An Everyday Parent’s Advice for Buying the Perfect Baby Blanket – You don’t always have to buy the perfect baby blanket – Handmade, crocheted blankets are my all-time favorite

Of all the baby blankets I’ve owned, I would have to say my overall favorites are crocheted blankets.  I’ve never made one myself, but I’ve received many as gifts.

I love that crocheted baby blankets are:

1) handmade by special people (a great heirloom for you or your child)

2) breathable (The natural holes from crocheting make the blanket breathable, as well as the often used cotton yarn.  However, if the crochet pattern is too loose, little fingers and toes can get stuck in the blanket.)

3) great for use as a blanket or for decorating (I love the look of crocheted blankets and often drape them over the crib or hang them on the wall)

4) unique (Since no two handmade blankets are exactly alike, they are always unique.  I have several made with unique colors or patterns.  The yarn used may also have a unique texture or be made from an organic yarn like wool or organic cotton.)

I am a photographer and one of the crocheted baby blankets I own is featured in a picture in my portfolio.  You can view it on my website.  Just follow this link to the Hezlep Photography site.
