Over the summer, I made a baby blanket for a baby girl. I used Caron “Baby” Cakes yarn. To say that I love this yarn is an understatement, it’s so soft and very easy to work with. I loved the colors as well.
Here is the baby blanket for the baby girl:
I love this yarn, the color changes automatically throughout the cake, so the only time you have to “change” the yarn is when you start a new cake.
Then this month, I made a baby boy blanket for my nephew and his girlfriend. Their baby is expected in early November. I used Caron Baby Cakes yarn again, this time in Fresh Air.
A note here, when I went back to Michael’s to purchase more Caron Baby Cakes, I found this yarn in the clearance bin and when I asked if they were getting more, I was told “no” by the sales associate. She said if it was in the clearance bin, then no. That is a shame because the yarn is beautiful. I was able to pick enough yarn out of the bin for one more baby blanket (colors would be for a baby girl), I have not yet started that blanket.
Here is the baby boy blanket, made with Caron Baby Cakes in Fresh Air:
I like the colors in Frosted Pansies better but again, I love how this yarn is easy to work with and how it comes out.
Hi Kimberly, I am a beginner crochetter and I love this yarn colour, I am also making a baby blanket and wanted to ask you how many yarns you used for this size of the blanket? I will buy it online so I need to know in advance. Thanks!
Hello. I used 5 of the Caron Baby Cakes yarn for this baby blanket! I love the Caron Baby Cakes yarn, it really makes nice afghans.
