This cozy modern striped ripple baby blanket would make the perfect baby shower gift or present for a sweet little one! Read on down for the full FREE crochet baby blanket pattern or Add to Ravelry “here” to make for later!

When I decided to make this car seat blanket I made sure I picked fun colors!  I was instantly drawn to the Impeccable yarn line from Michael’s Stores because of all the bright fun color choices I would have! I ultimately chose to go with a bright yellow & green combo mixed with earthy neutrals. These colors would be perfect for a baby boy or girl! Don’t you agree?

I used a size J crochet hook and I highly recommend Boye crochet hooks since I have found them to be the easiest to work with.  The great thing about this project is that it only takes less than 1 skein of yarn of each color to make the car seat blanket. Perfect! In the pattern notes section I listed out all the materials needed including the exact colors I used so your crochet blanket will be exactly the same!
