Broom
Broom charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 20 by 23 motif made for kitchen towels, table runners, and homey gift makes. 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.

Perfect for
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 broom panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. 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 broom as a homely kitchen accent or a repeated band on linens. It suits a table runner and works just as well on a pot-holder. Scale the grid up for a centrepiece or tile the motif for an all-over effect.
Who it's for
Think of a keen cook, and occasions like a kitchen refresh — the broom lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 5.0 by 5.8 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. 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.
