Basic Filet Information

The chart provided is actually upside down in the way the stitches are worked. When you print it out, turn it over and start at the wide end and work your way to the narrow point.

Filet is usually done by following a stitch chart or a graph. If you look on the graph, you will see black spaces. These will be referred to as "blocks". The open spaces will be referred to as "spaces". The first two rows explain how to make blocks and spaces. After that, you will be instructed how many blocks and spaces you will need to make as you go.
