I am always excited
when friends or relatives announce a new addition to their family. I
love the exhilaration in their voices and the glow in their faces. I
feel my own thrill of anticipation as I contemplate the perfect
crocheted baby gift. There are so many options: booties, bibs, sweaters, or an adorable amigurumi. Here are a few of my favorites from Robyn Chachula's Baby Blueprint Crochet.

Every new parent will
appreciate a fashionable and functional bib and burp cloth. The single
crochet spike and woven stitch patterns create a wonderfully soft and
thick fabric, gentle against a baby's delicate skin. Brightly colored DK
cotton makes this bib a trendy accessory. Options for a lacy or a fun
striped neck strap make this pattern perfect for boys or girls. |

If the new
parents are eco-conscious and planning on using cloth diapers, the
Greenie Diaper Cover is the perfect gift. Worked in superwash wool in a
stitch pattern with wonderful stretch, this adorable cover-up can be
worked in custom colors. It's great over disposable diapers as well. |

Small baby garments
are also a wonderful way to learn a new technique. Worked in traditional
pinks or blues, the Hank Vest is perfect for a little girl or boy, or
let your creativity choose a fun new color palette. The worsted-weight
yarn and extended single crochet make this a quick garment, and parents
will love how easy this zippered vest is to slip on and off. The petite
size of this garment makes it the perfect project to learn how to
install a zipper. |

The Hunter Pullover
is a great way to learn crochet colorwork. You can work the traditional
snowflake pattern designed by Robyn or create your own pattern to use in
its place. This warm pullover closes at the neckline with three
buttons, making it easy to pull over a baby's head.
