Crochet Techniques

Basic Filet Crochet

Basic filet instructions:

• Ch 3 is counted as the first dc in the row.
• After, 1 block (bl) over block is dc in 3 dc.
• Bl over space (sp) is 2dc in space, dc in the next dc.
• Space over bl is ch2, sk2 dc, dc in the next.
• Sp over sp is ch 2, dc in the next dc.

Lacet Stitch

Lacet stitch instructions:

• Ch3, skip 2sts or chs, sc in the next st.
• Ch 3, skip 2 sts or chs, dc in the next.

Forming Bars

To form bar [ba] (these are over lacets), ch5, sk lacet, dc in the next dc.

Increasing and Decreasing Stitches

To Increase at the Beginning of the Row

Ch6 (plus 3 for each additional bl). Dc in the 5th ch from the hook. Continue.

To Increase at the End of the Row

Yo, insert hook in the same st as the last dc. Yo, pull up one loop (this will be the base for the next stitch), yo and continue your dc. Do 3dc for each additional block needed. It is important to hold the base loop as you continue the stitch and begin the next to prevent your dc from being too small.

To Decrease

Sl st across to the first bl to be worked.

Instructions to Start Your Doily

To start, ch22. Dc in the 5th ch from the hook and in each ch across. This equals 6 blocks. Follow the chart, using one color throughout, or as I did, changing colors before and after solid rows. I used the fonts on my computer to make the graph; hopefully, it's easy enough to follow.
