Baby bottle
Baby bottle charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 15 by 17 motif made for baby blankets, bibs, and nursery filet projects. Open it in the editor to resize the grid, frame it with open mesh, or repeat it into a border, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

Skill level: beginner
If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.
Yarn and hook
A small motif like the baby bottle suits size 10 or 20 cotton thread and a steel hook, giving the delicate, heirloom look filet is known for. Traditional filet is a single colour, which keeps the block-and-mesh contrast readable, but you can always work the background in a second shade.
Project ideas
Use the baby bottle as a gentle accent on a bib or a coordinated nursery panel. It suits a bib and works just as well on a nursery wall hanging. Scale the grid up for a centrepiece or tile the motif for an all-over effect.
Who it's for
Think of a baby-shower host, and occasions like a new arrival — the baby bottle lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 3.8 by 4.3 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
