I recharted this letter, added the colors and added
all of the filet crochet instructions. -- Sandi Marshall The
alphabet was originally
printed in the vintage book Manual of Crocheting, No. 5
by Mary E. Fitch, in the year 1915 (copyright has expired). Charts in
the 1915 book had no instructions and were in black and white only,
with no light lines indicating
outline of squares where two or more filled squares were grouped
together (just solid black areas).
You may print out one copy of this page for your
own personal use. Please do not copy further, post anywhere on the Internet or
otherwise redistribute this chart and instructions.
If others would like to have this chart and instructions,
please give them the URL of the Checkered Alphabet Index page (link below) so
that they may come here for themselves. On the index page, I give
instructions for making the charts into name doilies, using them for
cross-stitch on crocheted background and so forth. Thank you.
