Table lamp
Table lamp charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 19 by 21 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.

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
For a larger table lamp, mercerised cotton in DK or worsted weight on a 3.5–4.5 mm hook keeps the blocks square while giving you a usable throw or cushion size. Stick to one well-defined colour for the motif; the contrast between filled and open squares is what carries the design.
Project ideas
Whether you are making a tea towel or a table runner, the table lamp drops in cleanly, ideal for a cook's birthday. 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 table lamp panel makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a tea-lover, and it fits naturally with Mother's Day. Add a name or date in editable bitmap lettering to make it a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 4.8-by-5.3-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. 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.
