Lattice

A crisscrossing lattice of fine diagonal lines that opens the grid into an airy diamond mesh, perfect as a light background or a window-curtain panel. The thin lines keep it delicate. Bring it into the editor to thicken the lattice, change the diamond size, or fill selected cells with a motif, then export to PDF or print the chart.

Skill level: advanced

This is a detailed chart with dense shaping and several distinct regions to track. It rewards experience with filet, a printed numbered grid, and unhurried, focused stitching.

Yarn and hook

Work the lattice 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. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.

Project ideas

The lattice is a natural fit for a minimalist accent: try it on an all-over blanket field, or a market bag. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.

Who it's for

The lattice is an easy win when you are making something for a modern maker or marking a contemporary make. 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 7.5-by-7.5-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.

Before you start

Hook: 3.5–4.5 mm hook
Thread / yarn: DK or worsted-weight cotton
Finished size: 7.5 × 7.5 in at 4 mesh/in

Lattice filet crochet pattern — FAQ

Can a beginner crochet the lattice pattern?

It is an advanced chart, so it makes a better second or third filet project than a first. Work from a printed grid, use a row counter, and it is well within a patient beginner's reach.

Can I print the lattice pattern or save it as a PDF?

Yes. The print view produces a clean, numbered chart you can follow row by row, and you can export the same design as a PDF, PNG, JSON, TXT, or CSV. It is free to print.

Can I resize the lattice chart?

Yes. Open it in the editor and change the grid dimensions, crop it, or tile it. Because every cell is a true block or open mesh, scaling never makes half-stitches.

Can I make the lattice in more than one colour?

Filet crochet is traditionally a single colour so the filled and open squares read clearly, but you can work the background in a second shade or add a contrast border.

How many stitches is the lattice pattern?

The chart is 30 by 30 squares — 900 mesh in total, about 250 of them filled. At 4 mesh per inch that finishes roughly 7.5 by 7.5 inches.
