I love this yarn for its softness and the wide range of colors that it is available in. I used one of my go-to yarns for this project – Caron Simply Soft. Basically, if you can work a double crochet, then you can filet crochet! Most filet crochet patterns are written as charts, but to make this project beginner friendly, I have written out the instructions row by row! If you have never done filet crochet before, this blanket is a great introduction, as it only uses the technique for a few rows on each end of the blanket. The middle portion of the blanket is worked in a basic shell pattern. This blanket depicts three anchors at the bottom of the blanket and three anchors at the top of the blanket. However, this is the very first filet crochet project that I am sharing on the blog! Filet crochet uses only two stitches – chains and double crochet – to create a grid like lace which can be used to depict graphics. You can check out my Farmhouse Nautical Pillows here and here. Today I’m sharing a free pattern for the Nautical Filet Crochet Blanket! I have been on a roll lately with nautical themed crochet projects.
