I want to make a baby blanket for my unborn niece. Where can I find ideas?
Published September 18, 2009 | 
My mother in law makes really neat blankets and I’ve asked her for ideas for my project. While I do appreciate her motives, I wanted to make the blanket myself (she insisted she just make it for me).
I would love some links showing me some neutral baby blanket ideas. My friend is waiting until birth to find out the sex of the baby.
Oh, and yes, I will have access to my mother in law’s sewing machine.
I’m not sure if you’re looking for sewing, knitting or crochet, but if you check out www.favecrafts.com you can look under any of those sections at the baby stuff. There are really neat baby blankets under knitting and crochet. Good luck!
Visit a local fabric store and walk the aisles of fabric for one you like. Then look at wide ribbon for an edging.
Do you knit or crochet? If you learn one or the other you could make a baby afghan that way instead.

Try Michael’s or Joanne’s for pattern books.

Here are some free patterns. If you want you could make it in greens or yellows instead of pink and blue. Or anything you want really.
