Heart Baby Blanket Crochet

Hi friends! Once upon a time, one of my dear friends was pregnant. Me being a proper crocheter I decided to gift a handmade baby blanket for that family. I got three colors: gray, blue and pink. I picked the softest stitch I could make, started crocheting bottom up, while waiting for that little surprise to be born. Little mister was born healthy, and I was able to make that turquoise heart in the middle. Of course I wasn’t able to give the family this blanket for their baby shower, or right after birth, but it was all worth is in the end. I’ve made this blanket 34 x 35 inches, the little mister will be able to use his blankie for a while.

The baby blanket turned out so soft and cuddly. And if it wasn’t obvious already how much a new baby is loved, this heart in the middle spells it out.

I wrote down a pattern for those who have a little baby in their family or among their friends, that is so loved and adored that a Heart Baby Blanket is needed. I hope you enjoy the pattern. Even beginners will be able to follow these directions.
