Filet stitch patterns

 This is one of my favorite baby blanket patterns. The border is done in a filet stitch, which isn't a stitch, but a pattern of (usually) double crochet stitches and chain stitch spaces, which make a pattern.

The spaces are sometimes called open squares and the blocks of dc are called closed squares.

 These flowers are supposed to be magnolias. It took me 3 years to make.
 These are roses.

You can find patterns of letters and numbers to make your name and dates. Filet stitch pattern are simple in that they use only dc and chain stitches, but they are difficult in requiring close counting and attention to detail. They also take a long time to make.
