About The Cute But Feral Filet Blanket:

The Cute But Feral Filet Blanket – Free Crochet Pattern is the ultimate crochet project for anyone who loves a playful mix of sweet and sassy! This free filet crochet pattern combines double crochet (dc) stitches and chain-one spaces to create a blanket that’s as fun to make as it is to show off. Featuring the cheeky phrase “Cute But Feral” framed by adorable hearts and airy eyelet spaces, this blanket is perfect for a baby with a little wild streak—or for parents with a great sense of humor!

The filet crochet technique lets you watch the words and shapes appear as you stitch, making the process exciting and rewarding. Whether you go for soft pastel yarns, bold and vibrant colors, or monochrome elegance, this blanket is sure to stand out.

It’s a fantastic gift idea for baby showers, or even as a quirky throw for a nursery or playroom. The Cute But Feral Filet Blanket is all about embracing personality, creativity, and a touch of mischief—just like the little one it’s made for!

Cute But Feral Filet Blanket Pattern

Materials Used:

Stitches Used:

  • Ch – Chain
  • Sc – Single Crochet
  • Dc – Double Crochet
  • Sts – Stitches
  • Sk – Skip
  • RS – Right Side Of Your Blanket
  • WS – Wrong Side Of Your Blanket

Size:

  • 35 x 45.5 inches approx

Notes:

  • This is a ONE SIZE crochet blanket pattern, no multiples are included.
  • This blanket is worked in rows starting from the bottom working towards the top of the blanket, turn your blanket over at the end of each row.
  • Ch1 at the start of each row does not count as a stitch throughout the pattern.
  • If you are getting a different stitch count on different rows this means you have probably missed a ch1 stitch on your current row or your previous row.
  • When the pattern states to work ‘dc x12’ for example – those stitches you are working into could either be dc stitches or chain 1 stitches.
  • When the pattern states to ‘ ch1, skip 1’ – all you are doing is chaining 1 and skipping the next stitch, this could either be a dc stitch or a chain 1 stitch.
  • If you have brackets in the row that you are working on, here is an example: dc x18, (Ch1, Skip 1, dc x23) x 4, Ch1, Skip 1, dc x18

This is telling you to 1dc in next 18sts (ch1, skip next st, 1dc in next 23sts) – Repeat what is in the brackets 4 times altogether, ch1, skip 1, 1dc in next 18sts.

  • Read each row carefully before starting the row.
