here are the 5 FREE BABY BLANKET PATTERNS TO CROCHET IN A WEEKEND

1.  Easy on the Tongue - I made this one-stitch chevron blanket for my grandson, almost two years ago. It was my first crochet blanket and also the first blanket I ever finished...

The single crochets are done in the back loop which causes the ripple-effect (apart from the chevron).

The baby shower had a mint color scheme and I incorporated it into the blanket - and yes, it was done in time!

2.  For the Rescued Paw Designs' pattern, the blogger, Krista used worsted weight yarn (very thick yarn) and a combination of single and double crochet stitches.

She calls it a simple crochet blanket, and it really and truely is super simple to create.

If you want, add fringes at the two shorter ends or in the length if you want to use it as a throw.

You can be cute and add pom-poms instead - who said creativity is dead.

3.  Rebecca of Little Monkeys Crochet created a delightful blanket for her son, Henry.  

She basically divided the blanket into 6 color blocks which alternate between blocks of Herringbone HDC and blocks of SC+HDC combos. Each color block is separated by a thin, 2-row block of white, to quote. 

The ribbing at the top and bottom makes for a very fine finish and adds to the overall charm of the project.

5.  Just Pootling used waffle stitch to crochet a soft and special blanket, edged with a pom-pom like border.  At the end of her post, there is a link to the tutorial post.  

It looks super soft and baby-ish and I am sure, any expecting Mommy will love a gift like this.

Super simple, quick and easy, yet functional with a finishing touch.
