Baby Summer Filet Crochet Blanket Pattern

This baby summer blanket is worked in filet crochet, but in a reverse style, with more filled squares than holes. It is crocheted in one piece with a clean, finished edge, so there is no border to add: just weave in the ends. It is light and airy, perfect for a warm baby or for balmy summer days.
