These past few weeks I’ve been extremely busy creating all sorts of gifts… I made three blankets for my close friend’s baby shower. They are warm and cozy fleece blankets with a crocheted trim. I loved the technique so much, that I wanted to make more. And since April is raining babies, I finished these just in time for another friend of mine who is due tomorrow.
Trio of Baby Blankets
To create these blankets, I used a skip-stitch blade on my rotary cutter. I ran the blade along the edges to create holes to base my crochet trim. The trim on the green blanket has a round of single stitch and a round of half-double crochet. The trim on the blue blanket was made by two rounds of single stitches and then a round of double crochet. The cream blanket has a round of single stitch and the two rounds of half double crochet.
The perfect cozy wrap for snuggling a new baby…

That rotary cutter sounds awesome. I need to get myself one of those. I have a different kit for making holes for crocheting, which thoroughly annoys me.
I love using it! I used to use a seam ripper to do the same job, tedious!
Once again, they’re lovely!
Thank you Elle!
There are a lot of babies arriving this May in my life. I really need to learn how to do all these things.
You should try some blankets!
Aww, I adore homemade gifts for baby’s. I think they are beautiful and always come from the heart. Wonderful post.
Thanks! ❤
They look nice and cosy and I like the colours!
