Perfect Plaid Afghan Giveaway
I love this afghan. I hate making projects more than once, and I've made this one no less than EIGHT times. It's fast, it's fun. It looks like you worked and slaved for days, when it really only took a few hours. I used to make one of these for every neighbor who had a baby. (I probably will again when my babies get big enough for me to concentrate on the same project for a while!)

I started crocheting a baby afghan when I was first pregnant 31 yrs. ago.. I stopped for a few years and got back into it again.. So I would say that is probably my most favorite thing to give to new babies.. I made a beautiful pink one that is for my grand-daughter to be born at the end of this month.. Sophee..
My favorite thing to make for a baby would be little baby booties. They are just so cute and sweet.

Baby blanket or diapers, because you can never have enough diapers!!!
I almost always give a hat/diaper cover, hat/cocoon, or hat/blanket set to all new babies. However, I ALWAYS include the book "Love Your Forever" with my baby gift and dedicate the inside cover as the "gift card".
My favorite thing to give to little babies is making a beanie hat and shoes to give them.

In the past I've always done sewn blankets.
My new favorite thing to give for a new baby is a set of booties and matching hat. I try to incorporate any theme the parents have for the baby's room into the set.
I am a Mommy-to-be in September. The best things I have received were a handmade quilt and a star shaped afghan. I love these the best because they give you the gift of someone's time. These items will be cherished:)- Amanda
I love to crochet soft baby blankets as gifts. One of the greatest things given to me with my daughter was a handmade quilt from my aunt. My grandma also finds great fabric and makes blankets that are great for swaddling babies after the turn 3 months!

I usually give a hat and booties then a container to hold 3 servings of powder formula. It was a life saver when our kids were little 20 yrs ago.

My next baby project will be the Nappy Cake pattern which is a baby cake made up of all kinds of baby items...blanket...booties...hats...washcloths...and other things I can't remember exactly right now, but it makes a great centerpiece at baby showers!!
