Knitting is considered simple and calming activity... Over time, when the drawing is already familiar, the work moves faster. Difficulties arise when you need to knit complex patterns. If needed simple circuit for knitting, then you can do the work only with single crochets, or with one crochet. A bedspread knitted with such a simple pattern can be decorated with toys, crocheted, different animals, for example, bears or other children's decor.
Below are the diagrams and descriptions for the products. The main thing in them is that you can knit any product of the length and width that you need.
Crochet a simple baby blanket
For knitting, an alternation of double crochet and air loops is used. The finished canvas looks like a mesh through which threads of different colors can be threaded. The result is a beautiful and elegant product.
You can also try knit a similar product, but complicate the process a little. For this, colored threads are not threaded into the net, but are knitted. So let's get started. The first row of the mesh is knitted with the main thread, for the second row, colored yarn is used and you need to knit a row with single crochets. Where the threads are connected, the ends do not need to be cut, but on the contrary, leave them longer, so that later it will turn out to tie a brush. In this sequence, the entire blanket is knitted, up to a certain length.
The option using two colors is good because the product can be knitted from the rest of the yarn. The tassels on the product can be made in either one color or colored.
The finished product turns out to be very beautiful, and its density directly depends on the thickness of the threads.
Knitting in a circle
Such a product has the shape of a square, since knits in a circle from the middle... It can be of different sizes, depending on the age of the child and your preferences. For a baby blanket, you can use both single-color threads and multi-colored ones. The finished product, knitted from threads with a gradient effect, looks beautiful. You can independently choose bright threads for such a product, there is only one motive.
The heart is knitted from the middle, in a circle.
The work begins with five air loops connected in a circle. The second row is knitted with double crochets, and two air loops are knitted in future corners. The next row is simple columns above each loop, and in the corners they must be knitted from two air loops of the previous row - three.
The next row is more difficult than the previous ones. For lifting, three air loops are recruited, then three double crochets are knitted from three columns and connected together. Next, two chain loops and the same combination. For corner decoration: two air loops, three double crochets, connected together from one column of the previous row, three air loops and again three double crochets from one loop connected together.
Such a blanket can be knitted from thick threads and put on the floor so that the baby is comfortable playing on the floor.
Openwork
Such a product can be knitted as a gift for a newborn. You need to choose high-quality and soft threads, for baby knitting... Start of work - a chain of air loops, in the amount of one hundred and ninety-six.
The finished product is tied with single crochets, and the next two rows with crochets, not forgetting to make five columns in one loop in the corners.
According to the scheme, the product is knitted to the desired length.

- row: three air loops and a single crochet - this is how you need to knit over seven double crochets. The pattern should be repeated five times over the seven columns of the previous row.
- row: like the second.
You can decorate the finished blanket with an airy ribbon. For her, you need to knit such a row: three single crochet, three air loops, through three loops the base, etc. The roundings are knitted according to the second scheme.
Into the finished product threading the ribbon- the new thing turned out. Every mother loves the happy smile on the face of the child when he sleeps under such a blanket.

Good afternoon friends!
There are now quite a lot of patterns and patterns for knitting children's blankets. But I personally met this one for the first time. A children's crochet blanket for beginners will be especially easy to knit, because a very simple scheme is used here and mind you, no motives! Many will like this fact, I know that not everyone likes to sew motives.
The plaid is made using the fillet technique and is knitted with a whole cloth. The main beauty is given by a delicate blue color, and the slightly openwork pattern looks wonderful.
The choice of yarn for a blanket and calculation
Take rolls of 50 grams / 150 m. They will need about 20 pieces or a little less. It is impossible to say the exact amount, let it be more, and if it remains, you can knit the baby's booties and a hat.
Choose the color of the yarn according to your taste and the gender of the child, for example, delicate pink for girls or blue like this one for boys.
I never recommend a specific crochet number, it should always be matched to the density of your knitting. For the indicated yarn of medium thickness, numbers 1.7 - 2 - 2, 5 may be suitable.
Try using different crochet hooks to determine which looks best.
Children's blankets, depending on the purpose, are knitted in the size of 100x100 or 110x140 cm.
