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.

Thank you so much for testing this pattern for me. Both of you were awesome to work with, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Materials

Yarn: Crochet Thread size 10
Metal Hook Size: 7/1.65mm
Finished size: 3.5 by 3.5 inches (After the edging, the width measures slightly more than the height. It is hardly noticeable if worked in crochet thread, but a thicker yarn will result in a greater difference making it somewhat rectangular.)
