When making a Baby Blankie.....Knit or Crochet ?

Question

I can do both, in your honest opinion, which is best for a baby blanket? Knitting? or Crocheting?

Just wondering what the masses think. Thanks!

Answer 1

I do both and prefer to knit, but crochet is quicker so is better for blankets.  You can even use the afghan stitch (which doesn't leave holes) and then cross stitch a picture onto it.

Answer 2

Actually, crocheting can produce a heavier fabric than knitting depending on the stitch pattern you use.  

But whichever you prefer doing is what will work best for you!  

Answer 3

Knitting as the stiches are closer together and therefore it will be warmer for baby.

Answer 4

Crochet is much prettier and lacier, but knitting makes a warmer blanket.
