Crochet Call the Midwife Baby Blanket

Call the Midwife

The Crochet Call The Midwife Baby Blanket has become a popular item for baby showers, christenings, births, and photo props. However, it wasn't always known by that name, and it didn't start as a baby blanket.

The original design was called the Block Shawl, and it was published by Patons in the 1980s using the Beehive brand of yarn. The pattern featured a stitch combination that created a block-like pattern, hence the name Block Shawl.

Over time, the design evolved, and people started using it to create baby blankets. The stitch combination was found to be perfect for baby blankets, as it created a thick, warm, and cozy fabric.

The Evolution of the Block Shawl into the Crochet Call The Midwife Baby Blanket

It wasn't long before the design became known as the Crochet Call The Midwife Baby Blanket. The name change was due to the popular TV show "Call the Midwife," which featured the blanket in many episodes.
