Menorah
Menorah charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 21 by 19 motif made for seasonal throws, festive runners, and holiday gifts. 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.

Skill level: easy
A relaxed step up from the simplest motifs. There is a touch more detail to follow, yet nothing here needs advanced technique — just steady counting.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine menorah panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
Whether you are making a festive table runner or a stocking, the menorah drops in cleanly, ideal for a handmade gift. 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 menorah panel makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a grandchild, and it fits naturally with Easter. 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 5.3 by 4.8 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. 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.
