Filet crochet

Filet crochet is a type of crocheted fabric. This type of .

Filet crochet is most often worked from a graph or a symbol diagram. Patterns are created by combining solid and open meshes, usually working the design in solid meshes and the background in open meshes. the size of the space is determined by the number of chain stitches between each double stitch. [Eckman, pp. 265-266.] Filet crochet may also be worked with half-double crochet or even treble crochet.

Many simple cross-stitch patterns can be effectively converted to filet crochet and vice versa by filling the design region with solid blocks and crocheting an open mesh in the areas with no pattern. As with all other types of crochet, filet crochet looks best if blocked before use to highlight the design.
