Frames

Rounded frame

Rounded frame as a tidy 30 by 22 filet motif with a strong silhouette that survives even on a smaller grid, ideal for blankets, runners, and 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: 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 rounded frame, 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. Stick to one well-defined colour for the motif; the contrast between filled and open squares is what carries the design.

Project ideas

Use the rounded frame as an even border around a name, date, or central motif. It suits a sampler border and works just as well on a name sign. Scale the grid up for a centrepiece or tile the motif for an all-over effect.

Who it's for

Think of a family, and occasions like a new home — the rounded frame lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.

Size, printing, and scaling

Expect roughly 7.5 by 5.5 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
