A message from the Designer
“I have always loved filet crochet. I like how simple it is. You can come up with the simplest or very intricate of designs depending on where you place your stitches. The filet technique is just Double crochet (US terms) and chain stitches placed in specific places to create open blocks that create a picture or pattern. If you can make a chain stitch and a double crochet stitch then you can crochet a filet blanket. The Linked Hearts Blanket is a beginner friendly pattern and has written row by row instructions as well as a chart to work from.”

Sizing Alterations
- You may wish to alter the size of your blanket to make it bigger or smaller.
- On the chart you will notice colour lines running through the chart. These are pattern repeats.
- If you wish to make it longer work the chart through once, then add as many pattern repeats between the blue lines as you wish (Rows 2 – 22) but on the final repeat stop at the red line (Row 18).
- In order to make your blanket wider add the pattern repeat between the green lines (32 extra ch sts). Working the repeat between the first green line (st 14) to the second green line (st 46) until you have reached your desired width ensuring after your last repeat that you work to the end of the chart.
