to decide on a few questions. Firstly, what time of year the baby is expected to appear. Secondly, what gender is he? And thirdly, which pattern will be most suitable.

It is better to knit a blanket for discharge in the summer from cotton, viscose or silk yarn. The baby will not be hot, and the face, covered with a light cover, will not be exposed to the rays of the bright sun and will be protected from both dust and the evil eye.

If the birth is expected in winter, then a warm woolen blanket will come in handy. In yarn stores you can find excellent wool threads designed especially for children. They are particularly lightweight. It is better not to take fluffy ones, such as mohair or angora, as they are fluffy and the lint can cause anxiety to the baby. For discharge, it is better to make it from soft cashmere.

Color choice matters

The color can be any. Delicate pastel shades are especially suitable for this occasion. The blanket for a girl is pink, and for a boy it is blue. White bedspreads with a contrasting ribbon threaded along the edge look very nice.

If for some reason the gender of the child is unknown, then white will be the best choice.

Crocheted fabric is most suitable for a baby blanket

A crocheted blanket for discharge for newborns (patterns are presented in this article) is preferable to knitting. The fact is that such a blanket can be easily tied if the need arises. There is another plus - such a blanket is practically not deformed, that is, its edges do not curl, as happens with straight fabrics made on knitting needles.

The variety of design options should not be intimidating

A fairly thick winter woolen blanket can be knitted with a simple net, and a silk ribbon threaded around the perimeter. It is important that the pattern is without bumps or other thickenings. They will interfere with the baby, creating discomfort when he lies in a stroller or crib. You can get creative with the patterns if you crochet a summer blanket for newborns for discharge. Patterns for thin canvases are usually quite complex. In addition to the main pattern used for the central part, you need to choose a pattern for the border. This work is for an experienced knitter, as it requires the ability to calculate and adjust repeats.

A crocheted blanket for discharge for newborns, diagrams and photos of the summer and winter versions of which are presented in the article, requires calculation regarding the size of the canvas. As a rule, it is standard - 1 m x 1.2 m. It is inconvenient to wrap a child in a blanket that is too large or too small.

The blanket can be knitted with fancy openwork, or it can be knitted with a simple fillet with a laconic pattern in the form of flowers, hearts or stripes.

The knitting speed depends on the thickness of the threads and the hook number

Thin threads also require a thin hook. This blanket takes a long time to knit. For thick wool, you should use a thicker hook. A skilled knitter will need no more than two weeks to crochet a woolen blanket for newborns for discharge (patterns of a simple fillet of double crochets and two or three chain loops between them are visible in the photo below).

It is better to knit with loose loops - this will make the item more flexible.

Knitting a sample is a mandatory stage of work

Before starting work on the main fabric, you should knit a small sample. It must be measured in length and width, and the numbers written down. After this, the sample must be washed in the same way as you are going to subsequently wash the entire blanket.

The dried and ironed sample must be measured again and, by comparing the initial and final dimensions, the loops must be calculated.

A universal option - from individual motifs

The most common, one might say, universal blanket is made from square motifs. They are knitted in single colors or multi-colored. The connection occurs during the knitting process or after all the elements are ready. Then they can be connected with the same yarn using a hook or sewn with a needle with threads of a matching color. Blankets knitted from threads of two or three colors that match each other are very beautiful. You should not tie voluminous flowers into the squares of the blanket on which the child will lie. Although it looks very beautiful, the inconvenience caused by the thickening from the flowers to the fragile bone skeleton is too great.

Knitting with a single fabric from the center is a good option for a not very experienced craftswoman.

Another version of a universal blanket is a fabric knitted from the middle. The sides of such a canvas are the same length. The knitting process is extremely simple - stitches are added at the corners of each next row. For this reason, the number of columns and air loops becomes larger and larger with distance from the middle. This option is characterized by the fact that the corners of the canvas are somewhat elongated - not rectangular, but sharp, and the straight parts, accordingly, are slightly compressed. For a small blanket made of thick threads, this feature is quite acceptable. With this method of knitting, the choice of patterns is very limited, but you can play with color. In addition, it is somewhat easier to tie a square fabric with an openwork border than a rectangular one. The border can only be tied on two opposite sides, then the blanket will take on a standard size.

A woolen blanket can be washed in a machine using the “Wool” setting or by hand. The spin is only very delicate. Cotton ones can be safely machine washed, and white ones can even be bleached.

Good afternoon, dear needlewomen!

Knitting for children, namely a blanket, is a very necessary thing in a family with a baby. The blanket will be useful on the street, in a crib, in a stroller, at discharge or at an appointment at the clinic, or maybe at a themed photo shoot. In the future, it can be used as a mat during games on the floor. If you have at least a little skill, then this master class is for you!

Crochet blanket with hearts

The blanket is crocheted, the main pattern is cones. See our previous one for how to knit this pattern.

: For knitting, we need six skeins of yarn of different colors, including a whole skein for tying and joining the parts (we have 100 grams per 336 meters). Special children's yarn marked baby is best. For knitting we used a hook No. 3.5.

