What is the average length of a baby blanket?

Question

I am crocheting a baby blanket and I only have a week. I only have about 3 inches so far in length. How long should I make it? Any suggestions would be great.

Answer 1

Small preemie: 18 to 20 inches square

Medium preemie: 20 to 22 inches square

Large preemie: 22 to 28 inches square

Full-term baby: 28 to 36 inches square

Crib-sized: 30 x 36 inches to 45 x 60 inches

Toddler/child: 36 x 45 inches to 40 x 60 inches

Twin bed: 66 x 90 inches



(I must veto qtrican1's suggestion for a granny square blanket. Baby blankets should never have holes of any kind. Tiny fingers & toes -- even arms & legs -- can get stuck in them.)

Answer 2

Preemie quilt: 18" by 20"-24"

Newborn baby: 25" by 30"

Crib: 50" x 53"

Toddler: 35" by 45"

Child: 40" by 60"





Give or take an inch as the pattern requires

Answer 3

Baby afghans should be at least 36" square and can be longer than that if you want to make a crib afghan that will later fit a toddler bed. Here's hoping you have lots of yarn and a large hook to get this done in a week. You can use doubled worsted weight or a bulky yarn and a size K or M hook to make it go faster.

Answer 4

as a mother blankets that can also be used later in life are very handy. but if you are thinking soly for a baby, at least the size of the crib mattress or an extra foot on there. if you liked my idea about using it later, around the size of a twin mattress with some extra.

Answer 5

Polar fleece merely is obtainable in one width. so which you will possibly merely be figuring out on the size until you intend to stitch a seam to make it wider. in case you pick the blankets to final, purchase sturdy high quality fleece. ensure you tell them to bathe the blankets by making use of themselves. including even a t-shirt into the wash with them might reason the fleece to pill.

Answer 6

most baby blankets are 36"x36". If you only have a week I'd suggest a granny stitch blanket. Not small squares per say but one big square.

Answer 7

Here is a good list of sizes for the different blanket/afghans that you can make.
