Diamond Checkers Filet Blanket

This eye-catching blanket is a perfect gift for a newborn baby. It has a strong geometrical design that works well as a stylish blanket in any colour and can be made well in advance of the new arrival. The design works equally as well for a larger blanket for older children or adults, and instructions on how to increase this design are included.

The blanket pattern can be easily undertaken by beginners as there are no unusual or difficult stitches to master. The pattern contains written instructions with full stitch counts for every row, as well as a complete crochet chart.
