Baby Blanket

Baby blanket???

i’m making a baby blanket for a friend and need to know what size it should be. if you have an idea of how big a normal baby blanket is, please let me know.

They range from 2 feet square to about 4 feet square, and any size and shape in between. Personally I think the smaller ones are pointless. Newborn babies don’t need blankets, and shouldn’t even have them in the crib until they’re 6 months to a year.

If you’re sewing a receiving blanket out of cloth, make sure it’s square so it’s easier to swaddle with – it’s a pain trying to swaddle with a rectangular blanket. If you’re knitting or crocheting it, I’d make it on the bigger side, so the baby can lay on it when he’s doing “tummy time,” and use it as a real blanket when he’s a toddler.
