A filled-in crochet block is four double crochet stitches. Although each crochet block consists of four stitches, some of those stitches are shared between blocks. Now here's the most important thing where people new to filet crochet can sometimes get lost. Filled-in blocks may also be called solid blocks or simply blocks.Įach row typically starts and ends with a “closed mesh” or solid block square (four double crochets) rather than open spaces although this can vary by design. Open blocks may also be called blank or empty. Sometimes patterns will refer to open mesh and closed mesh blocks. The fabric that you're creating is often called "mesh" or "grid".
This is important to know when working asymmetrical designs. Odd-numbered rows are worked from right to left but even number rows are worked from left to right. The filet crochet chart is read from the bottom up. Blocks that are open will be two chain stitches with a dc on either side. Blocks that are filled in will be all double crochet stitches. The entire fabric is worked using only double crochet stitches and chain stitches. Looking for a line of yarn with lots of color options?
