How Do You Crochet A Snuggle Blanket?
Crocheted baby gifts add a personalized touch to any baby shower or christening. When you crochet an item for that baby, you put your love into the item along with your talent. One popular gift item for new babies is a snuggle blanket—a smaller blanket the baby can hold onto for a comfort object, often with loops on the ends to attach teether toys to the blanket. You can crochet a snuggle blanket in only a few hours’ time, and the baby and his parents will appreciate it for years. Choose your materials. For a baby item, use a machine-washable yarn to make it easier on the parents. Most baby yarns fall into this category, as do acrylics, superwash wools and cottons. Some babies have sensitive skin, so cotton or acrylic will less likely irritate them than wool. For this project, use worsted-weight yarn and a size US J crochet hook; if you want to alter the yarn you use, you will also need to change the size of your hook and add or subtract stitches to get the same size.
