Letter M
The letter M charted as a solid filet capital with crisp edges, ready to stand alone as an initial or join other letters into a word. Pair it with names such as Mia, Mason, or Maya for a personalised blanket, cushion, or wall hanging. Bring it into the editor to scale the grid, thicken the strokes, or frame it, then export to PDF or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

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
Work the Letter M 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. Stick to one well-defined colour for the motif; the contrast between filled and open squares is what carries the design.
Project ideas
The Letter M is a natural fit for a milestone year: try it on a nursery sign, or a personalised wall hanging. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.
Who it's for
The Letter M is an easy win when you are making something for a namesake or marking a personalised gift. Stitch it in the recipient's favourite colour to make the gift feel personal.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 4.5-by-5.5-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. 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.