You do not need to calculate the required number of loops according to the sample, then I will tell you how many loops to collect and how to crochet a children's blanket for beginners.
Crochet blanket pattern
In the source I found, the knitting pattern for a baby blanket for beginners turned out to be somewhat incorrect, not corresponding to the pattern of the blanket, I discovered this when I tried to knit a pattern.
Therefore, I made adjustments and drew the diagram myself. I did it for the first time, maybe it didn't work out a little. But this is not the point, the main thing is that the diagram is clear. And it is so simple that any novice needlewoman can figure it out.
Description of crochet baby blanket for beginners
We start knitting a baby blanket with a set of air loops. You need to dial a chain about 100 (110) cm long.
In this case, the number of loops should be a multiple of 30 (the number of loops of one rapport - the repeating part of the pattern) + 4 more loops for the edge of the product.
Now we set aside the begun ball of yarn (the thread does not need to be cut off) and return to the beginning of the knitting of the chain. We attach the thread from another ball and knit the first row with it. When knitting in this way, reaching the end of the row, we will understand how many more loops are required and simply knit the chain to the desired size.
We knit a blanket according to the scheme with columns with one crochet and air loops between them. At the beginning of each row, instead of a column, you need to dial 3 VPs necessary to raise the row.
The first rows will require special care and accurate counting, and then it will be easier to knit.
How to crochet a baby blanket
For beginners, a very convenient and again simple plaid tying scheme is used.
First, we tie the finished blanket with two rows of double crochets. In the corners, to make them even, knit three columns from one loop.
And the last row is somewhat unusual, but interesting option strapping - 3С1Н above each arch and 4 VP between them.
Such an airy border is obtained.
Look at other options, as well as which is great specifically for children's blankets.
There is a need for a thousand little things, often obligatory things that you cannot do without, and sometimes just cute accessories that make caring for your baby more comfortable. Such pleasant things include baby blankets.
A blanket for a newborn can be easily crocheted; a beginner needlewoman, barely familiar with the basics of knitting, can easily cope with this work. After all, a blanket for a baby is just a square 100 by 100 centimeters, where there is complex patterns and numerous calculations.
The length of the side of the plaid can vary from 80 to 120 centimeters. And, of course, a children's blanket does not have to be made in a strictly square shape. It can be made, for example, to the exact size of the baby blanket you are used to.
A baby blanket can be used in a variety of situations - it has more functions than a baby blanket: wrap the baby in a blanket, take it for a walk to cover the baby in, cover the baby in, or use the blanket as a blanket.
Such a knitted thing can be not only very cute, but also practical.
We bring to the attention of the craftswomen two blankets for newborns: quite simple, but dense and practical, and a more refined blanket, with a more complex pattern, but no less soft and comfortable.
For yellow ( photo 1) or striped ( photo 2) of a blanket measuring 80 by 100 centimeters, you will need 350-500 grams of yarn, depending on the quality and thickness of the thread.
Crochet number 3.5, tie the initial chain in 145 stitches. You may need 160 or 140 stitches for your yarn and crochet. To find out exactly how many loops are needed in the initial chain, and how much yarn is needed for the entire product, you need to knit a sample of about 12 by 12 centimeters.
So you can make calculations for the entire blanket. Do not be lazy to make an obsession and make simple calculations - this is much faster than getting the “wrong” in the end and dissolving an almost finished product. At the same time, familiarize yourself with the pattern, and find out the nuances of the transition between the rows - this is the only way the finished product will turn out to be perfect and will be of the right size.
The first row is knitted as follows: 1 double crochet in the 3rd loop from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each loop of the chain to the end of the row. Turn the job.
Second row and all subsequent ones: 2 air loops to raise the row and again to the end of the row, double crochets.
It is not at all necessary to make the blanket plain, you can alternate narrow or wide stripes, changing the color of the yarn every 2-8 rows. If you alternate two colors, then the thread can be pulled along the edge of the blanket. This will give extra stiffness to the edge of the blanket. If you are using a variety of colors, then it is better to fix and cut the thread. Tie the edge of the finished plaid with a row of single crochet stitches, and then with a "crustacean step", when the single crochet stitches are knitted from left to right, as if "backing" back. At first, knitting with such a move is unusual, but the result is worth it: the edge is tight, does not stretch and looks great. Do not forget to carefully fasten the threads and hide their ends, because the durability and appearance of the product depend on this.
