Letter P

A block-stitched capital P laid out on a clean filet grid and doubled in size so the strokes read clearly from across a room. Use it on its own as a bold monogram or line several letters up to spell a name like Penny, Paul, or Piper. The glyph opens in the editor as fully editable cells, so you can widen the bars, add a border, or change the spacing before you export a PNG or print the finished chart.

Perfect for

Skill level: easy

This sits just above an absolute beginner make. The design has a little more shaping to count, but the lines stay clean and forgiving once you settle into the rhythm.

Yarn and hook

For a larger Letter P, 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. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.

Project ideas

Use the Letter P as a standalone initial or letters combined into a word. It suits a monogram cushion and works just as well on a nursery sign. Scale the grid up for a centrepiece or tile the motif for an all-over effect.

Who it's for

Think of a new baby, and occasions like a wedding — the Letter P lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.

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. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
