Ornament
A round Christmas ornament with a small cap and hanging loop, a simple festive motif that repeats beautifully. Hung in a row, the ornaments read like a garland. Bring it into the editor to add a stripe or pattern across the ball, change its size, or alternate colors of mesh, then export the chart or print it for stitching.

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
At this size the ornament shines in fine size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook; the tight gauge holds every block crisp. 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 ornament 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 ornament 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
Expect roughly 4.3 by 5.0 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
