Do young expecting Mommy’s receive crocheted baby blankets anymore at their baby showers?

I recently attended a baby shower for a first time Mother-to-be. It was a big, beautiful celebration with more baby things than I had ever seen, except one thing.

The one thing not given? A crocheted baby blanket. Not even one! I do believe this is a first for me. Our daughter received 6 handmade baby blankets two years ago at her shower.

This can’t be, I thought to myself.

So I made this one for that new, sweet baby.

The mommy was tickled to have a snuggly blanket for her baby boy.

Crocheted baby blankets are so simple a 6 year old could make one. Have you ever made any? Is it now a thing of the past?

  1. It’s been so long since I went to a baby shower that I have no idea. I still have all the hand made baby blankets and sweater sets, my youngest is 35 years old this year. 🤣 I’m not a hoarder I just know the deceased women that made them. Someday I will donate them.
