Design
Today’s free crochet pattern is the Carina Baby Blanket Pattern, this crochet pattern is worked from the bottom to the top and features filet crochet throughout the pattern meaning you will only be using double crochet stitches and chain stitches in the main part of the blanket. The filet crochet stitches throughout this blanket pattern is quite prominent and quite ‘gappy’ but worked up in the right yarn it would be more of a summer blanket than a winter one unless you were using thinner yarn. Beginner friendly and great for advanced crocheters.
