Pattern Notes

• This pattern is worked from the bottom up and turned for each new row. It has no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ side and can be worked as written for either right or left hand hook holders.
• This pattern can be made with any weight yarn & hook, but sizing is given along with yarn amounts and hook sizes. 10% has been added to the yarn amounts to account for looser tensions.
• This pattern can be increased/decreased in multiples of 45 stitches across and 35 rows up to make any size blanket.
• New to Mayhem & Majesty filet patterns? Please read the Help Guide on page 4 of this pattern before attempting to begin.
