Here is a lovely blanket using filets (by my reckoning that’s a filet as in a filet joint in a corner, rather than a fish filet, but you decide) of material filling a 90 degree angle between two others with strands rotated 45 degrees in pairs. It’s an attractive pattern that makes a larger 4-field checkerboard and a very interesting visual effect, especially when combined with a color gradient, as in the authors own example. A great project, and a great accessory for your home. A link to the free pattern is below photos.

Meandering Paw Prints over the Rainbow Bridge Free Crochet Pattern
One way to make them is a paw-shaped hole, regularly spaced on a surface, like in this rainbow paw blanket. Here, they are arranged like a bunch of puppies left their tracks up the blanket. The blanket is made of simple stitches and works up quickly. Of course, you can make this pattern in monochrome as well, or in other color combinations if rainbows don’t fit your current decor.

Sweet As Can Bee Baby Blanket – Paid Crochet Pattern
Pretty darn sweet, is how you can describe Nana’s „Sweet as can bee” blanket. This is an easily worked pattern that produces a continuous surface of about 34”x38”, with an attractive texture composed of hexagonal areas outlined in lacy perforations and a lovely edging. The color choice is quite attractive, but you can play with it according to your taste, of course. This pattern is no longer free.
