Rock-A-Bye Ice Cream Baby Blanket (Crochet)

The Sprig stitch gives it just enough texture to feel handmade without being bulky, and the Ice Cream yarn’s variegated shades shift beautifully across the blanket. I’ve already used it for tummy time and it’s held up great after a few washes.

The color transitions in this yarn are so dreamy—each row looks a little different, and the single crochet keeps it airy without feeling flimsy. Wrapped my nephew in it during a cool evening and the lightness was perfect for a newborn, not bulky at all.

The Sprig stitch gives it just enough texture without feeling bulky, and the weight is perfect for tossing over a car seat or stroller on cooler days. My niece actually fell asleep clutching it on the first try, which says everything.
