September Stitch of The Month - Filet Squares Stitch Pattern - Filet Squares Table Runner | Posh Pooch Designs

 September Stitch of The Month
Filet Squares Stitch Pattern 
Filet Squares Table Runner Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

I have received so many messages, comments and

 emails about Filet Crochet, I thought it would be fun

 to learn a simple Filet Crochet Stitch Pattern Together.

The Filet Squares is a perfect pattern for just that.

What is "Filet Crochet"?

Filet is a  French word that means Net or Mesh.

Filet Crochet is stitching a fabric that consists of a mesh or grid-like appearance. It usually consists of Double Crochet Stitches and chain 1 spaces to form shapes and letters. It is a rather easy technique and there are many different ways to use this technique.

For September's  Crochet Stitch Pattern

we are stitching up the  Filet Squares Table Runner

 in Fall Colors. I have chosen Crafters Secret Cotton. 

It is a medium (4) 100 % Cotton yarn, and Auburn Clay

 is the colorway. You will need 2 balls which is 5 oz.

I designed the Table Runner using an I / 5.5 MM crochet hook.

 Some times it is difficult to keep your gauge or tension when

 working Filet Crochet. 

I found that this size hook helped keep me on track.
