Crochet that lasts a lifetime

Some baby gifts become family keepsakes. A hand-crocheted blanket has a particular charm: the visible stitches, the feel of the yarn, and the time that goes into each piece. O.B. Designs' crochet range is designed in Byron Bay and made to be chosen for its colour, texture and story.

Our current hand-crochet baby blankets include the returning Rainbow Ripple and new heirloom shades. Each listing gives the exact materials, size, care instructions and availability for that design.

What makes a crochet blanket feel special?

The stitches give each piece texture and make the pattern part of the gift. Our Rainbow Ripple design brings a bright, nostalgic colour story; the quieter shades suit families who prefer a softer palette. A gift note saying why you chose the design can make it feel even more personal.

Check the details of the blanket you choose

Materials and measurements can differ between designs and between older and newer collections. For example, the current Rainbow Ripple heirloom blanket is listed as 90 × 90 cm and made from 60% cotton, 30% milk fibre and 10% cashmere. Its care instructions recommend hand washing and drying flat. Check the product page for the latest details of any colour you are considering.

A gift to enjoy and keep

A blanket can be enjoyed during supervised awake time and kept as a memento as a child grows. If you are buying for a baby shower or a particular date, check whether the chosen colour is in stock or on preorder before planning delivery.

Use safe sleep guidance

A beautiful crochet pattern or fibre blend does not by itself make a blanket suitable as infant bedding. Avoid loose items in a baby's sleep space and follow Red Nose Australia's current safe sleeping guidance for safe bedding and sleeping arrangements.
