Cheese wedge
Cheese wedge charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 26 by 28 motif made for kitchen towels, café-style runners, and foodie 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.

Skill level: easy
This sits just above an absolute beginner make. The design has a little more shaping to count, but the lines stay clean and forgiving once you settle into the rhythm.
Yarn and hook
Work the cheese wedge in cotton thread for a delicate result, or in DK or worsted cotton on a larger hook for a cushion- or blanket-scale version that still holds the mesh open. Traditional filet is a single colour, which keeps the block-and-mesh contrast readable, but you can always work the background in a second shade.
Project ideas
Reach for the cheese wedge when you want a housewarming gift. It looks at home on a foodie gift square and a kitchen towel alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a foodie, the cheese wedge suits a market stall beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 6.5-by-7.0-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.
