Little love baby blanket was designed originally to be a shawl pattern then i thought this would actually look better as a baby blanket. I haven’t made a baby blanket pattern for ages so this was a real treat to make, so much so i may have started a new baby blanket pattern in time for Easter definitely keep your eyes peeled for that one!
This baby blanket pattern is a filet crochet pattern and if you have never heard of or attempted to do filet crochet then i have the post just for you! Go and read How to filet crochet pronto! This will give you so much more of a better understanding to this pattern.
PDF Pattern:
In the PDF paid version of this crochet pattern i have included 3 charts:
- The first chart is so you can see all the chart together in one piece, if you are an advanced crocheter this one is most likely to be for you.
- The second chart is split into 2 parts so you can see it more closely, print both parts out and you can easily stick the pieces of paper together so it will look like one big chart.
- The third chart is split into 3 parts so you can make your blanket in different sizes, print all three parts out and you can easily stick the pieces of paper together so it will look like one big chart to follow.
I have included directions for 3 bigger sizes for you to try, unfortunately i haven’t crocheted these myself so i am unable to give you exact measurements but i have included the multiples and what should be your beginning chain and i have also included a chart so you can follow the bigger sizes more easily.

5mm Crochet Hook:
R1. With your blanket facing the right way towards you, join yarn in any stitch, work 1dc evenly around your entire blanket and making sure to work 3dc in every corner (you should have 4 corners at the end of this row) you will also want to make sure you have an even number of stitches around your entire blanket to do a ribbed border. Join with a slip stitch to beg dc.
R2. Ch2, Fpdc around beginning dc post, you will now alternate between Bpdc and Fpdc stitches around the blanket. When you get to a corner stitch (the middle dc out of the 3dc group you made to make a corner) you will need to work 3 post stitches around this dc (yes a little fiddly but can be done) and these will also need to be alternated in pattern, for example (Fpdc, Bpdc,Fpdc) or (Bpdc, Fpdc, Bpdc) depending what your last stitch was. Join with a slip stitch to beg Fpdc
R3. Ch2, Work Fpdc around first Fpdc, Bpdc around next Bpdc and so on, again you will need to work 3 post stitches in pattern around the middle post stitch of all of your corners. Join with a slip stitch to beg st.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
