Filet Crochet Pattern.
|
To make a filet crochet pattern is easy. Filet crocheting is an amazingly flexible and rewarding technique. You can use any kind of yarn, any number of hook. Just don't be afraid to experiment a little bit.
What I like the most about filet crochet is its ability to look nice in any kind of projects: pullover, dress, shawl, doilies, delicate edging for bedding, curtains for windows, and etc.
Combine filet crochet pattern with any other plane pattern, and possibility for your creativity will really become endless. Here are some basics rules to follow while working in filet crochet technique:
1.Filet crochet is a mesh composed of open and filled cells. There are different ways to form the cells. A filet crochet symbols picture shows you the most often used way to crochet them.2.Number of stitches for the foundation chain: 3 x (number of cells) + 3 turning chains (to start the 1st row)+ 1 chain(to form the last cell of the 1st row). If you have to make 48 cells for the 1st row, your foundation chain will have: 3 x 48 + 3 +1 = 148 chains.
3.To keep filet pattern neat make sure you are working a little more tightly than usual. It might not a bad idea to use a size hook one number less than recommended for the kind of yarn you chose.
4.Filet mesh will look more orderly if each double crochet is worked in the front strand of a stitch, instead of working in both.
5.To finish a crochet filet project, wash it with soap, wet item pin to the clean cardboard, stretch to the necessary shape, and let it dry. Carefully iron it, but better steam. Some projects require light starching.
