Cross | Filet Crochet Pattern

This pattern is the first of 6 religious filet crochet patterns which are releasing as part of the Jolly Holiday Blanket.


Each of the filet crochet patterns releasing in this crochet blanket pattern are designed to be beginner friendly, encouraging you to fall in love with the filet crochet technique.

Like many of the panels included in this blanket pattern, the Cross panel is a symmetrical filet crochet chart, which allows both left and right handed crocheters to read the pattern from either direction and achieve the same finished result.

If you’re new to filet crochet, it is a crochet technique that uses stitches and chain spaces to show an image in crochet fabric – click here to learn more about the filet crochet technique.

Whatever your crochet skill level is, each of the filet crochet panels releasing in the Jolly Holiday Blanket can be followed using 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
  • FULL written pattern with no need to refer to the chart

Even if you are new to the fillet crochet technique, all the ways to follow the pattern will be available for you to ensure you can complete your blanket with confidence.
