Fries
Fries charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 26 by 26 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
A relaxed step up from the simplest motifs. There is a touch more detail to follow, yet nothing here needs advanced technique — just steady counting.
Yarn and hook
For a larger fries, 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. Pick a smooth, non-fuzzy yarn so the filled blocks stay square and the open squares stay open after blocking.
Project ideas
Reach for the fries when you want a kitchen make. 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 fries 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-6.5-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. 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.