Crocheted items can always be decorated with contrasting silk ribbons by passing the ribbon with a "dotted line" along a row of double crochets. Decorating with ribbons is not only relevant among needlewomen, but also looks very gentle on children's things.
Remember where you started your knitting career? Right. With a blanket for a doll. Now the doll is alive, and she needs a bigger blanket.
This blanket is made with a more intricate knit, but looks very sophisticated while remaining thick and warm. When knitting a blanket with leaves, you can alternate from two to five colors of yarn - the thing will come out impressive.
Below is a selection step by step photos and the only verbal description on the Internet of the pattern that the plaid is connected with. The blanket is double-sided.
The number of loops for this pattern must be a multiple of eight. For a pattern, you can knit a chain of 48 or 64 loops. Next, to raise the row, we knit 2 air loops, in the next 3 loops we knit 1 column with a crochet, we skip one loop of the chain, while making one air loop, and in the next 7 loops of the chain we knit 7 double crochets. Again, we skip one loop of the chain, instead we make an air loop, and then 7 columns with crochets in a row. And so we repeat to the end of the row. ( photo 3)
In the 2nd row, we need to leave already 3 yarns (cells), into which we will then knit a leaf of a contrasting color. To do this, we knit 2 air loops for raising the row, immediately skip the loop and knit 1 double crochet into the next one, 1 air loop, 1 double crochet through the loop, 1 air loop, 3 rows with crochets in each loop of the previous row. Then we knit to the end of the row: 1 air, 1 double crochet through 1 loop of the first row, 1 air, 1 double crochet through 1 loop, 1 air, 3 double crochets in a row in each loop. ( photo 4)
The 3rd row is extremely simple: we need to knit a row of double crochets through one loop of the 2nd row, dividing them with air loops. That is, 2 air loops for lifting, 1 double crochet, 1 air, 1 double crochet through 1 loop of the 2nd row - and so we alternate until the end of the row. Make sure that the columns are obtained strictly one above the other. We do not need a "checkerboard", but a clear geometric blank for knitting a leaf with contrasting yarn. ( photo 5)
Now is the time to change the color of the yarn. Rows 4 through 7 are knitted with yarn of a different color.
The 4th row is the most complex and painstaking of the entire pattern. 2 air loops for raising a row, 3 columns with crochets in the loops of the 3rd row and knit the leaf itself. Before us is a triangle of cells formed by the air loops of the previous rows. We will use five cells along the perimeter of this triangle for the leaf, two cells in the center (in the 2nd and 3rd rows) will remain unused, they will be covered by the middle of the leaf.
From each cell of the triangle, we will have to pull out the thread twice so that the leaf turns out to be convex and soft. You can try to pull out one loop from each cell - this is easier, but the pattern will be flat. We crochet the thread from the first cell of the 3rd row and (attention!) Make a yarn over the hook.
It is impossible to pull the loop out of the same cell twice if you do not fasten the thread - the yarn on the hook will act as such a fastener. Alternatively, a half-knitted loop or half-column is allowed, when the loop pulled out of the cell is not completely knitted, leaving the very first thread of the loop unused on the hook. ( photo 6)
After that, we dive for the thread into the same cell for the second time. We pull the threads to the desired length, monitoring the uniformity of the tension. We carry out the same sequence of operations with cells of the 2nd, 1st, and again the 2nd and 3rd rows. Only five rays of the leaf should turn out. If the yarn is multi-layered, you can pull one loop from each cell - then there is no need for an intermediate yarn or a half-knit loop.
You now have a lot of loose stitches on your hook ( photo 7). Gently and slowly pull the thread through all the loops at once, pulling the base of the leaf. ( photo 8) Knit 3 stitches with crochets in the loops of the 3rd row - and again proceed to the leaflet.
