How do I Choose the Right Pattern for me?

Choosing the right crochet baby pattern to make completely depends on what you’d like to make, who you’re making it for and what experience you have with crochet.

Firstly, you need to make something that you know you have a use for and have been wanting to make. There is no point in crocheting something that you don’t love. Also, you can keep in mind when you’ll be making your project. Is it something you’ll be working on the go? If yes, a pattern repeat which is easier to memorize would be best so you can crochet it up mindlessly.

Secondly, you need to choose a pattern that sits with your skill level and experience. I’ve added various details to all the patterns to save you the work of delving into them and finding out if they are right for you.

Crochet designers are so helpful with their patterns and give so many great instructions that you should definitely venture to the more adventurous side and try something advanced if you’re in the mood for it!

It’s vital that you find a pattern that has been tech edited and tested and I know that each and every one of these has been. Some of them have video tutorials too which is an amazing bonus for working out more complex parts.

What Crochet Stitches Will I Need to Know?

Each of the patterns that I’ve included use mostly single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches. Some of them have some fancy stitches that they’ve explained.

There are a few that use more advanced techniques because I didn’t want you to limit yourself if you’ve already encountered or would like to learn these stitches. All of these patterns have helpful instructions about anything special they’re using.
