Best Colors for Crocheting a Baby Blanket
The color you choose for your baby blanket is very important. You want the baby to use it, so you want to choose a color they and their parents will like. Making a blanket out of a bunch of crazy colors might look good, but it might not be what their parents would really want. You don’t want your blanket to end up hidden in the back of the closet.
If you go to Knit & Crochet @ Jo-Ann.com!, you can find all sorts of yarns and colors.
Caron
Caron’s simply soft yarns are great for baby blankets. They are acrylic yarns so they are cheap, yet they are soft and great for baby blankets. They also come in a large variety of soft colors perfect for baby blankets. I recommend:
Sage Victorian Rose
Soft Blue Light Country Peach
Off White Soft Green
Light Country Blue White
Orchid Bone
Soft Pink
These are all great colors that can go together in different variations well. Caron’s simply soft quick yarn might have some good colors of soft yarn as well.
