What is Filet Crochet? 

The most beautiful pictures and designs are created using filet crochet. Simply put, a grid is created using chain stitches to form squares, referred to as spaces. This mesh fabric is the background. The picture or design is created by filling in some of the squares, referred to as blocks, usually with double crochet stitches. Half double and treble crochet stitches can also be used. The picture or design is made by following a chart.

The picture shows part of an actual chart for a leaf showing the spaces and blocks.

The trick to filet crochet is making all the stitches even and this, of course, takes practice.

Your filet crochet can be used for many things, doilies, chair sets, table runners, place mats, use to decorate clothing, or frame as pictures.

hey, nice lens! I used to crochet when I was a teenager, it was a great thing to do to releave stress, very calming and relaxing. I should take it up again. I've never tried filet crochet though. My grandmother used to do it back in the 30's and 40's, I have a lot of the ones she made still.
