From Crochet at About.com: Chart for Baby Chick (Side View) for Filet Crochet or Cross-Stitch

To make a crocheted background to cross-stitch the design on, starting chain is 16 chains for single crochet or 15 chains for afghan stitch. Work this background for 15 rows.

Working the Chart in Filet Crochet For a 4 dc mesh, beginning chain is 46, plus chain 3, (which will count as first dc of first row), plus chain 2 (which is the ch-2 of the first open mesh), for a total starting chain of 51 chains. Begin by working a double crochet in the 8th chain from the hook. Follow chart for placement of solid mesh and open mesh for each row. For a refresher on how to do open and solid mesh, see Basics link below.

Chart is worked starting at the bottom right; work first row right to left. Second row is worked left to right. Continue alternating row directions in this same manner, following chart.

Chart was also printed (as part of another design) in Star Needlework Journal, Vol. 4, No 4, published in the year 1919. Info on Length of Copyright Protection Terms: www.copyright.gov
