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
Work the kettle 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. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
Reach for the kettle when you want a kitchen refresh. 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 kettle suits a thank-you gift beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 5.5 by 5.0 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.
