The Dragonflies & Hearts Baby Blanket pattern has 29 colour pages giving detailed written instructions with colour photos on how to crochet this pretty filet project.

The pattern uses DK yarn and a 4.5mm hook. Any weight yarn and corresponding hook may be used but sizes and yarn quantities will vary.

The blankets pictured take between 150g (car seat blanket 52cm x 62cm) and 300g (cot blanket 74cm x 98cm)) of DK yarn, with each band of motifs (5-7 blocks) taking approx. 25g of yarn + approx. 50g yarn for the border. Instructions are given for altering the size of the blanket.

As this item is not fitted, gauge is not important. The gauge given is related to the approximate size of the blankets in the pattern.

The pattern requires a basic knowledge of crochet stitches and techniques and is suitable for confident beginners.

The pattern is written in UK terms with US conversions included. Stitches (UK) used are:

Ch. (Chain)
Sl. st. (Slip stitch)
Stk dc. (stacked double crochet)