The principle of knitting such a blanket is to knit individual squares with hearts, which will subsequently be connected to each other, forming a whole fabric. The squares must be strictly the same in length and width.

In our case, the squares turned out to be approximately 10 by 10 centimeters, 70 pieces, so the finished product will be 100 cm by 70 cm (7 squares wide and 10 long)

Keep in mind that even yarn from the same company can be of different thicknesses, so compare the squares while knitting and adjust the density.

It depends on the pattern you choose. It is most reliable to knit a product that has a step-by-step description and diagram.

Functions of a knitted baby blanket

If a child appears in the house, a blanket is one of the main things that should be there. A white, pink or blue blanket will definitely be needed when the child is taken from the hospital. In the future, you can use it, or you can knit a product of a larger size, because the child is growing.

Depending on the time of year, different threads are used for knitting it, be it a hook or knitting needles. Patterns are also selected depending on the thickness of the threads and the season for which the bedspread is being prepared.

It’s good when there are two blankets in your arsenal of children’s clothes – one for home and the other for the street. It is useful both for a crib in an apartment and for a stroller outside. In cool weather it is simply irreplaceable. It is advisable to knit items from threads of different thicknesses using a motif. Then the blankets can be used in different weather conditions.

Advantages of a knitted product

A product that you can knit for a child with your own hands is much warmer than a purchased analogue. The same can be said about the blanket. Watch crocheted baby blankets video.

Knitting is considered simple and calming activity. Over time, when the drawing is already familiar, the work moves faster. Difficulties arise when you need to knit complex patterns. If you need a simple knitting pattern, then you can do the work only with single crochets or single crochets. A bedspread knitted with such a simple pattern can be decorated with crocheted toys, various animals, for example, bears or other children's decor.

Below are diagrams and descriptions for the products. The main thing about them is that you can knit any product to the length and width that you need.

Crocheting a simple baby blanket

For knitting, alternating double crochets and air loops are used. The finished fabric looks like a mesh through which you can thread threads of different colors. The result is a beautiful and elegant product.

You can also try knit a similar product, but complicate the process itself a little. To do this, colored threads are not threaded into the mesh, but tied. So let's get started. The first row of the mesh is knitted with the main thread, for the second row colored yarn is used and you need to knit a row with single crochets. Where the threads join, there is no need to trim the ends, but rather, leave them longer so that you can tie a tassel later. The entire blanket is knitted in this sequence, up to a certain length.

The good thing about the option using two colors is that the product can be knitted from leftover yarn. The tassels on the product can be made either single-color or colored.

The finished product turns out very beautiful, and its density directly depends on the thickness of the threads.

Knitting in the round

This product has a square shape because knit in the round from the middle. It can have different sizes, depending on the age of the child and your preferences. For a children's blanket, you can use both single-color threads and multi-colored ones. The finished product, knitted from threads with a gradient effect, looks beautiful. You can independently choose bright threads for such a product, there is only one motive.

The heart is knitted from the middle, in the round.

• for a small children's blanket, only three skeins of yarn are enough, and for a larger product you need to purchase at least six;
• It is advisable to take threads “in reserve”, since calculating the required amount is difficult even for experienced needlewomen;
• When purchasing, you need to carefully consider the article numbers on all skeins. If they are different, then the color of the yarn will be slightly different.

we need 500 gr. Milk Cotton yarn (45% cotton, 15% rayon, 40% acrylic
150 m, 50 g), hook No. 2, satin ribbon 1 cm wide, 6 meters.

Description of crocheting a blanket:
The size of the finished blanket along with the openwork binding is 92 cm by 114 cm.
We cast on a chain of 196 loops and knit exactly according to the pattern to the desired length. In my case, the width of the blanket to the binding is 71 cm. - 21 reports.

1st row: air loops;
2nd row: alternate 5 and 4 air loops;
3rd row: *9 double crochets, single crochet*
4th row: * double crochet, chain stitch *
Row 5: *single crochet, 3 chain stitches*
Next, we continue knitting from the first row.

I ended up with 31 reports in length. After the main fabric is ready, we select the binding. I really liked the binding that I used, it resembles large fans, and the main fabric resembles small fans. Therefore, there was a good combination and harmony in the pattern.

We tie all the edges of the blanket with single crochet stitches, counting the stitches so that there are the same number of stitches on parallel sides. Next, we knit 2 rows with double crochets, in the corners for even expansion we knit 5 double crochets in one loop. Next, we knit a row under the ribbon as follows: *3 single crochets, 3 chain loops, while skipping 3 base loops*, repeat the entire row. in the corners we knit like this: 3 double crochets, 3 chain stitches, 3 double crochets in one base loop.
We knit another row with a double crochet and proceed to the actual piping according to the pattern.

I got 6 fans in width, 7 in height, and 4 fans in the corners.
The blanket turned out to be very soft and tender. And it knits up quite quickly.
You can decorate it with a ribbon of any color, I just have bows in 4 corners, since this blanket is intended for a newborn boy.
