Crochet blankets

Selection of yarn for carpet

Handmade rugs are available in many different sizes, so you can choose everything from making a baby blanket and up to making a blanket for a double bed. However, the size is by far the only important decision to make, because you also have to choose type of yarn. Yarn quality is of great importance to the finished result, so it is a choice that needs to be carefully considered.

Wool blankets are very hot, making them perfect for winter cold. They can both be used inside for coziness on the couch, and if you knit or crochet a baby blanket in woolen yarn, it will also be absolutely perfect to use on cold days when the baby sleeps outside in the stroller.

In comparison, a cotton blanket will not be nearly as hot, but in turn it has some weight. It makes cotton blankets for good summer blankets, and it is especially suitable for toddlers who can feel that the carpet's weight is soothing. Cotton blankets also have the great advantage that they can be machine washing at high temperatures, which is an advantage over the hygiene if it is a baby blanket.

Last but not least, you can also consider making a blanket in a yarn quality which is a mixture of wool and cotton. Here you get good qualities from both materials, which can be the right choice if you would like a blanket that can be used all year round.
