Heart
A full, symmetrical heart charted as solid filet blocks with a clean open border around it. It works as the centerpiece of a love-themed blanket, a Valentine's pillow, or a quick gift square. Open it in the editor to stretch the grid taller, soften the point, or surround it with a lace mesh, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to follow row by row.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
This is a friendly first filet project. The shape reads clearly even if your counting slips by a square or two, and there are no tricky fragmented areas to track.
Yarn and hook
A small motif like the heart suits size 10 or 20 cotton thread and a steel hook, giving the delicate, heirloom look filet is known for. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
The heart is a natural fit for a Valentine's make: try it on a love-themed blanket square, or a hanging heart sachet. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.
Who it's for
The heart is an easy win when you are making something for a partner or marking Valentine's Day. 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 3.8-by-3.5-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.
