Strawberry
Strawberry as a tidy 19 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.

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 strawberry 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. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.
Project ideas
Reach for the strawberry when you want a cook's present. 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 strawberry 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 4.8-by-6.3-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.
