10 FREE Crochet Patterns For Babies

A collection of 10 amazing free baby crochet pattern ideas for new baby or mom to be.

Choose from various baby items to crochet like baby blankets, booties and a hat.

I have included baby crochet clothes patterns too – sweater, cardigan and a hooded vest pattern.

Meadowside Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

Crochet baby blankets are such a great make. They are quick to crochet and a thoughtful handmade gift.

I used crochet to achieve a woven look crochet blanket.

Firstly, I used moss (linen) stitch for the main body of the blanket. Undoubtedly, this is a great stitch for this project as it is not too open for little fingers to get stuck into.

On the other hand, it has enough chain spaces to show of the strands of fabric woven through the crochet baby blanket.

The strands are worked into the blanket as you crochet. There is no additional fiddling with yarn needle threading the strands through.

Check out the tutorial and baby crochet blanket pattern – Woven Crochet Baby Blanket.

Theo Bunny Toy

This is the easiest amigurumi toy you will make- no sew crochet bunny Theo. You work in one continuous piece with no need to sew parts together.

Theo is a special little cuddly toy I made for my second born son. He likes to grab and carry him by his big long ear with his little feet dragging on the floor.

I have designed this sweet crochet ripple blanket with beginner crocheter in mind. Sometimes creating a crochet ripple can be quite complicated.

You need to incorporate increases and decreases throughout the row. However, with this easy pattern you can crochet a ripple blanket using just a few basic stitches.

Cole’s Sweater

This is a free raglan style crochet sweater for kids. The pattern comes in four sizes for 6, 12, 18 and 24 months old kids.

I have used the top down technique for this crochet sweater for kids. I have used foundation single crochet instead of a standard starting chain.

This allows for a lovely stretch of the neckline and does not pull.

The other thing is the neck split opening. I worked the start in rows which creates the opening.

The neck split opening makes the hole to push your head through much wider. Therefore easier to put on and take off.

Blue Lagoon Baby Hat Crochet Pattern

I have created this hat when we were expecting our second baby. It was quite a while ago as Cole is now a toddler.

The finished hat I made came out 3-6 month size as I have made a few newborn hats already so I wanted to make a bigger size. The instructions include 0-3 months size too.

I have written the pattern for 0-3 months and 3-6 months sizes as these 2 sizes are achievable from 1 hank of the yarn I used.
