Filet Crochet is very simple to learn. The basic idea or pattern is to use a double crochet and a chain in an alternating style. The end of the rows / turn/ start/; chain three (for the turn) + 1 (for the spacing), double crochet in 6th stitch from hook. Pattern stitch is: chain (ch)1, double crochet (dc) in top of next double crochet (dc).
Continue across( acr) in pattern, ch.1, dc. Double crochet (dc) in top of last double crochet (dc), chain (ch) 4, double crochet (dc) in next double crochet (dc).
I made several rectangle pieces out of two different colors of cotton yarn. Assembled the blocks for a front, back, sides, and arms or sleeves.
I made chains
and wove them in and thru the sleeve end, about 2" above the end and tied them into a bow. This allowed for a slight cuff and holds it nicely above my wrist. I made another chain and wove it in and out of a chain 5 I placed around the neckline to help secure the main shape on neckline.
This "Tunic" was made in three days. The stitches used were: Chain (ch), single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc). The hardest part was sewing in the yarn ends. A very simple pattern to learn. Not the Tunic so much as the "pattern stitches" themselves.
I taught my girlfriend this pattern and within two weeks had enough blocks to make her first Filet-crochet, baby blanket for her grand daughters first Christmas.Taught myself to read patterns as a young adult, so am trying to assist with others that are not that familiar as well as help or share with some patterns and stitches.
Hope this helps and that you enjoy.
I also have this picture and other crochet items I have made on Pinterest, SweatPeasnRoses, or look me up by name, Leota McKenzie.