We continue to knit the next three rows with the same yarn, completely repeating the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rows described above. Then we change the yarn and knit the next row of leaves. ( photo 9)
With the correct performance of mating with a good selection colors you will get an incredibly beautiful and practical blanket that will delight your baby and you for several years. ( photo 10)
Both of the described products are dense blankets that will remain "in shape" for a long time and will not deteriorate after the first wash, which often happens with delicate delicate things.
Crochet baby blankets are sometimes not so difficult to knit, as it is difficult to choose a good pattern and plot of a blanket, so that it is exactly a child's thing that the child will love for many years, and at the same time the blanket should be warm, soft, and suitable for the interior of the children's room ... In today's selection you will find best ideas original children's blankets that can be crocheted!
The easiest way (and, by the way, probably the fastest) to knit an interesting blanket for a baby is to take an unusual yarn, for example, Pompom yarn. It is perfect even for crumbs, because this yarn is soft and warm.
The next most popular way is to choose an unusual pattern 🙂 The “zigzag” pattern is excellent for a large canvas, plus it allows you to “play” with color.
A very cool way to knit a blanket from motifs is to present each monochromatic motif in the form of a “pixel”, and make some simple drawing out of such “pixels”. The plan of the future blanket can be made literally on a notebook sheet, count the number of squares of each color, and connect the motives in accordance with this scheme.
blankets with a "pixel" pattern of monochromatic square motifs
Another rather simple but cute way to decorate a blanket and give it personality is with appliqués. It can be some kind of plot pieces, like animals, boats, hearts, flowers, etc., or just bright pompons.
If you have time to "get confused", you can choose a very non-standard solution - a canvas made of strips formed by rings, sequentially knitted with a "chain". Due to the fact that the rings can vary in color, it will turn out very bright and unusual.
To create colored rows, you can do it even easier - knit a blanket with a tulip pattern, which, by the way, is suitable both for large canvases and for decorating the edge on a plain girl's blouse, for example.
There are other ways of knitting a pattern in rows, for example, such "convex" patterns (I would call them 3D). It is rather dreary to knit them, but the result is simply amazing, and the choice is large - bees, butterflies, roses, as well as, for example, formed in the course of work - are beautiful not only for their appearance, but also by the fact that they will never fall off, like sew-on elements.
If you knit a blanket for a girl, then in your arsenal there are hundreds of thousands of patterns with flowers and flowers!
Any symmetrical flower motif based on a square or polygon is suitable as a motif. If the motive itself is simple, then the correctly selected colors will "draw" the flowers, and the convex flowers will look like in a clearing!
The bulges can be not only from flowers, but also just "bumps" look very cool, and besides, due to such a pattern, the plaid will be thicker and warmer.
bright plaid with a "knobby" pattern
By the way, if you impose multi-colored motifs with bumps, you can simulate Lego pieces, boys will especially like this blanket 🙂 In general, experiment with motives, connection order and plot. A blanket knitted from completely different non-repeating square motifs can become not only a warm accessory, but also a developing rug, the kid will study such a blanket with great interest!
Blankets with geometric patterns they do not always seem too childish, however, oddly enough, they grab the attention of even the smallest crumbs, due to contrasting colors.
Each blanket has its own "trick". You can show all the beauty with your “face”, or you can decorate a plain blanket and at the same time insulate it with an interesting lining from the inside.
Probably the cutest baby blankets are blankets with animals. And there are also many ways. However, nevertheless, most of them are crocheting a blanket from motifs, but the variants of these motifs are millen))). For example, bunny motives 🙂
The most popular motives are bears, owlets and bunnies, but in fact, the list does not end there - you can knit piglets, foxes, and frogs, and raccoons and hippos))) it is also enough to knit snowmen, for example, for a New Year's plaid ...
And some more blankets with animalistic motives:
Animals on motives can also be knitted in a jacquard fashion. Well, besides animals, you can imitate natural scenes simply by combining motives of certain colors. In this way, you can imitate a honeycomb, turtle shell, fish scales, etc.
For the bravest, you can knit a blanket in the form of one huge motive with a jacquard pattern)))
Good luck in knitting, and a lot of new warm, cozy, bright, beautiful and unusual blankets for your kids! 🙂
