Weekly Theme-Baby Gifts

There is something about babies that makes me want to knit and crochet. Once people know that you knit and crochet it seems like they want something for their new babies too! Baby gifts are fun to make because they are small quick projects.

When you don’t know the gender of the new baby a blanket is always a great choice. Make it in gray or yellow for a great neutral option. Grab one of these 10 FREE baby gift knit and crochet patterns to make for the next new baby in your life.
