Granny Square Crochet Baby Blanket Patterns
If you’ve ever started to crochet an afghan and then given up because of the sheer size of it you’re going to love today’s collection.
These granny square crochet baby blanket patterns are GORGEOUS but they also come together way more quickly than a full sized afghan.
So whether you’re expecting and want to make something beautiful for your own baby, or you have a pregnant friend and you want to make her a thoughtful baby shower gift these blanket patterns are just what you need!
Don’t forget that once you find a granny square design you like you don’t have to just make a baby blanket with it. You could keep going for a full sized afghan, or make a pillow cover or even a storage bag for the nursery!
1 | Granny Square Baby Blanket
Let’s kick off with a giant granny square baby blanket. This isn’t lots of little squares joined together, just one that you grow and grow until you get to the size you want. I love how Stephanie picked out her yarn colors to match her diaper bag!

2 | Victorian Flower Baby Blanket
This blanket is beautiful, and romantic, and has a vintage feel to it. The Victorian flowers in each square are just precious.
This is an intermediate level pattern, but the the tutorial has 100 photos to help guide you through making it.
If you want to crochet a baby blanket for a christening or a baptism then this would be the perfect choice.

There isn’t a pattern to go with this blanket since it’s just a basic granny square, but there are some good tips on how to plan out your colors so that you don’t have a regimented pattern.

4 | Starry Sun Blanket
I can’t decide what I love most about this baby blanket; the beautiful starburst sun pattern in the granny squares or the striped edging! This one is definitely vintage style with a modern twist and just perfect for a summer baby!

5 | Mitered Granny Square Blanket
For an unusual design try this blanket which uses mitered granny squares. I’ve never seen anything like this before and it’s very modern and geometric!

6 | Red White and Blue Granny Square Blanket
I love the color combination used in this “circle in a square” crochet pattern. Work it up in cotton and it’s a fabulous choice for a summer baby. It feels gender neutral too so a good choice if you don’t know if the baby is a boy or a girl.
