Filet Crochet Design Book for Free Download

For more Filet Crochet monogram designs, pop over to my post on  Assissi Embroidery and download load the book from the link there.

This post is about a book on Netting designs (I wonder if anyone does netting anymore), that can be adapted for Filet crochet and Assissi. Take a look at some of the designs for yourself. My favourite is the one on the cover. Here it is. Click on the pictures to enlarge.

 Very elaborate, with plenty of details. Goes without saying, that the design will eat up a lot of yarn, and a huge chunk of time and money. But it will definitely be worth the effort. I've learnt over the years the hard way, not to scrimp on the quality of yarn, when working on elaborate projects. So no more buying supposedly good quality yarns, sold at very cheap prices.

This book has about 26 pages and over 60 designs. If you want it, you can download it from here.

Free Instructions for Filet Crochet Curtain Ties

This is a very simple yet useful free filet crochet project. 

Here's how I made it:

Foundation chains = multiple of 8 + 6 + 3 turning chains  (multiples of 8 + 9)

8 x 12 = 96 + 9 = 105 chains.

Row 1:  1 dc into the 5th chain from hook. 1 dc into each of the next 100 chains, 3 chains turn.

Row 2:  1 chain,  skip 1 dc, *1 dc into each of next 2 dc, 2 ch, skip 2 dc; rep from * until only 4 dc are left. 1 dc into each of next 2 dc, 1 ch, skip 1 dc, 1 dc into last dc; 3 chains turn.

Row 3: 1 dc into each dc to end.

Here's the chart:

Insert a cord, braid or ribbon in the space between stitches in row 2.  I made my cord.  I'll post the method in my next post.
