Filet crochet isn’t just for doilies anymore! These eight charted designs for afghans finish quickly, with pretty images of birds in flight, easy geometrics, a delicate butterfly, or Art Deco florals. You’ll race through the rows of simple stitches, adding the lacy look of filet crochet to your home in a bold new way with an afghan for every room!

Eight designs by Michele Mireau to crochet using medium weight yarn:

  • Blueberry Diamonds,
  • Lilac Mosaic,
  • Peach Opposites Attract,
  • Pink Butterfly,
  • Grey Simply Squares, and

Each design is worked by following a square-grid chart, where open squares represent working ¬ch 1, dc® and colored squares indicate ¬2 dc.®

Filet crochet is a type of crochet that uses a series of solid and open mesh stitches to create a pattern or design. It is typically worked in rows, with each row consisting of a combination of solid stitches (usually double crochets) and open mesh stitches (usually chain stitches). The solid stitches create the “fill” of the pattern, while the open mesh stitches form the “background.”

Filet crochet is often used to create intricate, lacy patterns, such as doilies, table runners, and even clothing. It is also a popular technique for creating pictures or words using a graph or chart.

The origins of filet crochet are not well documented, but it is believed to have originated in Europe in the 19th century. It became especially popular in the early 20th century, when it was used to create a variety of household items, such as doilies, bedspreads, and tablecloths. Today, filet crochet is still a popular form of crochet and is enjoyed by crocheters all over the world.

Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern

I recently had the pleasure of working on the Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. This sweet and cuddly turtle is the perfect companion for any little one. His playful and energetic personality is sure to bring a smile to any child’s face, and his soft and snuggly body is perfect for cuddling and napping.

One of the things that I particularly loved about this pattern is that it is budget-friendly. You can use up your yarn scraps to create an adorable snuggle blanket that is both unique and special. The pattern calls for either DK-weight or worsted weight yarn and US sizes E/3.5 mm and G/4.25 mm crochet hooks, so you have plenty of options when it comes to choosing your materials. The finished size is 14 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ (DK-weight) or 15 3/4″ x 10 1/2″ (worsted), making it the perfect size for a little one to hold and cuddle.

But what exactly is a lovey, you might ask? A lovey is a small blanket or stuffed animal that a child becomes attached to and uses for comfort and security. They are often used as a transitional object to help a child feel safe and secure when away from their primary caregivers. Loveys can be an especially helpful tool for children who are anxious or going through a major life change, such as starting daycare or moving to a new home.

In short, I highly recommend the Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern. It’s a fun and budget-friendly project that is sure to bring joy and comfort to any little one. Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just starting out.
