How to Do a Filet Lacet Fancy Mesh
From your Crochet Guide
Instructions for crocheting a lacet, sometimes called fancy mesh, which is
used in some filet crochet designs. Learn how to start a new row where the lacet is
the first square on the chart.
Difficulty Level:
Easy
Time Required:
5 minutes
Here's How:
- When a lacet is the first square in a row on the chart,
make it this way (includes the turning chain): chain 6, skip next 2 stitches or
chains, single crochet in next stitch or chain, chain 3, skip
next 2 stitches or chains, double crochet in next double crochet.
- For additional lacets in a row, make each one this way:
chain 3, skip next 2 stitches or chains, single crochet
in next stitch or chain, chain 3, skip next 2 stitches
or chains, double crochet in next stitch or chain.
- On the next row, the square above the lacet will be a
long mesh. For a long mesh which is the first square in a row on a
chart, see step 4. For additional long mesh worked within the row,
see step 5.
- A long mesh which is the first square in a row on a
chart is made this way (includes the turning chain): chain 8, skip first
lacet, double crochet in next double crochet.
- Additional long mesh worked within the row are each made
like this: chain 5, skip next lacet, double crochet in
next double crochet.
Tips:
- Many charts are worked in filet crochet in solid and open mesh
only, with no lacets. You can insert lacets within a design, wherever
you choose to, by substituting a lacet for two open or solid mesh squares
on the chart.
