NEW RELEASE: To celebrate the release of the Whimsical Birds Wall Hanging, all four of my whimsical birds patterns, including the coordinating valances linked below, are 30% off now through 10/25/26 MT! No code needed!

This Whimsical Birds Wall Hanging, worked in filet crochet, uses open spaces, filled blocks, lacet stitches and a few bobbles to create this fun design.

The filet crochet technique is akin to crocheting a piece of graph paper with some of the square grids filled in and some left open (or blank) to create an overall design. More open designs, such as the lacet which incorporates multiple grids, can create an even lacier effect! If you’d like to learn filet crochet, check out my YouTube tutorial: Filet Crochet: Learning the Stitches & a Few Extras!

This pattern includes both row-by-row written instructions as well as a design chart for reference.

• If you enjoy interlocking filet crochet, with a few diagonals added in, this design is also available as the Interlocking Whimsical Birds Afghan.
• If you enjoy overlay mosaic crochet, check out the Mosaic Whimsical Birds Afghan, worked in a double overlay mosaic technique to create a duplicate design on the back.
