Rosebud
Rosebud charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 17 by 22 motif made for springtime throws, table runners, and floral gift squares. Open it in the editor to resize the grid, frame it with open mesh, or repeat it into a border, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
This is a friendly first filet project. The shape reads clearly even if your counting slips by a square or two, and there are no tricky fragmented areas to track.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine rosebud panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Stick to one well-defined colour for the motif; the contrast between filled and open squares is what carries the design.
Project ideas
The rosebud is a natural fit for home decor: try it on a floral blanket square, or a tote-bag panel. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.
Who it's for
The rosebud is an easy win when you are making something for a gardener or marking Mother's Day. Stitch it in the recipient's favourite colour to make the gift feel personal.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 4.3-by-5.5-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
