Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
A great place to start filet crochet. The motif is forgiving, the blocks are easy to count, and the design still looks polished once it is blocked.
Yarn and hook
At this size the mason jar shines in fine size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook; the tight gauge holds every block crisp. Pick a smooth, non-fuzzy yarn so the filled blocks stay square and the open squares stay open after blocking.
Project ideas
Reach for the mason jar when you want a housewarming gift. It looks at home on a homey gift square and a tea towel alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a new homeowner, the mason jar suits a thank-you gift beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 4.3 by 5.3 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.
