Letter B
A bold capital B built from filet blocks and scaled up for clarity, the building block of any monogram or custom word. Stitch it as a single initial or spell out Bella, Ben, or Brooke across a project. Open it in the editor to adjust the letter spacing, add a surrounding frame, or set it over two rows, then export a PNG or print the chart sized to your gauge.

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 Letter B panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
Reach for the Letter B when you want a new-baby make. It looks at home on a personalised wall hanging and a name blanket alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a couple, the Letter B suits a milestone beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 4.5 by 5.5 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.
