How to do Filet Crochet

Hi there,

I hope you are doing well and enjoying crocheting. This is the pattern to do the one heart.

FILET CROCHET – HEART PATTERN

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  St = stitch, 

Ch = chain,  * * = work all in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo – yarn over, ss = slip stitch

11 squares in pattern x 3 = 33 chain plus 1(for the end stitch) 3 for the turning chain and 2 for 2 chain in between which gives you a multiple of 39 chain.

An open square is:  1dc in the next dc, ch2, 1dc in the next dc – that gives you an open square

A closed square is: use the dc you made previously as the 1^st st, then 2dc in the 2 ch space and 1dc in the next dc, that gives you a closed sp

So make a foundation chain of 39

Row 1: Dc into the 8^th ch,  *ch2, skip 2, 1dc in the 3^rd ch* rep till you have 11 squares, ch5 turn around

Row 2: 5 open squares, 4 closed, 2 open squares (for last dc, dc into the 3^rd ch, ch5 and turn

Row 3: 2 open squares, 5 closed, 4 open, ch5 turn

Row 4: 3 open, 6 closed, 2 open, ch 5 turn

Row 5: 4 open, 5 closed, 2 open, ch5 turn

Row 6: 3 open, 6 closed, 2 open, ch5 turn

Row 7: 2 open, 5 closed, 4 open, ch5 turn

Row 8: 5 open, 4 closed, 2 open, ch 5 turn

Row 9: 11 open

See you next time!

Bye
