Every motif here scored in the top tier of our internal quality review — the cleanest silhouettes, the most readable detail, and the best behaviour when scaled down to a thumbnail or up to a blanket panel. These are the designs we would put on the cover.

They make excellent centrepieces and gifts because the shape carries the whole piece with no fussy detail to lose. Open any one in the editor to resize, crop, or frame it before you print or export.

Premium Picks — frequently asked questions

How many patterns are in the Premium Picks collection?

There are 49 editable filet crochet patterns in this collection, ranging beginner to easy in difficulty. Every one opens in the editor as fully editable cells.

What skill level is the premium picks collection?

Most patterns here are beginner level, with the set spanning beginner to easy. Difficulty is estimated from each chart's size and detail, so you can start with a simpler motif and work up.

What yarn and hook should I use for these patterns?

Smooth cotton, thread to worsted with a 1.5 mm steel up to 4.5 mm is a good starting point. Work the smaller motifs in size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook for fine detail, or move the larger ones to DK or worsted cotton on a bigger hook for blanket-weight pieces. A single solid, light colour reads best either way.

Can I print or export the premium picks patterns?

Yes. Open any pattern in the editor to print a clean numbered chart, or export it as a PDF, PNG, JSON, TXT, or CSV. Everything is free and there is no sign-up.

Can I resize or customise these patterns?

Yes. Because every cell is a true block or open mesh, you can resize the grid, crop, mirror, or tile any animals motif without creating half-stitches, then save your own version.
