Discover quick and delightful crochet baby blanket projects perfect for last-minute baby shower gifts or to cherish as you await your little one's arrival. Explore our roundup of 15 vibrant, sweet, and gender-neutral blankets, ideal for personal keepsakes or meaningful donations to shelters and hospitals.

Today, we’re discussing one of my favorite projects: crochet baby blankets.

They’re quick and usually beginner-friendly. If you don’t have a baby, they can easily be lapghans or blankets for toddlers or younger children.

They’re much more versatile than they seem and take much less time than a regular blanket. 

Let’s say you have a last-minute baby shower, or you only have a few weeks until your own little one arrives. I have a perfect solution: baby blankets that take less than 24 hours, with most clocking in in under 7 hours (which is nothing regarding crochet projects).

Today, we're bringing you a roundup of 15 baby blankets for last-minute baby shower gifts or as a delightful project to keep your hands busy while eagerly awaiting your little one.

With vibrant colors for baby boys, sweet shades for baby girls, and a selection of gender-neutral options for those delightful surprises, these blankets are not only a joy to make for your own kiddo but also make wonderful donation items for shelters or hospitals in need of a touch of handmade warmth.

Let’s get started!
