The Sand Preemie Crochet Blanket is just what you need to cover your newest bundle of joy. Preemies in particular need a little extra TLC and extra warmth so this crochet blanket is perfect for that.
Every time I looked at this blanket, I saw sand in the colors. (Maybe it's because I have always loved the beach.) Anyways, as soon as I saw the picture below, I knew this blanket was going to be The Sand Preemie Blanket. I love how this blanket has a sandy-looking texture and neutral sand color for any baby!
Before we get to the pattern, if you're thinking of making some more blankets for the little ones in your life and you love learning from videos, you might want to check out the professionally filmed video tutorial for making a Log Cabin Baby Blanket here.

Hi I’ve been searching high and low for a baby blanket for a boy with an intermediate skill level that I just absolutely fell in love with…. and then I came across this fabulous pattern on Ravelry… once I started reading the pattern and figuring out the measurements is when I realized it’s for a preemie and unfortunately that’s not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for a 36″ x 36″ or as close to this size as possible and I was wondering and hoping that maybe you could help me or guide me to make this absolutely beautiful pattern closer to this size? Thank you for taking the time to read this and I’d love to get any feedback or help you might have.
