Cherries
Cherries as a tidy 26 by 25 filet motif with a strong silhouette that survives even on a smaller grid, ideal for kitchen towels, café-style runners, and foodie gift squares. Load it in the editor to adjust the spacing, add a surrounding frame, or mirror it for a matched pair, then save or print the finished chart.

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
For a larger cherries, mercerised cotton in DK or worsted weight on a 3.5–4.5 mm hook keeps the blocks square while giving you a usable throw or cushion size. 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
Use the cherries as a cheerful kitchen accent or a repeated row on a border. It suits a café-style runner and works just as well on a pot-holder panel. Scale the grid up for a centrepiece or tile the motif for an all-over effect.
Who it's for
Think of a host, and occasions like a kitchen refresh — the cherries lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 6.5-by-6.3-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.
