When making a baby blanket, the choice of yarn is particularly important. Opt for soft, hypoallergenic yarns to ensure the blanket is gentle against a baby’s delicate skin. Cotton yarn is a great choice for its softness and breathability, making it perfect for warmer climates or seasons. For cooler weather, consider using soft wool or acrylic yarn that provides extra warmth and coziness. Remember to check that the yarn is machine washable, as baby blankets will need frequent cleaning.

When you gift a handmade crochet baby blanket, you’re giving more than just a blanket – you’re sharing your time, effort, and love.
