Mitten
Mitten charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 19 by 21 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: beginner
If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.
Yarn and hook
Work the mitten 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. 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 mitten as a festive centrepiece or a repeating seasonal band. It suits a stocking and works just as well on a tree-skirt panel. Scale the grid up for a centrepiece or tile the motif for an all-over effect.
Who it's for
Think of a holiday-lover, and occasions like Halloween — the mitten lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 4.8 by 5.3 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.
