Whispers of apricot blossom, come dance with me!

This is a delicate baby blanket created using the filet crochet technique. I use Bendigo Woollen Mills 4ply/fingering weight yarn, for a smaller style blanket but this pattern works equally well using a dk or 8ply yarn for a slightly larger style blanket. Hook size is dependant upon yarn weight.

This pattern is in written format with a colour block graph for the main body of the pattern and a symbol graph for the final edging top and bottom. To understand colour block graphs visit my webpage. Click here for colour block graphs.
