Baby Footprint Blanket Knitting Patterns

I recently noticed that a post from 2020 about a baby footprints blanket was getting a lot of traffic, so I wanted to see if I could find more baby footprint blanket knitting patterns for those interested in making them for the little ones in their lives. 

This sweet pattern features baby feet in a heart and would be a lovely gift for a new little one, or for parents enduring the loss of a baby. The pattern is by CreaEline on Crazypatterns, uses worsted weight yarn and comes out to about 43 by 38 inches/109 by 96 cm. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Linda Gavaldon’s Bare Feet is also on Ravelry and features diagonal sets of feet worked on a stockinette stitch background. It calls for DK weight yarn and is about 28 inches/71 cm square. She also has Happy Feet, which has the feet running around the outside of the blanket as a kind of border. This one also uses DK weight yarn and comes out to 28 by 32 inches, or 71 by 81 cm. 

If you prefer to make blocks instead of a full blanket in one piece, I found a pattern meant to be washcloths that could be knit in multiples and stitched together to make a baby feet blanket. Try the Ophelia baby footprints washcloth by Bridget McKenzie (free on Ravelry) which could be used as a block with or without the borders. 

There’s also Daisy and Storm‘s footprint washcloth, which has both a written pattern and a chart. 

And if a bulky finger knit baby blanket is more your style, you can try the baby feet graphic pattern from Digital Devine Designs. The pattern includes written instructions and a chart for the baby feet but it assumes you already know how to do finger knitting. (I assume you could also use needles.) The pattern comes out to 31 by 34 inches, or 78.75 by 86.36 cm and calls for chunk yarn.
