Filet crochet Spring/Summer Sampler throw: the best pattern to learn filet crochet for beginners

Filet crochet summer sampler throw is a set of 6 basic yet beautiful filet crochet patterns crocheted one over the other and finished with a simple regular crochet border.

Unlike most regular filet crochet patterns that use double crochet stitches, the sampler throw is designed with treble crochet stitches. This is because of the need to get a perfect square for each grid.

The six designs are all you need to get you started with filet crochet and therefore, this ampler throw is the best filet crochet pattern for beginners.

These are your basic geometric patterns that are easy to follow and crochet and the throw contains a few rows or enough rows to complete one full figure of the design.

Each of the six designs is separated by a divider row of continuous treble crochet stitches. And after finishing the six designs, the throw is given a finishing touch with a simple border.

Designs in the Sampler throw

  1. Polka dots, that contain solid and unfilled circles.
  2. Classic Chevron, a continuous zig-zag pattern
  3. Concentric Squares
  4. Dazzling Diamonds, contains a row of diamond shaped pattern.
  5. Spread love is two rows of heart, on inverted over the other.
  6. Flower Garden, a row of simple flowers.

The border is simple fan-like design with picots.

Types of instruction

Filet crochet Summer sampler throw contains three types of instructions,

  • Traditional grid or pixel chart
  • Crochet stitch chart
  • Written instructions

How to make use of the instructions?

  • Filet crochet pros, you are good to go only with the given grid/pixel chat.
  • Filet crochet novices, try crocheting with the grid charts. If you feel stuck or lost where to start, brig yourself on track by referring to either your stitch chart or written instruction.

Testers’ Love

I am very much obliged to my testers who were kind enough to spend their valuable time and energy in testing this filet crochet sampler throw pattern. They willing gave their feedback on the pattern as well.

I’ve enjoyed a lot crocheting this pattern. It was easy to follow the written pattern and the chart also helps a lot for the ones that, like me, prefer crochet graphs. The chosen motifs make a very nice and elegant throw and they bring some kind of variety and fun to the pattern. You never get bored of it!. I would also say that this is as well a perfect pattern to practice what I call “mindful crochet” and to get relaxed and away from your mental noise while crocheting it

@ladycrochet

The pattern is accurate and easy to follow even for a beginner. The representations in a grid chart, crochet stitch chart and clearly written instructions makes it an easy-make and can be easily customized to your size requirements. I found it interesting because it 6 different pattern and we could change colors in filet crochet without disturbing its design. I learnt how to exactly customize filet crochet to the size I need because of the detailed stitch count and instructions provided by the designer in pattern. A beautiful and simple border looks great on the throw

@csrbks

Filet crochet is something I would want to learn and experience. I liked the theme of the filet crochet throw. I find it really interesting to work it as each row gives a new perspective.

Thasleem Fathima

@crazycrochetworld

The filet crochet and reading crochet diagrams was a totally new experience for me. The pattern took some time to get used to. Lot of frogging initially but once I got a hang of it, it worked up quite fast. It was a totally new and awesome experience to create patterns and designs in filet crochet.

How further can you use the sampler throw pattern?

The filet crochet sampler throw is built on a fixed foundation chain. To make the throw, you start with that foundation chain number, and no change about that.

If you would like to make only the sampler throw, you can get the print-friendly version of the pattern HERE

But each of the six designs has different stitch multiples. And those multiples had been given along-side each of the design in the e-book. You can use those multiples to make any item of your choice in the future like table runner, tablecloth, shawls, etc.,

The e-book, ‘You can Filet crochet too!’ contains all the knowledge you need to get you started with filet crochet technique along with this Summer/Spring Sampler thro pattern. Besides, individual stitch multiples of the six designs are also elaborated in the e-book and you can use this to make your own decors and accessories.

You can get your copy of the e-book HERE

A couple more filet crochet patterns will be added in the e-book soon, at no additional cost. So do not miss it!

Dilly Diamond Placemats Set: The Textured Crochet Placemat And Coaster Pattern You Need

Dilly Diamond Placemats set: The textured crochet placemat and coaster pattern you need

Are you bored of your regular circular crochet placemats and coaster pattern?

Are you looking for some unique not-circular placemat set to crochet for your home space?

Dilly Diamond Placemats set is exactly what you need. The placemats and coasters are rectangle and square respectively, designed using textured stitches (but not using post stitches). And can instantly elevate the look of your dining space.

