Pattern Notes

  • This pattern is worked from the bottom up and turned for each new row.
  • Left-hand hook holders follow this pattern as written, noting that the odd rows (‘right side’ [RS] ) are actually the ‘wrong side’ [WS] for you. This means when you crochet even rows, you will be able to read the words. If you consult the graph, remember to read right to left on odd rows & left to right on even rows.
  • A graph for this pattern can be found in a separate file.
  • The finished size is approximately 54 by 62 inches (137 by 158 cm) using the yarn weight & hook listed below. You can create a smaller blanket by using DK (#3/4ply/light worsted)weight yarn.

Pattern Notes

  • Finished size using a 5.5mm hook and worsted weight yarn is 48 by 72 inches (122 by 183 cm). This blanket is set up to be resizable, so you can easily make a smaller version by doing less panels of cups and/or fewer cup across the width. Or by using a lighter weight yarn and smaller hook.

Pattern Notes

  • This pattern is worked in the round (like a solid granny square) and turned for each new row.
  • The pattern is written using my signature Numerical Filet style. No graph is included as there is not a way to make a filet chart that can be read in the round.
  • This pattern can be made with any weight yarn & hook, but the finished sizes are as follows (using DK weight yarn and a 4mm hook):
    • The one-piece baby blanket (with shell border) is approximately 34 inches (87 cm) square.
    • A single granny square is approximately 8 inches (20 cm) square.
  • Please read the Filet worked in the Round Help Guide on page 3 of this pattern before attempting to begin. Even if you have worked my filet patterns before!

Yarn & Supplies - Baby Blanket - DK yarn (light worsted / #3 / 8 ply)

  • 1,400 total yards (1,280 meters)
    • Rows 1-9 (a Granny Block): 61 yards (56 meters)
    • Panel 1 (Rows 10-17 is a “panel”): 144 yards (131 meters)
    • Panel 2: 237 yards (217 meters)
    • Panel 3: 331 yards (303 meters)
    • Panel 4: 427 yards (390 meters)
  • Shell Border: 200 yards (183 meters)
  • 4mm Hook
  • Stitch Markers

Calculating Yarn & Sizing for Larger Blankets

  • Each panel repeat (rows 10-17) adds about 6 inches to the width/height.
  • Each panel uses the yardage of the previous panel + 94 yards (86 m) more. For example, adding a 5th panel to the baby blanket above would mean you take the amount of Panel 4 (427) PLUS 94 more - to get a total off 523 yards for this 5th panel. This would make the blanket 38 in chess square.
