Crochet Baby Blanket Patterns for Newborns

Crochet baby blankets for newborns include loveys around 12 inches square, stroller blankets around 30 × 35 inches, and receiving blankets around 36 inches square. Soft, machine-washable yarn is essential, and dense stitches without large holes are safest for tiny fingers. Many parents keep a handmade baby blanket as an heirloom.
