Free Filet Crochet Patterns.
Part 3. Design your own 3-D filet crochet pattern.

This Free Filet Crochet Patterns page demonstrates one more way of decorating traditional flat filet crochet meshes with 3-D elements. In the Part 2 of Filet Crochet Patterns we considered how to substitute one open mesh with a four-petal flower. This time we will use a puff stitch to decorate a filet crochet mesh. Each cell of a mesh consists of double crochet, chain 1, double crochet, (dc, ch1, dc). Let's substitute it by one puff stitch. Follow the steps below.

	To crochet puff stitch on the filet crochet mesh: Yarn over. Insert the hook under horizontal chain of the mesh of the previous row and draw up the loop (3 loops on the hook).
	Repeat *yarn over and draw up the loop * three more times. There are 9 loops on the hook.
	Draw the yarn throw the eight loops. There are 2 loops on the hook.
	Draw the yarn through two loops on the hook completing the puff stitch. There is 1 loop on the hook. Each puff stitch takes place of one mesh in the filet crochet pattern. They are easy to make and can be placed as the single stitches or in the groups providing you an endless variety of patterns.
	As an example for designing your own free filet crochet patterns, you can consider a chart of the filet crochet mesh filled with puff stiches for decoration. Click for chart. (new window opens).

Using puff stitches for decorating a regular filet crochet mesh, you can design your own patterns. Don't restrict your creativity since the number of variants is endless:

• Change structure of the filet crochet fabric spreading puff stitches here and there.
• Create different geometrical shapes using groups of puff stitches.
• Decorate elements of a dress, a sweater or a skirt with puff stitches.
• Combining a few different type of stitches (filet crochet mesh, puff stitches, areas of double crochets, decorative crocheted braids, for example) in the same project brings you completely new opportunity to design original "crocheted pictures".
