The Softest Baby Blanket You’ll Ever Crochet


So, last week I was on vacation.  What did I do on vacation?  Crochet a baby blanket, of course!  Yes, I know it sounds like a very exciting vacation activity, doesn’t it?  Well, that’s not all I did while on vacation.  I promise you I did have a lot of fun in sunny Orlando, Florida last week!

I like to save up my bigger crochet projects like this one for trips because it keeps me calm while my husband drives. Yes, it’s true.  He keeps his eyes on the road, and I keep mine on the blanket.  It just works best for us that way. I don’t realize how fast he’s driving, and I get a gift made!

Crochet Softest Baby Blanket

This baby blanket pattern I’m sharing with you is the best one in the world if you ask me.  It is hands down the softest, most cuddly baby blanket ever!  If you haven’t discovered Red Heart’s Buttercup Yarn yet, it’s time I introduced you. Red Heart describes it as “pom- poms of color blended with a fleecy yarn.”  There are 16 colors to choose from.  You can find out more information at Red Heart’s website.

Softest Crochet Baby Blanket

I actually stumbled across this pattern by accident.  A friend was learning to crochet but didn’t like it, so she gave me the yarn she didn’t want.  There were 8 balls of this yarn in Teddy Bear, this pattern was on the label, and a friend was expecting a boy.  Bingo!  I gave the pattern a try, and immediately fell in love with the result.  I have made many of these, and they are always appreciated!

Doesn’t this make a beautiful blanket?  I wish you could touch and feel how soft it is!

    Thanks for linking up at Two Uses Tuesday! Crocheting is a craft I’d like to pursue but I need to get a longer attention span first… The blanket is just beautiful

        I love, love the 1st blanket at the top! It’s the one using the blue and green speckled Buttercup yarn with the solid white stripes. How many rows of each color did you use to get the stripes? Did you use the same crochet pattern as the one you listed here? Thank you for your help!! You do beautiful work! -Anita

          Thanks, Anita. I’m glad you like it! I did use the same pattern by Red Heart for all of the blankets pictured. The pattern calls for 8 balls of yarn. I usually pick out 8 balls that I like, sometimes two different colors, 4 balls each. Sometimes I use 6 in one color and 2 of another, alternating them evenly. It really depends on what’s available at the store when I go. I hope this helps!

    Hi Christie,
    I was going to make a baby blanket using Buttercup yarn until I saw the care instructions. I wasn’t sure a new mother would want to hand wash a baby blanket. Did you ever throw one in the washing machine?

      Hi Judy,

      I’ve never had any complaints on this blanket and even had one person request me to make another for them to give as a gift because they loved it so much. You could always put it on a gentle cycle and I’m sure it would do fine.

      Thanks for looking,
      Christie

      Hi Theresa, I purchased those from my local Michael’s craft store. I think you may be able to find them at Joann’s and Hobby Lobby, too. Good luck!
