I recently made the Opart baby blanket in 100% superwash wool; it's gentle machine-washable and dried well too though I air-dried it to block it. I agree with others that a blanket is very useful, on the bed, floor, ground, wrapping the baby etc. I wouldn't use anything smaller than 8ply (DK) yarn for a blanket either as it would take ages.
I think knitted is softer than crochet, and am making a baby jacket in sock yarn, 75% wool and 25% polyamide so it'll wear and wash well.
First baby things I've ever made, for a recent new relative. :-)
