This Blanket Is Perfect as a Baby Shower Gift

This blanket is perfect for making as a shower gift. At the time, I used this one as a gift for my new nephew, and he still uses it three years later!

I think that’s why making gifts is so much more rewarding. It is nice to see a blanket I made being loved that much!

I also wanted to mention that you’ll love how easy this works up, and you’ll easily be able to change the colors too per the shower recipient’s taste/preferences. I can’t wait to see your blanket creations.

The Yarn

Big Twist Yarn Baby Blanket

If you have been following along with me over on Instagram, then you will know that I’ve been over-sharing the making of this easy crochet baby blanket pattern for a couple of weeks now.

While out of town, I stopped at a Joann Fabrics and snatched up some Big Twist yarn in a beautiful salmon color! I have been eyeing it up online for quite some time, so as soon as I saw it in-store, I knew I needed it.

Big Twist Premium

This yarn is made by Big Twist, and is a Weight 4 – Medium yarn.

Fiber:
Yardage:
Hook:
Substitute: Color Made Easy Yarn

I also grabbed some other great colors (turquoise, snow, pigeon, and navy) so it would make for a colorful baby blanket.

Take a look at the fantastic colors below!

As of 2021, this yarn is no long available, but Big Twist Classic will work just as well as the Premium.

The Stitches for This Baby Blanket

The quick and easy crochet blanket pattern is made up entirely of single & triple crochet stitches using a size J crochet hook, which creates a incredible bumpy texture.

This blanket is easy to crochet! Plus, the simplicity of only using two stitches makes it a great beginner blanket! I’ll link up a few tutorials below so you can go over the stitches in the design.

1. Single Crochet
2. Triple Crochet
