Crochet blanket

I'm on about my 6th, lilypops, mindlessly crocheting whilst watching TV!

If I was making one for a baby I would use a close stitch rather than a traditional "granny blanket" as I always wonder if babies could get their little fingers caught up in a looser type crochet.

I'd use a single crochet stitch I think.

Thankyou Knittynatter am guessing by your name that you are a keen knitter? Thankyou Bridie54. , I will give it to my nephew and wife. As you say it will be handy for the car as well as afternoon naps. Also I was thinking when Mum is up in the night for feeds , maybe it will keep her warm whilst feeding.
Thanks for your encouraging thoughts

Definitely, a lovely gift. They seem to be becoming more and more popular.

Go for it Lilypops. Am crocheting a blanket just now but mine is for the cats in the local shelter. My grandchildren are older and abroad now but they had their blankets here. Most mums will love a blanket, tucked round the baby in their car seat or pram, or in their cot. You’ll have the satisfaction of making it too.

That will be a lovely gift for them. My grandson is 18 months old and will go fetch his blanket when he is ready fir his afternoon nap. Go ahead and make one: don’t put yourself off by trying to guess what they will think. ?
