Pear
A bold, recognizable pear drawn on the filet grid at 24 by 26, equally at home in kitchen towels, café-style runners, and foodie gift squares. Bring it into the editor to enlarge it, pair it with a matching motif, or tile it across a panel, then export to PDF or print the chart sized to your gauge.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine pear panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. 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
The pear is a natural fit for a housewarming gift: 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 pear 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
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 6.0-by-6.5-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
