Beneficent Bella Crochet Baby Blanket
My friends, meet a thing of beauty: The Beneficent Bella Crochet Baby Blanket. The word ‘delicious’ comes to mind. The texture. The color. Sigh. AND it’s easy. What more is there to love?
This might be the easiest baby blanket to crochet. It’s almost hard to believe that something this beautiful could be so easy and so inexpensive to make. Pick up 2 skeins of worsted weight Red Heart Ombre yarn (this one is in Anemone color). Grab a 6.0 mm (J) hook and the easiest pattern ever and you’re on your way to crochet nirvana–or mindlessly crocheting while watching Netflix. I can’t even. I’m in heaven.
Let’s talk about the name of this sweet crochet baby blanket. A few years ago my teenage nieces and I cooked up a brilliant idea. I would design a pattern and supply them with yarn and they would crochet baby blankets to donate. They get service hours–and more importantly (in their words) FREE YARN. And I get an extra set of hands or two for more projects on the blog! Seriously. We all felt like winners here.
This particular little beauty was crocheted by my niece, Arabella. Because I like catchy little names for crochet numbers here, I liked the words “Bella Baby Blanket” but apparently I’m not the first to have this brilliant idea. So on the quest for “B’ adjectives, I found the word “Beneficent” which means ‘generous, or doing good’ and it fit so perfectly that I HAD to use it. Even if none of us will remember how to spell it!
But there you go: The Beneficent Bella Crochet Baby Blanket. A mouthful of beautiful crochet goodness you can’t wait to sink your hook into! And I’m telling you, this sweet blanket is just so squishy and full of texture, you’re going to love making it!
