Crochet Spiderweb Baby Blanket

A classic handmade baby gift is a crocheted blanket. This simple pattern for a spiderweb crochet baby blanket comes together quickly and can be easily expanded to a larger size if desired!

For the last 20 years I'e made this exactly same crochet blanket for every new baby in my family and friends circle.

In different colors, depending on the gender or room theme... but always the same simple crochet pattern!

With long stretches of "webbing" this blanket is very fast to crochet, even for new crocheters!

Here are a few of the versions I've made in the past!

While not the best photography, this was real life and long before this blog was around!

Now, I generally try to keep a cream one on hand, just in case I need a last minute gift and I'm not able to make one in a custom color. Though, I've never actually had to use it (yet) and instead just use it when I was going to make a cream one anyway. ;-)

I had a cream one in the works when my oldest son was born, but just never could finish it... something about the cobbler children never having shoes...

So, when he was 4 I asked if he'd like me to make him a handmade crochet blanket for his new big boy bed. He said yes, and then got to pic the yarn himself!

It was a very sweet project and he asked me every day while I was making it if it was finished yet. He couldn't wait to cuddle it!

Here's a picture of him with the blanket once it was finished. Precious!

Fast forward two years and he still sleeps with it every night, and uses it during movie nights, or any time he's cuddled up on the couch. I love it!

Crochet Spiderweb Baby Blanket Pattern

This free crochet baby blanket pattern is gender neutral and can be made for a boy or a girl - just change the color of the yarn! A quick and easy pattern, this is the perfect crochet pattern for beginner level crocheters.

Description:

Single and triple crochet stitches, together with double crochet and chain loops, work to create a delicate spiderweb blanket in this light and airy crochet pattern. A fast crochet pattern due to the large open spaces, this blanket can be made in any color using worsted weight or sports weight yarn

You will need:

  • US Size H crochet hook
  • 5 skeins worsted weight yarn (I used “I Love This Yarn” in mint green from Hobby Lobby”)
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry Needle (to weave in the ends)
  • Stitch Marker (to mark right side of work)

Size:

Finished size as written is 35 inches wide by 52 inches long. However, you can make it wider by repeating the pattern. To increase the width, repeat rows 3-13, then rows 3 and 4 once more.

Gauge:

16 dc and 10 rows = 4"

Abbreviations & Skills:

ch = Chain number of stitches indicated (ch 1, ch 3...)

sc = Single Crochet

dc = Double Crochet

tr = Triple Crochet