Get your copy of the Dilly Diamond crochet placemat and coaster pattern HERE

Design Inspiration

Rug coasters are quite trending as gifts from the maker community. They are quick to make, have a rustic look to them and if I might say, feels unique from those traditional round-shaped coasters. I always wanted to make a different kind of rug coaster, something textured yet practical. And ended up with the coaster design, which later I expanded to a placemat set

The Design

Dilly Diamond Placemat and coaster pattern are designed to be rectangle and square respectively of dimensions 12.6” by 10” and 4” by 4”.

The texture in this pattern is obtained by placing the stitches varyingly in three of the loops of half double crochet stitches. 

The diamond shape is obtained by making two stitches together by skipping stitches in between the legs of those two stitches. The pattern has picture tutorials as well, on how to make these stitches.

crochet placemat and coaster pattern

What you will need to make this crochet placemat and coaster pattern?

All you need to work this pattern up is a 4.5mm crochet hook and a 100% cotton worsted weight yarn. I used a little less than 2.5 skeins of Garnstudio Drops Paris for one set of coaster and placemat.

And of course, you will need a copy of the pattern, which you can get HERE.

Do you know? The pattern has written instructions, a stitch chart, and picture tutorials for the stitches

Yes, you have all you need to make the pattern. 

So, what are you waiting for? Grab the pattern HERE and start making your Dilly Diamond placemats set. Just make sure to tag me when you post your finished object!

Sanctuary of Shells Scarf: the crochet scarf pattern with all your favourite shell stitches

Sanctuary of shells scarf is a crochet scarf pattern where variations of shell stitch pattern come to one place. The shell stitches used in this pattern are a combination of both lacy and solid stitches. This scarf can be made suitable for any of the seasons by just changing your yarn with a different fiber content.

Inspiration

I am a beaches and sea kind of person. The waves of the ocean never fail to inspire me. It was during from one of my visits to the beaches the idea for this pattern was born. The shores had tiny shells of various shape and sizes. This sparked a pattern with various shell stitches and thus the Sanctuary of Shells crochet scarf pattern came to form.

Construction

Sanctuary of Shells is a rectangle crochet scarf pattern, but its construction has a twist. The scarf is worked centre-out  on either of the sides. Working the foundation chain, the scarf is first worked on one side. Starting from the same foundation chain it is then worked on the other side. On either sides, the scarf is finished with a tassel-like shell edging. This edging is the icing on the cake and adds additional beauty to the scarf.

crochet scarf pattern

For a regular rectangle scarf pattern, see my Puffs on Slalom scarf pattern.

Yarn

This crochet scarf pattern is originally designed using three skeins of Scheepjes Skies light: one skein in each of 111 Cumulus, 110 Cirrus and 109 Cirrocumulus. 

Each skein of Scheepjes skies light is 340m/100g. You can use any similar fingering weight yarn in three solid colours or one solid colour. I highly recommend not to use gradient yarns like Whirl, as they do not work well for the pattern. The pattern can also be worked in a single or dual colour as well.

Other materials

Apart from regular supplies of materials like yarn, crochet hook (4mm and 3.5mm) and scissors, wooden beads were also used in this pattern. These wooden beads were used in the edging to give a mild weight and flow to the tassel-like structure.

You can get the print-friendly version of the pattern on my Ravelry Store HERE

My Testers

Sanctuary of Shells crochet scarf pattern would not have come to life without my testers. I really could not thank them enough as they came out with their test results amidst several unexpected challenges.  You can find their work below.

Wanderlust Shawlette & Headscarf crochet pattern- a simple and elegant one-skein wonder

Wanderlust shawlette is a simple flat triangular summer scarf. The crochet shawlette and headscarf pattern is a one-skein wonder and can be made literally with a single cake of Scheepjes whirlette. The shawlette and the matching headscarf are quick to make despite using a thinner yarn and a small crochet hook. They can instantly amp up your basic outfits and make you well put together when you have not tried them.

Add this to your Ravelry favorites HERE

The name

There is no deep-cut reason for naming this pattern “the Wanderlust.” I am always fascinated by the idea of a solo trip with bare minimums. We pack our basics and a few accessories for trips to bring out the outfits. Wanderlust patterns fit perfectly to this.

Construction of the crochet shawlette and headscarf

The shawlette and the headscarf are constructed from one end of the triangle to the other. There is a gradual increase along one side at the beginning, a few rows worked without any increase/decrease, and finally, a gradual decrease in the stitches along the same side as the increase. Later, they are completed with a simple yet elegant border. The headscarf has ties at both ends to facilitate easy tying.
