Filet Crochet Angel Pattern

This filet crochet Angel pattern is a great introduction to learn how to filet crochet, as the pattern is symmetrical and easy to follow.

All the panels that feature in the Jolly Holiday Blanket are created using the Filet Crochet technique, including this crochet Angel pattern.

Filet crochet is a technique that uses stitches and chain spaces to show an image in crochet fabric.

Whatever your crochet skill level is, all 12 of the filet crochet panels have been converted into more than just the filet chart. For each filet crochet blanket panel in the Jolly Holiday Blanket CAL, you’ll find, free to view on the website:

• filet crochet chart
• written version of the chart

• AND a full video tutorial to support the full written pattern

So, even if you’ve never created a fillet crochet project, all the options will be available for you to ensure you can complete your blanket with confidence.
