Beautiful Baby Blankets
I can’t decide which I love more, crochet baby loveys or baby blankets! If you are looking for more gorgeous crochet baby blanket patterns, check out my full blog post with 12 unique baby blankets to choose from!
My Heart & Soul crochet baby blanket was my very first crochet pattern I ever sold and it will always hold a special place in my heart. I love using Red Heart’s ombre yarn and this border was such a joy to create!
Another amazing use of Red Heart’s ombre yarn is with this sedge stitch from Crochet 365 Knit Too! Makes me feel like I’m sitting on the beach watching the beautiful blue waves!
I’m about to stir the pot a little… but I think Caron’s ombre yarn might have stolen my ombre-loving heart! This Sunset Shore crochet shell stitch baby blanket is super quick and easy to whip up!
I love seeing how people use granny-square-style crochet clusters in non-granny-square projects! This fun striped baby blanket from Domi Knits Creations is such a great crochet baby shower gift!
Sometimes, I can’t decide what square I love most, so I just do all of them! My Over the Rainbow crochet baby blanket is filled with such life and color that I just can’t stop smiling when I see it!
There is no better feeling than the waffle stitch texture… Sirin’s Crochet baby blanket is such an amazing crochet baby shower gift idea! Perfect for an easy project over the weekend!
Baby Joe’s Blanket of Many Colors was my first time working with Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes and it was MAGICAL! This moss stitch baby blanket is super quick and easy to make and oh so fun to look at!
Lovely Little Loveys
If you know anything about me, you know it is no surprise that I had to make an entire category for just baby loveys! As someone who has seen so many little kids cuddle up and play with their loveys for years and years, I can’t emphasize enough how much these little creatures mean to a little baby.
If you haven’t heard of the mischief that Darrel the Duck Lovey has gotten into, make sure to read about in my blog post here. Shenanigans aside, this is the perfect springtime crochet baby shower gift for any little one!
I am in love with these little crochet bobbles on Wool Bird‘s crochet bunny lovey! These ears are also VERY adorable!
This penguin lovey from Yarn Wave Shop is SO CUTE! Who else wants to just cuddle with this little guy?
I just gifted my Bailee the Bunny lovey to my 10mo niece and she absolutely adores it! Her hands are just the right size to hold onto Bailee’s little arms!
Another beautiful baby lovey from Yarn Wave Shop! Anyone else know lots of unicorn-obsessed little kiddos in their life? I know I do!
Ah… Miles the Moose… the one that started it all. This little guy was such fun to make and would make the perfect crochet baby shower gift for any of those fall, winter, or northern babies!
I thought this little bunny snuggler was such a fun take on the traditional crochet lovey! If you check out Crochet 365 Knit Too‘s post, she promises many more animal snugglers and I am eagerly awaiting their release!
Have you ever thought about using granny squares or any variation of square for a lovey? Crochet Oasis did and it is stunning! These flowery squares go perfectly with the flowers on the kitten… too cute!
Tiny Tinker Toys
My husband loves the idea of us making ALL of our future children’s toys, and if I’m going to get anywhere near “ALL,” I better start finding some cute and fun ideas now!
I’ve always been a fan of stacking toys for little kids, but this fruit-themed one from Pinky Pinky Blue AU is the cutest one I’ve ever seen! I just want to reach into that photo and put that little strawberry on top!
I’ve seen so many cute crochet rattles, but these little guys from Crochet Club Store Co have the cutest little faces! This pattern also comes with a bunny and llama rattle pattern!
Has anyone else spend way too much time playing with these kind of toys? This infinity cube from Svetla Art Crochet is genius!
How fun are these little guys? This pattern from Yarn Wave Shop also comes with a toucan, hamster, and seahorse! Make sure to check all of them out!
I have never seen anything like this in the crochet world! Crocheting Hive has created a memory game out of crochet turtles! My husband is obsessed with turtles so this is a must make for me!
Lastly, I just love all the cute crochet rattles out there! This little catterpiller from Dudefsworld is so cute and simplistic!
Wonderful Wearables
Aren’t baby clothes just the cutest thing? I love just sneaking by the baby clothes aisle when I’m out shopping just to see what they have, but there is something so wonderful about handmade crochet baby clothes that make them extra adorable!
Rompers & Dresses
I love this sunflower on Baby Crochet Designs UK‘s crochet baby romper! It looks similar to the sunburst granny square that I used on my crochet steering wheel pattern. Too cute!
How fun are these ruffles! Any little baby is going to be the star of the show in this crochet dress from Babes in the Wool Design!
How simple and classic is this dress and bonnet combo? Babes in the Wool Design makes good use of the shell stitch in this beautiful feminine crochet baby shower gift idea!
For some reason, I imagine the baby that wears this to be an adorable little sailor who sails the seas in search of cuddles! Baby Crochet Design Co has really outdone themselves!
Sweaters
How stinkin’ cute would it be to have a baby boy rocking this crochet sweater for a family photo? This crochet baby shower gift idea from Crochet Baby Boutique is so fun and stylish!
If you are looking for something less complex, this sweater form Baby Crochet Designs UK is perfect for an easy baby gift!
Hats & Beanies
I’ve already mentioned this baby hat from Croby Patterns in my winter hat crochet patterns post, but I think it should be mentioned again! This pattern is great for beginners and easy to follow!
If you want a slight twist (pun intended) to Croby Pattern’s hat above, this one from Baby Crochet Design Co is also super fun and easy to make! Both are perfect last minute crochet baby shower gifts when you’re in a pinch!
Shoes & Booties
What baby girl doesn’t want to be a ballerina? These crochet baby ballet shoes from Two Girls Patterns are absolutely adorable and I am OBSESSED with those little flowers!
Need something a bit more bohemian and beachy? Two Girls Patterns nails it again with these oh so cute crochet baby sandals! I am in love!
Perfect for Preemies
While all of the previous crochet baby shower gift ideas were amazing, not all of them really work for preemie (pre-mature) babies. Preemies are smaller and need extra care, which is why I wanted to give some special options just for them!
This crochet preemie octopus is perfect for little babies in the NICU to avoid them pulling on their cords! I love making these to use of my yarn scraps and donating them to my local hospital!
These crochet beanies from Crochet 365 Knit Too are the perfect size for preemie babies! Another great way to use up scrap yarn and show some love towards those extra little babies in your life!
Anybody know a rainbow baby? What better way to celebrate the gift of life than with these beautiful rainbow booties and hat from Baby Crochet Designs Co!
This crochet bear hoodie sweater pattern from Baby Crochet Designs Co not only comes in preemie size, but all the way up to 12 months!
Lastly, here is another beautiful rainbow sweater from Baby Crochet Designs UK! This sweater also comes in sizes up to 12 months.
