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.

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

It’s made with the crochet ripple stitch; a textural and elegant crochet stitch.
