I'm excited and honored to share that I get to share the Warm Up America! Spring 2026 Baby Blanket Drive here on Moogly! Let's all grab some yarn and stitch together for a good cause!
The Warm Up America! 2026 Baby Blanket Drive
Warm Up America! is an amazing nonprofit, most known for its afghan drives. And every spring, they have a Baby Blanket Drive! This year, I was honored to be asked to help support this effort.
And now that this year's challenge is finished...here are the results!
Read on to see how you can help spread the warmth this next year!
What Is Warm Up America!?
"The Warm Up America! foundation, a 501C3 nonprofit, was founded in 1991 by Evie Rosen. It is committed to motivating, training and coordinating volunteers to knit and crochet afghans and clothing for people in need. To this end, the foundation:
- Promotes, trains and encourages individual volunteers and groups to adopt the WUA! program as a local activity.
- Supports and assists these local volunteers by providing information and instructional materials through its website and newsletters.
- Acts as a collection point for sections, oversees assembly into completed blankets and ships items to various charitable organizations and agencies for distribution to the homeless and persons in need. "

Hello, what are the minimum & maximum measurements for the baby blankets
Tamara Kelly says
I have sent an email to inquire, and will add that info as soon as I get it back! 🙂 Thank you for asking!
Tamara Kelly says
I just heard back! The minimum size is 36"x36" but go bigger if you'd like!
Marie Hopes says
Thanks for your quick response. So there is no maximum size for a baby afghan?
Sue says
If I have a blanket that is roughly 38x32, is that too small?
Tamara Kelly says
I'm not sure what their cut off is, I'd encourage you to contact them directly at https://warmupamerica.org/contact/

Links to some free KNIT baby blanket patterns would be appreciated as not all of us crochet.
