Quilt Baby Patterns And Crochet Baby Blanket

By Darren Hartley


Having his own quilt or blanket is a privilege every baby deserves. Made from baby quilt patterns, it is great to be taken with the baby as he goes travelling or visiting another house. It can double up as a blanket and as a clean rug where he can lie or crawl around on.

A baby quilt should always be made of natural fibres and of course, traditional baby quilt patterns, as a general rule. Because they contain less irritants and chemicals, 100% cotton is an ideal fabric. These chemicals can potentially annoy or aggravate the sensitive skin of a baby.

Color and baby quilt patterns are the primary factors in a baby quilt design. A quilt for the bassinet would presuppose the use of lovely traditional baby patterns and colors. A quilt for the crib would require the consideration of a pattern and color that the baby will enjoy throughout his childhood.

A crochet baby blanket can become a showstopper with the use of a multicoloured skein of yarn. The first step in crocheting in technicolor is finding the perfect pattern for variegated yarn. This step can go either way. It can be hard and give a what-do-i-make-now moment to the prospective crafter. It can be made easy by following a few simple tips in finding the appropriate yarn muse.

Using variegated yarn for a crochet baby blanket allows the addition of color interest without venturing into actual color work. It provides the freedom to work on many colors without having to weave in more ends than is necessary.

Knowing the possible color change in a multicoloured yarn will make managing color changes in the making of a crochet baby blanket easier. A yarn with moderate length color changes can cause pooling in a project. Pooling is when spots of the same color keep showing up in a certain section of the work, producing uneven and splotchy colors.
