Knitting patterns for baby blankets

Is there a little one on the way in the family? And do you want to give a personalized gift to the mother and child that can last for many years? Then a home-knitted baby blanket is just the thing.

Knitting a baby blanket or swaddle is a delightful and cozy project, which is also much more manageable to knit than a blanket for adults. At the same time, you can knit a wide range of different baby blankets, and there will be plenty of opportunity to put your personal touch.

Get started easily and quickly with your home-knitted baby blanket, stroller blanket, or swaddle with one of our free patterns.

When knitting a baby blanket, you can choose to simply knit in English rib and in one colour. This is a manageable project that is perfect for beginners. When knitting such a blanket, you can also relax on the couch and watch TV. You can also choose to knit a blanket with a pattern and a lot of colours and experiment with different techniques.

We offer a wide range of free patterns for knitted baby blankets. Here you can seek inspiration for how your knitted baby blanket should look. You can also choose one of the patterns and knit according to the specified pattern. There are many different patterns and techniques that you can knit a baby blanket in. For example, choose to knit a blanket with lace pattern, leaf pattern, cables, garter stitch or wave pattern.

There are also a wide range of different yarns that you can knit a baby blanket in. Here you can choose a yarn that consists of soft wool, merino wool, alpaca, or a blend where cotton can also be included. It may be practical to consider whether the yarn should be machine washable. This is especially an advantage if the baby blanket you want to knit should be used frequently and daily and therefore needs to be washed often.

We have a wide range of yarns that are perfect for baby blankets. Our most popular is DROPS Baby Merino, which is spun from extra fine merino wool fibers. The yarn is especially suitable for delicate baby skin and can even be machine washed, making it perfect for daily use.

When you get started with your home-knitted blanket, it is important that you knit with the right knitting needles. We have a large selection of both circular needles and single pointed needles in different sizes and materials. Here you can explore and find just the needles that suit you best.

If you prefer to crochet a baby blanket instead of knitting it, we also have a wide range of free crochet patterns that you can explore. Here you can try your hand at double crochet stitches, single crochet stitches, lace patterns, and granny squares.
