My great-grandmother was still crocheting when my brothers and I were born. She made each of us a "baby blanket." I'm not sure about the practicability of a fillet crocheted baby blanket... they weren't used that way I think. But they were around as I grew up and inevitably stains and extra holes were made. It's been awhile since I cut off the best part of mine and made it into a pillow. And as it goes, more "extra" holes have appeared. It was time for a bit of mending.
