Birthstone Baby Blanket Patterns

July 5, 2020 by AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns

When I was little, I loved looking at the birthstone displays at stores. I remember each month’s stone glittering fabulously out of necklaces or rings or earrings, and I was dazzled. I would rack my brain for people I knew with a birthday in each month and feel majorly proud when I succeeded in covering them all. My birthstone color (Aquamarine Blue for March) was always the prettiest (in my humble opinion). I always hoped that someone, somewhere would buy something aquamarine for me.

Eventually, my dad noticed my (not so) subtle hints. For my seventh birthday, I received a lovely heart necklace with an aquamarine gem in the center. I loved it.

My birthstone color is still one of my favorite colors to choose for clothes, home décor, and jewelry.  Seriously, as I write this, I am wearing an aquamarine-colored shirt. And I didn’t even plan it!

From my example, we know that kids love to admire their birthstones and dream about gifts in that special color. We also know that, often, the colors a child loves when they are little become their favorites later on. A sparkly birthstone necklace or ring might work well as a birthday gift for an older child, but what do we do for babies? A brand new little one wouldn’t understand or appreciate a birthstone necklace. A ring certainly wouldn’t work for their teeny, tiny fingers. Can we, as avid crocheters, come up with a solution?

Enter: Crochet Baby Blanket Patterns.

Birthstone Baby Blanket Patterns

What do babies love more than being snuggly warm with a fuzzy blanket against their soft baby skin? And what do we love more than giving the gift of snuggles through cuddly baby blankets? A crochet baby blanket in the color of the baby’s birthstone would be a unique baby gift to display baby’s birthstone in something they’ll love.

Below are baby blanket patterns that match each month’s birthstone color. Find the month of the next expected little one in your life, and get started!

Of course, you could also mix and match the patterns. If you really like the design of one, make it up in all of the birthstone colors!

Medley of Stitches Blanket

Opal can range in color enormously, from dark, almost black to white and milky, but it is known for different sparkling colors in different lights. This Medley of Stitches pattern not only uses many different crochet stitches, but also many colors, making this blanket as close to opal as you will ever get. And as an added bonus, it is a great stashbusting pattern!

This gorgeous pattern is knit with three strands of yarn, making it bulky and warm, perfect for a November baby. And if yellow yarn replaced the pink, it would even more closely resemble the shades of topaz!

I couldn’t decide between these two patterns—they’re so different but both so beautiful! Either make a lacy baby blanket with a ruffled edge, or make an easy oversized granny square with beautiful stripes.
