I originally designed this pattern back in 2014 and it only included one baby size, but in it’s recent update (2020), it has received a new name, and 6 more sizes including two photography blanket sizes, newborn, toddler, child, lapghan and throw.

Materials:

  • 39 (144, 316, 451, 554, 728, 1309) Yards of Super Bulky Yarn – I used Bernat Blanket Yarn in Orchid Dusk
  • M13/9mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends

Time Spent:
This newborn blanket took me just over 2 hours, 15 minutes to complete.

Sizes:
Newborn Photography Layering Blanket, Newborn Photography Blanket, Newborn Blanket, Toddler, Child, Lapghan and Throw.

While the newborn photography blanket is sized similarly to preemie blanket guidelines, I do not recommend a blanket made from Bernat Blanket Yarn for a preemie because it is too heavy for them, and they can become overheated easily.

The first two sizes are meant to be newborn photography photo props. Typically, the base is the blanket, and then the layering blanket is laid in a different direction on top, and then baby. Sometimes the newborn size is also used in photography.

Abbreviations (US Terms):

  • HDC - Half Double Crochet
  • DC - Double Crochet
