Baby Fish

I based this ocean-themed baby blanket off a gorgeous painting my six-year-old daughter, Alice, did a few weeks ago. It’s the perfect size for a baby blanket! Or, you can join it to other squares to create an adult-sized blanket! Learn more at https://ashleeslint.com/2021/08/06/baby-fish/

The Locked Filet Mesh (LFM) interlocking crochet method uses only chain spaces and double crochets to create a mesh; two colors are worked alternately which creates the pattern.

Mosaic crochet uses single crochet and double crochet stitches. The double crochet stitches cover some of the other color’s single crochet stitches to create the design. My patterns instruct you to cut your yarn at the end of each row. The back is striped but often gives a faint impression of the pattern on the front (sort of like illusion knitting).
