This Swirl Crochet Baby Filet Blanket (Greek key) has beauty in style instead of texture. This would make a great spring or fall crochet blanket for not just babies, but adults too. The multiples of the stitch are given so you can make this any size you want.
For my next Filet crochet baby blanket I wanted to do a design that had a bit more focus to do. Even though once I had the first swirls done, I could use it as a row reference really easily so this one because as easy as the last 2 filet baby blankets I made.
I’m really happy with the way it turned out, how about you?

The Multiples of this stitch is 24 + 6 so feel free to make it wider if you want to go for a full size. Every 24 stitches is a block. The + 6 is what you need to add right before you start.
I used only one color on my crochet baby blanket, but if you did want to add a second color then I would do it on the border rows where you have just DC’s. Example, like Rows 1 or 11.
To Start
Multiples of the stitch are 24 + 6 or for DCFS 24 + 4
Baby size = Width 40 x 60 in or 101 cm x 152 cm – Ch 126 or DCFS 124
twin size = Width 65 x 90 in or 165 cm x 229 cm – Ch 198 or DCFS 196
If doing DCFS’s then skip to row 2.
Row 1

ch 3 and turn
Repeat rows 2 – 11
THE BORDER
For the border I did a row of DC’s on both sides of my blanket only. Because the top and bottom row were already DC’s.
I slip stitched in top of corner stitch and chained 1. DC 2 in all side stitches of the DC’s. I added one DC and Ch 1 space to corners to make them look correct. So after your done with your DC’s down your row and you reach the top or bottom section again, just DC and ch 1 then slip stitch in first stitch of top or bottom stitch.
