Little Ripple Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

Blankets are a necessary part of life. So, you might as well have one you like. The little ripple crochet baby blanket is sweet and simple. It would be a great present for a newborn.

Baby blankets are often the first object a baby touches. They get swaddled up in one right after they’re born. For this reason, I always recommend making easy crochet baby blankets for hospitals to keep on hand.

Crochet baby blanket patterns come in so many different designs and styles. They usually come in a standard baby blanket size and similar color palettes. The baby blanket dimensions could easily be changed to suit your needs.

This baby blanket is a standard size, perfect for wrapping up a little one, but big enough for a crib.

It’s made out of the baby blanket crochet ripple stitch; a textural and elegant crochet stitch. It uses a tricolor in the design. Purple, pink and pearl.

The baby blanket crochet pattern is made out of Berroco comfort yarn. It’s a machine washable acrylic nylon blend. It’s soft and easy to care for. Perfect for snuggling up.
