Filet crochet is an easy-to-crochet technique which uses double crochet stitches and chain stitches.
The charts that often accompany filet crochet patterns are very easy to understand because they only contain the 2 types of stitches. The stitches are often referred to as blocks, the blocks being 4 dc (for a solid section) or 1 dc, ch 2, (skip 2), 1 dc, for the open block.
The only tricky bit, which isn’t really tricky at all, is that blocks share bordered stitches.
So if you have a solid filled-in block, and then an open block, the solid block represents 4 dc, and the open block represents 1 dc, ch 2 (skip 2), 1 dc.
It would be worked as 1 dc, 1 dc, 1 dc, 1 dc, ch 2 (sk 2), 1 dc; where the 1 dc is shared between the 2 blocks.

Hi Jo, I messaged him to ask if I could write it up for him but he never responded. Fingers crossed he chooses to say yes 🙂 All the best, Rhondda

I am very interested in a written pattern as well. If one is found, I would look forward to it. I have made one afghan by following the video, but I don’t always have a computer accessible.
