Ring
Ring charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 9 by 7 motif made for modern throws, all-over repeats, and bold accent panels. 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.

There is real detail to manage here. It is well within reach once you are comfortable reading a chart, especially with a row counter beside you.
Yarn and hook
A small motif like the ring suits size 10 or 20 cotton thread and a steel hook, giving the delicate, heirloom look filet is known for. Stick to one well-defined colour for the motif; the contrast between filled and open squares is what carries the design.
Project ideas
Whether you are making a modern throw or a statement cushion, the ring drops in cleanly, ideal for a textural background. Set it on its own, pair it with a matching motif, or run a row of them along an edge.
Who it's for
A ring panel makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a home decorator, and it fits naturally with a home refresh. Add a name or date in editable bitmap lettering to make it a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 2.3 by 1.8 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. 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.
