Filet is a very beautiful and delicate technique that can be used for baby blankets, as well as bigger works. It allows to create a soft and lacy pattern of your choice. You can make shapes like hearts or stars or simply a straight and regular perforation on it, depending on your style and skills.
The heart shape would look very nicely on the blanket for a girl. You can make any shape, especially if you want to be more neutral of are planning to gift it to a newborn without knowing its gender. The effect is the best if you choose soft materials and bright colors. Every baby will look like a little angel on that blanket! To make the most of these ideas, be sure to choose one of the best yarn for crochet blanket shops have to offer. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
