Make Filet Crochet Patterns!!!

I found this website called flosscross.com which is super awesome for making filet crochet and cross-stitch patterns from images.

Here's an explanation of how to use it for filet crochet:

Find the image that you want to use. It's important that your elements aren't too small, especially for filet crochet, as it's going to be pixelized. Also, keep in mind that your image will be simplified to only two "colours" - boxes that are filled in, and ones that aren't. If you have a more complex colour image, it might be a good idea to make it black and white ahead of time, so that you can have better control over what it looks like, and edit contrast. To do this, use Photoshop and "posterize" - this makes it so that there are only two colours in your image, black and white.

Go to flosscross.com. I would heavily recommend doing this on a computer, it works a lot smoother.

Import your image. It will prompt you to crop your image, you can also edit this later.

Select chart size. This is where it gets tricky. If you know how big you want your finished product to be, good for you. If you want it to be approximately a certain size, crochet a swatch to determine how big each stitch is and do some math to see how many stitches you would need. If you have absolutely no clue what size you want, and just want a pretty final product, pick an arbitrary size that looks kind of okay and bear with me.

Select your palette. If you were doing cross-stitch, this would decide which colours would be closest to the ones in your image. But, with filet crochet, there are only two colours. See the box where you can type in "Max Colours Count"? Do not erase what is in the box and type two. The website will crash. Instead, make sure that there is always a value in that box. Mine reads 30 to start with, so I will delete the 0, and replace it with a 2 so it reads 32, then use my arrow keys to go in and delete the 3 in front. Your pattern might show red and white, or blue and white instead of black and white, this is ok. It depends what colour is the most dominant in your picture. You can change this later.

Brightness and Chart Size. If you haven't picked a chart size yet, this is when you will do it. You're going to go between the chart size tab and this one, changing the chart size and the brightness. You want to find a balance between image resolution and project size. Changing brightness will make the lines heavier or lighter, and can help all elements of the image be seen. This will take a bit.

Reduce Colours. You don't really need to do anything here. Do not make your white transparent. You won't be able to count your number of stitches when reading the pattern.

Editing. Here, you can get rid of any pixels that are out of place. Make any final edits to chart size under Edit>Change Chart Size. Select the symbol that you want to represent your colours with, I'd recommend going with the white square for your white (or "empty") stitches. You can change your symbols by clicking on the little box or square under the colour that is selected.

9. Make sure the symbols look okay. Click on the box with an x in it on the top menu, and view symbols. Make sure they are legible.

10. Export your finished pattern! I like doing mine as a PDF, as it's the easiest. At this point, if you have a weird colour instead of black, you can un-check the Colored Pattern box under pattern setup.

Here are some screenshots of the pattern that I made.

Here's the first page.

Here's the second page, the actual pattern. When I print this out to use, I plan to highlight the squares as I do them.

Enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions! :D

my current project is my first

asymmetrical flat design so i have to flip back and forth between the reversed chart and the normal chart

attempt at working with 2 colors in a filet crochet piece

attempt at using stitch markers in an organized manner

design that includes long irregular spaces with length unspecified in pattern so i have to infer/count individual chains as i go to make sure it stays even

and im making fewer mistakes than with previous pieces because im better prepared and paying better attention, further confirming that attention is the greatest superpower of all and ive been wasting it

#also technically my first time increasing with diagonal half spaces but thats just fun and not a notable obstacle

For those of you that crochet, here is the chart I designed for my filet crochet altar cloth.

The yarn I used was YarnArt Flowers Moonlight and I used a 2.75 mm hook.

The set up row if you are making this as a filet crochet piece is:

Ch 159, dc in 9th Ch from hook, *ch2, sk 2, dc in next to end of row. Ch3, turn.

You then work the chart beginning at Row 2. Each solid square is 2 dc in the ch2 sp, dc in next (or dc in next 3 dc) and each open square is ch2, dc in next dc (or ch2, sk 2, dc in next dc).

To start each row, rather than using a ch5, I did a stacked sc, ch2.

This chart can also be adapted for color work, corner to corner or even cross stitch. Please feel free to use it however you like just credit the pattern back to The Flyting Fox. 😊

My grandma used to make a lot of filet crochet doilies and the like, so after getting a shite fuck ton of crochet thread at the thrift store because it was 25/50 cents for entire unopened cones that cost 5-10 dollars each to get new ‘take a breath here for this run on sentence thanks’, I decided to finally bite the bullet and try filet crochet for a gift for her.

I do like it, but you definitely gotta keep in mind that the chart you are looking at will be three times the size. It’s so deceptive, a chart will have one square but 1 tile is equal to 3 dc’s; you gotta triple the size. I get it since that’s how you get such detail but goodness.

more blankets i've made 🥰 top was a gift for jason, the bottom was for amy (along w the filet crochet chart i created for it bc im proud of it)

#crochet #hope its ok to post ur blankie amy teehee

Pattern? Pattern pls for the Joan of Arc tapestry? Please???

Oops, it was supposed to be linked on the original post, but it's here. I believe its originally a chart for filet crochet, but I just did colorwork as thats what I'm familiar with. Hope this helps!

not the greatest pic but i made a blanket for my grandma <3 she made me an afghan when i was a kid - i wanted to return the favor. i found a vintage patternbook published the year that she was my age, loved the one featured on the cover, and decided to make it for her! it's filet crochet, about 4.5 jumbo skeins of rhss. she loves it and said nobody had ever made her an afghan before 🥹 it's my first time working filet from a chart, and my first twin size afghan, i think it came out great! took maybe two weeks with a few hours a day.

I found this absolutely gorgeous filet crochet pattern on the Antique Pattern Library! (And there’s a charted version on The Internet Archive)

It’s from Édouard Boucherit’s Grand Album de Modèles pour Filet No. 9

Look at it! It’s so pretty!

But it’s 151 stitches by 87 stitches, so I need to be absolutely sure that I know what I’m doing before I start it, lol. It would be terrible to get halfway through and realize that my stitch height or something is off and warping the picture.

(For reference, one of my previous projects was 36 stitches by 26 stitches. That’s 936 stitches total. It took me about 6 ish hours to complete, and is 35cm wide.

This pattern, 151x87, is 13,137 total stitches. That’s fourteen times bigger than my previous project. If we assume that it’ll take me the same amount of time per stitch (I hope not. I hope I get at least a bit faster with practice) it will take me 84 hours to finish.

Also, assuming stitches are the same size as in my previous project, the finished dimensions will be about 85cm by 147 cm (or about 2 foot 9 by 4 foot 10)

So yea. Big project. But it’s SO PRETTY.

The Rite of Spring stitched by Bart aka parkhopperbart. 

Stravinsky's famous ballet, The Rite of Spring, depicts ancient Russia and their rituals for the coming of spring. The ballet culminates in a sacrificial dance, where a chosen maiden dances herself to death. Using a filet crochet pattern from Wolf & Dupreyon’s Le Filet Ancien au Point de Reprise III, this chart depicts the sacrificial maiden mid-dance. This pattern is available through my Gumroad page, linked in my profile bio. 

79 x 234 stitches 6 colors of DMC, 2 colors of classiccolorworks The skin of the dancer is charted with DMC 840 and 841, for the model I used 1866: The Civil Rights Act from almond_mnms Skin collection. The model was stitched on 32 count linen from foxandrabbitdesigns in the color way hogbristle. Frame is a custom frame from arttoframes.

thinking about trying to learn filet crochet

kinda wanna try making a heartagram top, I did just order some light fingering yarn too 🙃
