Croissant
Croissant charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 28 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.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
A great place to start filet crochet. The motif is forgiving, the blocks are easy to count, and the design still looks polished once it is blocked.
Yarn and hook
Work the croissant 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. Pick a smooth, non-fuzzy yarn so the filled blocks stay square and the open squares stay open after blocking.
Project ideas
The croissant is a natural fit for a cook's present: try it on a pot-holder panel, or a foodie gift square. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.
Who it's for
The croissant is an easy win when you are making something for a baker or marking a housewarming. Stitch it in the recipient's favourite colour to make the gift feel personal.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 7.0 by 7.0 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. Print the numbered grid to follow row by row, or open it in the editor to crop, enlarge, or tile the design before exporting a PDF or PNG.
