10 Best Unique Crochet Ideas for Babies

1. Fold Up Unicorn Play Set

First on the list, we have this adorable Unicorn Play Set by Joanita Theron Designs. This free pattern includes the instructions to make two unicorns, accessories for them (including pillows, blankets, and cupcakes!), as well as a play mat that folds up to store the entire play set when finished. I also love that the pattern includes pockets to store the smaller pieces in.

Depending on the baby’s age, you may want to skip the smaller pieces, or wait to make them until they are older. I love how fun, creative, and unique this whole idea is, and the ripple stitch for the play mat is so cute and gives the whole kit a perfect finish. Joanita says this pattern is a great stash and scrap buster as well! I love these kinds of patterns to clear out the stash.

The free pattern includes instructions to make the pots, the “dirt”, a beet, radish, carrot, and flower.

I can just imagine how much fun little ones would have mixing and matching the plants with different pots as they pretend to grow their make-believe garden.

I’ll race you to the free pattern here!

5. Round Ripple Afghan

If you’re going to make a baby blanket, why not make one that is out of this world? I love the unique idea to turn this blanket into our solar system, and the planet appliques make it great for sensory play for baby as well. Such a fun take on the round ripple afghan!

You can find the original Rainbow Ripple Afghan pattern by Celeste Young for free on Ravelry here.

You can find the post she made regarding the Space, the Rippled Frontier version of the Rainbow Ripple Afghan here! She explains that the blanket itself was made with different colors, and each planet was crocheted as circles with embroidery details.

6. Crochet Sensory Book

8. Farm Animal Finger Puppet Playset

Now, this Farm Animal Finger Puppet Playset by 5 Little Monsters is a must-make! The tiny farm animal puppets are so cute, and the drawstring bag made to look like a barn to keep them in is my favorite! This one would be great for carrying in your purse or diaper bag to entertain the little ones while you’re out and about.

Find the free pattern here!

9. Farm Animals in a Barn

Or, why not crochet your baby an entire farm, complete with a white picket fence and everything? This pattern by Laura Sutcliffe on Annie’s Attic includes crochet instructions to make a horse, cow, pig, sheep, a hen and her nest, hay bales, food troughs, a pasture with a fence, and a whole dang barn to put it all in!

Such a fun, unique design, and it’s sure to keep the little ones entertained for hours. I have a nephew currently obsessed with all things farm animals, so this may just be his Christmas present this year!

You can purchase the pattern on Annie’s Attic here.

10. Fishing Game Kid’s Toy

This one is probably more suited toward older toddlers, but it’s just too cute to not include here. This Fishing Game by Alli Crafts is so unique and absolutely adorable. Each little fish has a magnet inside them, and so does the crochet fishing hook. Little ones will have so much fun “catching” each fish! The pattern designer says this can be a great toy to teach colors and counting. And, when finished, the entire “pond” can be cinched up into a bag to hold all the pieces. What a great idea!

You can find the free pattern here.

6. Men’s Crewneck Pullover Sweater

For a basic, yet handsome looking sweater, this Crewneck Pullover by Christa Co Design is a great choice! The entire sweater is worked in double crochet stitches, so it not only works up quickly, but it’s a great project for beginner crocheters as well. The ribbing around the collar adds a nice touch to this cozy looking sweater too!

7. The Dutton Hoodie

For a crocheted spin on a classic style, why not give the Dutton Crochet Hoodie by Two Brothers Blankets a try? This handsome hoodie was created using the Alpine crochet stitch, and I love the look it gave to the finished product. This hoodie pattern is part of a 12-pattern book that includes crochet patterns for men.

8. Brentwood Men’s Pullover

This pattern by A Crocheted Simplicity is available in both men’s and boy’s sizes, so it’s a perfect project for any of the men in your life. The collar of this one provides such a unique and professional finish to the pullover, and it looks perfect for the winter weather. The best part is, this sweater is crocheted from the bottom up, and it has very minimal seaming. That’s always great to hear when taking on a new project!

Because only the sleeves will be seamed, this project is a great one for newer crocheters. Add this one to your list!

I love how cozy and comfortable this Cozy Coed Cardigan by Heart Hook Home looks! The vertical rows give it a more knitted appearance, which is a fun change sometimes. Also, the pattern is designed using mostly half double crochet, front post/back post half double crochet, and front post/back post double crochet stitches, lending to its unique and stylish appearance.

This pattern is available in every size imaginable, including smalls, talls, and even children’s sizes! You truly can’t go wrong with this one.
