Suitable For Various Types of Needlecrafts
I recharted this design, for better quality, which was originally printed as a blue and white chart in the year 1916 in Variety Italian Cut Work and Filet Lace. The instructions on this page were not part of the 1916 book; I added them. -- Sandi Marshall

Working the Chart in Filet Crochet
For a 4 dc mesh, starting chain is 145, plus chain 3, (which will count as first dc of first row) plus 2 more (which is the chain-2 of the first open mesh). Total starting chain is 150 chains. Begin by working a double crochet in the 9th 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.
