Filet Heart Coaster/Square – FREE Crochet Pattern
Here is my first filet crochet pattern. It is for a heart, which you can use as a coaster or as an afghan square. As for the yarn to use for this pattern, I used a size 10 crochet thread, but any other yarn will work just as well.
Personally, I think this would look lovely in a cotton bedspread. I’m thinking of making pink and white hearts and then join them together with a red thread. Or, I could do red and white hearts and then join with pink…or black…not sure yet. Ahh if only I could slow down time while crocheting then maybe I’d get to crochet all the things I want to make.
A few notes on Filet Crochet:
= 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc (the open block at the beginning of each row is made with a ch 4 and dc).
= 3 dc
= 1 dc, (ch 1, dc) twice.
= 5 dc
